I have one of these helmets, bought from the Welders Warehouse a good while ago....it was highly rated at the time and it seems to be still available today for around the £80 mark.
Its not used very often, sometimes months before its brought out to work.
The trouble is, even on setting 9 its still too dark to see the weld run so its dead easy to go off course. I'm using MIG, maybe in the 90 amp range on average and will have perhaps two weeks work ahead.
I know these things have internal batteries and wondered if these play any part in the darkening level? The switching from light to dark as the arc is struck is still instantaneous.
Any comments, anyone?
