Auto-Darkening Welding Helmets
Protect your eyes the moment you start welding—four sensors detect the light and automatically darken the lens. Unlike traditional green welding lenses, these helmets use a true color lens to enhance clarity and color accuracy. They allow for a better look at your weld pool to increase weld quality and reduce eye strain. To customize the helmet’s fit so you can focus on welding, these helmets have a ratchet adjustment with an easy-turn knob. Solar cells recharge the helmet’s battery while you work.
Nylon plastic helmets offer a wider range of shade numbers and better optical clarity than polycarbonate helmets. They use digital controls to adjust settings such as shade number, light sensitivity, and mode selection.
Optical clarity measures how clearly a welder can see through the lens based on four categories: visual accuracy, light diffusion, consistency, and distortion. Each category is given a rating on a scale of 1 to 3. The lower the number, the better the clarity. Better optical clarity allows for precise welds, reduces eye strain, and improves focus.

Precise-Shade Auto-Darkening Welding Helmets
Take full control of your shade level with these helmets—you can set the lens to adjust in half-shade increments. They have digital controls behind the lens where you can set the shade number, delay time, and sensitivity. Save up to nine settings to quickly switch between tasks. To switch to grind mode without removing your helmet, press the button above the lens.
As you weld, four sensors detect the light and automatically darken the lens. To improve weld quality and reduce eye strain, these helmets have a wide panoramic view and a true color lens. The lens enhances clarity and color accuracy to reduce the color distortion of your view.
Solar cells recharge the helmet’s battery while you work.
Mount these helmets to a hard-hat adapter when working in areas that require extra head protection. Attach a magnifying lens to enhance details.

Filter Lenses for Welding Helmets and Goggles
Replace the filter lens on your welding helmet or goggles. These lenses reduce glare and filter out harmful infrared radiation. They are available in shade numbers 4 through 14.
Use green lenses for welding applications. They increase visual contrast so you can see the weld pool without making the environment too dark.
Use cobalt blue lenses for metalworking applications such as torching and brazing. They enhance visibility by filtering out intense light produced during metalworking. Do not use for welding applications.
