That&amp;#039;s where this welding helmet comes into play. It&amp;#039;s known as an auto-darkening type, which means its lens darkens automatically when it senses the light from a welding arc.  Twist the helmet&amp;#039;s exterior knob to change its shade setting, making it as dark or as light as required depending on the brightness of the welding process. There&amp;#039;s also a grind setting that allows the welder to keep the helmet in place so it can act as an auto-darkening face shield, allowing you to move seamlessly from grinding to welding and back again. The knob makes an audible click when you move it to the grind setting, so you know for sure that it&amp;#039;s ready. This Viking helmet also provides settings for the amount of time that the lens stays dark (delay) and its sensitivity to indirect light sources, such as nearby workers who are grinding, cutting, or welding. Gaudy color scheme aside, this is an industrial-grade product with a rugged and comfortable sweatband, and it&amp;#039;s adjustable to suit your head size whether you&amp;#039;re wearing a welding cap or beanie.  I&amp;#039;ve done welding for years with a traditional helmet and find there&amp;#039;s no comparison to the comfort and productivity that newer, auto-darkening helmets provide. A traditional helmet is sometimes too dark and other times not dark enough. Plus, you have to lift the whole helmet or raise its flip-up lens when you stop welding. Compared to how streamlined the Viking makes the welding process, a traditional helmet feels clumsy and less protective. Use this Lincoln Electric helmet just once and you&amp;#039;ll never go back.
