Advanced Eye Protection with Blue Light Blocking Technology: This welding helmet features cutting-edge Blue Light Blocking outer lens, shielding your eyes from harmful blue light during welding, protects your eyes by filtering out most of harmful high energy blue light rays while letting through the less harmful portion of the blue light spectrum. This ensures long-lasting eye comfort and safety, making it ideal for extended welding sessions
Multi-Application: Wide shade range 3.5/9-13, covering most common welding processes, ideal for TIG, MIG, MMA (Stick), and GRIND. Easily accommodates magnifying lenses for close-up work
Clear View: This auto darkening welding helmet is equipped with standard 3.64"X1.67" viewing area, enjoys upgraded optical clarity, improves visibility and reduced eye strain
Fast Auto-darkening: 2 premium arc sensors trigger darkness in 1/20000 sec. Features adjustable sensitivity and delay controls for optimal performance in any lighting/arc condition
Long Service Life: Powered by solar panel technology and replaceable CR2450 lithium battery. Solar panel can transform harmful arcs into electrical energy not only for longer life, but also provides support for energy conservation and environmental protection
Comfortability & Durability: Meets ANSI Z87.1 and CSA Z94.3 standards for sustainable manufacturing. Pivot style headgear ensures superior comfort, a secure fit, and balanced weight for all-day wear. Built for intuitive operation, making it beginner-friendly and a reliable choice

Q: What is "Blue Light Blocking" and how is it different from a regular lens?

A: Standard welding helmets often give everything a murky green tint. Our Blue Light Blocking technology filters out the high-energy blue rays that cause eye strain, while letting through safer spectrums. This results in a view that is clearer and sharper, reducing that "tired eye" feeling after a long day of welding.

Q: Is the view "True Color"?

A: While similar to True Color technology, our lens focuses specifically on blocking harmful blue light spikes. You will experience upgraded optical clarity that allows you to see the weld puddle and heat variance much better than older, standard dark-green filters.

Q: Is this helmet safe for industrial use?

A: Yes. This helmet meets strictly tested safety standards. It provides full UV/IR protection at all times, even when the helmet is in the "light" state or if the battery were to fail.

Q: Will this work for TIG welding?

A: Yes, it is rated for TIG, MIG, and Stick welding. It features Adjustable Sensitivity, which is crucial for TIG.
Pro Tip: Since this unit has 2 Arc Sensors, ensure you have a clear line of sight to the arc. For very low-amperage TIG (<10 amps) or obstructed angles, ensure your sensitivity is set to "High."

Q: What is the reaction time? Will I get flashed?

A: The lens switches from light to dark in approximately 1/20,000 to 1/30,000 of a second. This is instantaneous to the human eye, ensuring you are protected before the flash can damage your vision.

Q: Is the battery replaceable, or do I have to throw the helmet away when it dies?

A: The battery is fully replaceable, ensuring a long service life for the helmet. It uses a standard lithium button cell (CR2450 or CR2032 depending on batch—please check the battery tray upon arrival).

Q: Does it charge via Solar Power?

A: Yes. The front-mounted solar panel assists the battery during welding by capturing energy from the arc. This significantly extends the battery life, though the replaceable battery is required to initially power the electronics.

Q: How do I switch between Welding and Grinding?

A: This helmet features a Grind Mode (Shade 3.5). You can switch to this mode to lock the lens in a light state, allowing you to use an angle grinder or inspect your work without taking the hood off. Remember to switch back to Weld Mode (Shade 9-13) before striking an arc!

Q: The lens is flickering or not darkening. What should I do?

A:
Check Sensitivity: If welding outdoors or at low amps, increase the "Sensitivity" knob.
Check Sensors: Ensure the 2 sensors on the front are clean and not blocked by your hand or a pipe.
Check Mode: Make sure you didn't leave the helmet in "Grind" mode.
Test Battery: If the low battery light is on (if equipped) or reaction is slow, replace the coin-cell battery.
