My first Auto Darkening lense

This is my first auto darkening lense I got for my sugar scoop welding hood. Super crisp and clear. I love the blue coloring it gives looking through. Plan on buying the others to see the difference.

Frequently Asked Questions 

supportCategory

There are sensors in auto-darkening lenses that can see the bright flash of a welding arc. When the sensors go off, the lens changes from a clear, bright state to a dark, protective shade in less than a second. This rapid change keeps your eyes safe from UV and infrared light that can be harmful when welding.

With an adjustable shade lens, you can select the ideal shade level for various welding jobs and amperage settings. This means that you can use one lens for a range of applications, from plasma cutting (lower shades) to high-amperage flux-core welding (higher shades). This will give you the best visibility and protection for every work.

There are a few things that could cause this. A dead battery or a sensor that’s blocked by something within the helmet are the most typical problems. First, check the batteries. Then, make sure the sensors on the front of the lens are clean and can see the welding arc well.

The shade number you need depends on the type of welding you’re doing and the amount of amperage you’re using. Generally, a higher amperage requires a darker shade. For instance, a shade 9 or 10 could be adequate for MIG welding with low amperage, whereas a shade 12 or 13 might be needed for heavy-duty Stick welding.

You may press a "test" button on most auto-darkening lenses, like The Duke, to make sure they are operating correctly. You can quickly test your lens by striking an arc on a scrap piece of metal if it doesn't have a test button. Before starting a new project, ensure your eyes are protected by checking your lenses.
