Haha , I have the Lincoln 3350 and it's heavy not to clear either, if you want even more clarity check out the optrel crystal 2.0 , it's light weight and it's like looking on a window before you weld .
Just had my Lincoln for 2 weeks now and love it. Head gear is very comfortable and the view is amazing. I love the analog controls for the helmet over the digital controls shown for the Miller, much faster to adjust IMO. Be sure you read the instructions on the Lincoln before you use it. Like on the grind button, one has to hold it down for 3 sec to engage it, and another 3 second to disengage it. It flashes a small green light inside the helmet when its effective.
The Lincoln 3350 4C is 21oz and the T94 is 21.1oz. basically the same weight. The Lincoln DOES have grind mode as well, just not on the outside. Great video! Thanks for taking the time to share with us!
Speaking on the Eyes-scream... You may want to consider using a light meter to test the difference between the light hitting your eyes (the meter for the test), without the cheater lens, then measure the difference with the cheater lens, to find out how much more light is being MAGNIFIED into your eyes, causing the fatigue, and make sure you are adjusting your helmet settings accordingly to protect your eyes. Thank you again for making the video, stay blessed, and stay safe~
Thanks for a great video. I'm welding down in the Sonoran Desert where your beer gets warm really fast and the steel stays hot for a long time after welding/grinding. I think I'll go with the Miller. My Viking 2450 battery just went down and the new cassette is the same price as a helmet. Miller is probably just as bad about parts but I'm mad at Lincoln right now
Side by side comparison from the welders point of view!!! 👍 Its the next best thing to using it youeself. Sold on the t94, thanks for the through review.
lol that indeed is a cold shop. On the bright side, you can let a can of beer sit out and after welding, quench your thirst with a cold one, no refrigerator necessary :) Thanks for uploading this, I might check out some Miller units (although the Viking one was mentioned by another person in the comments, guess I'll check that one out too).
brian.dudek Yes, it's important for me. Thus far the Miller Truesite lens is the only one that does not give me eye fatigue. I also have a $300 Philips Safety passive lens (supposedly one off the best) and I get eye fatigue with it. I think the 3350 is letting in some light my eyes don't like . I can feel it after 5 seconds when lit-up on aluminum. It is probably just me. Hope this helps. Cheers!
Good to know between the two, my eyes tire easily, not to hard living CO over 5k feet. I've been leaning toward the 3350 because it has a faster auto darkening reaction time (1/25,000), best I've found on any hood.
brian.dudek That's exactly what I thought. With the 3350 I even started to shut my eyes just before starting the arc. That didn't help. It turned out to not be the reaction time. It's what passes through that lens. The 3350 is letting in a wavelength of light that my eyes just can't take. I think it's at the edge of clarity and eye comfort. Besides the lenses are so pose to block UV and IR in the light state no matter. Hence reaction time is not as important as people make it out to be.
Hi Arthur - I am wondering if there has been any change in your opinion after 4 years of posting this review? Is there another helmet now that you would recommend?
kurse333 Send one over. I will be happy to make a review :-)). So far the T94 is best I have tested. That said, I will look out for that Lincoln 3250D.
Jonathan Garzon Miller clearlight lens is really clear. You can also see more colour with the clearlight. I don’t see a difference in clarity between the two. Something about that Lincoln lens bothers my eyes. Maybe it’s the more blue hue. Hope that helps.
brxtmp106 Yes it does have room for a respirator. The chin is just perfect in my opinion. It blocks all light without being to long. So far so good, still my favourite by far. Cheers!
scoobytyper98 Not yet but I heard good things about them. I am not sure if my glasses would fit in their new on the nose style lens. I will check one out if I get a chance. So far this Miller T94 is the best I have ever used.
Zondar Lawag It varies depending on where you live. In Canada the T94 is about CDN $600. Pricy but I still have not found a better lens than the clearlight. I think you can now get that lens in other Miller helmets. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Jeff S. I didn't have a chance to try the Jackson BH3 yet. I have read that the lens is on par with the Viking 4c. Miller is the late comer to the true colour lens technology with their truesight lens. I find that the view through the true sight lenses is indiscernible between brands. For me It comes down to how long can I weld and not get eye fatigue. I will get eye fatigue on a sunny day with a snow cover. So far with the Viking I would say 2 min steady welding and I am done. With the Miller maybe 10 min. (Than a day or so to recover) That said, even 2 min steady welding is like 5 feet of weld. Hence for hobby guy that is more than enough even with sensitive eyes like mine. For a professional I would go wit the Truesight lens hands down. I wonder myself how long I would be able to weld with the Jackson. If I get my hands on one I will make a video. Cheers!
I have a Jackson truesight 2 Lincoln 3350 4C lens and a Miller Infinity the Jackson is right up there with the Miller Infinity and the Lincoln all excellent hoods
You need to double check the facts, "Truesight" is a Jackson proprietary product. Your posts are confusing when you get Miller and Jackson mixed up, diminishes your credibility mate.
My opinion has been is that speedglass is far superior and that's why everyone is going to try to copy them now!! I will admit speedglass is more expensive but is worth every penny!! I still have my first speedglass I purchased in 1999 and it works like it did when it was new and I still use it when I dont want to possibly damage one of my newer speedglass helmets for a nasty job!!
Mark Zalot I have the 3350 for over a year now and had no need to change the battery yet. Hence, sorry I am not sure about the type of the battery. I think it charges as one welds. Cheers!
Khaled Welding It's also possible... I now blink every time I start an ark. I think it has to do with the blue wavelength of the 3350. The miller is a bit more green. As green light is more visible to our eyes I can set a darker shade and still see what I am doing.
Millers t94 has very poor neck protection and the headgear is cheap! I would buy the 3350 any day of the week! And Lincolns 4c is much clearer then miller clearlight !
lucas brideau, I still prefer the Miller. I get eye fatigue when welding with the 3350. The greenish lens hue of the Miller our eyes naturally see better. Hence I can weld at a darker setting. Say 12 instead 11 and still see the paddle. The shorter neck design is so it doesn’t hit you in the neck when it comes down. I guess we all have our preferences :-)).
*The large viewing area is very nice⛑️ **allabout.wiki/Grinding** I have an older Miller helmet, also, that has a large viewing area. This new helmet has an even larger viewing area, is more transparent in grinding mode, and is much less expensive. Since I have not used it extensively, I can't comment on its reliability.*
I use a Lincoln 3350. I weld 8-10 hours a day. Bang for the buck, the Lincoln can’t be beat. The colors and clarity of the lens are amazing.
Agree

Watch the headgear, mine likes to rip my hair off everytime I take the hood off.

My Lincoln has a grind mode button on the outside. Maybe it was a change over the years.

Yes, it must be the magnification. Nonetheless for some reason I can weld longer with the miller. Cheers!

Just got a T94i last night, thank you for the comparison review.
BTW, I want some of that dark ice cream lol
The Lincoln absolutely has a grind mode.
Jeff S.
What I meant is that it did not have the external grind button. Sorry for the confusion.
I like your comments on eye fatigue, interesting, thanks.
brian.dudek

Truesight is a Jackson product? Miller Elite maybe?

I’d like to see you put these three against each other. Miller t94, Lincoln 3250Dfgs, and the esab sentinel.
Great review of 2 awesome helmets. Great job!
Thank you. I am glad you liked it :-))
Good info. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Arthur - I am wondering if there has been any change in your opinion after 4 years of posting this review? Is there another helmet now that you would recommend?
The lincoln has an external grind button
It may be so with the new versions. The one I had had a button on the inside. Cheers!
I’d go with the Optrel, I’ve found the Miller helmets headgear uncomfortable. The Lincoln 3350s I’ve had don’t last long, 2 or three years maybe.
very good comparison.
Good review thanks for posting👍🏼
I just ordered my Miller. Mine has the flip front.
You mean the T94I?
Lincoln Viking 3250D fgs is more of the equivalent to the Miller t94. They’re both $300. This Viking 3350 is $220
The Lincoln is now about $367 on Amazon. Welding stuff has gone way up recently.
This isn't really a straight comparison... Lincoln has their answer to the T94 called the Viking 3250D FGS... when can we get that video?
kurse333
Send one over. I will be happy to make a review :-)). So far the T94 is best I have tested. That said, I will look out for that Lincoln 3250D.
I'm still waiting on the 3250 D F G S Hahaha
Miller is a more traditional green tint where the Lincoln is a sharper blue tint. (to my eye anyway).
The Lincoln is clearer, the Miller has more features. I'm so torn, I wish I could have the Lincoln lens on the Miller 49ti
Jonathan Garzon
Miller clearlight lens is really clear. You can also see more colour with the clearlight. I don’t see a difference in clarity between the two. Something about that Lincoln lens bothers my eyes. Maybe it’s the more blue hue. Hope that helps.
Actually the NEW Lincoln's have the exterior grind
I just got the new 3350 and it has the grind button on the outside lol
It may be so with the new versions. The one I had had a button on the inside. Cheers!
So far I still think I'll keep to my pipeliner shield
Good review
thanks for the info
You bet!
Does the T94 have room for a respirator? I wondered about the chin/lower face area...
brxtmp106
Yes it does have room for a respirator. The chin is just perfect in my opinion. It blocks all light without being to long. So far so good, still my favourite by far. Cheers!
have you tried any optrel helmets i have a e684 they are excellent helmets
scoobytyper98
Not yet but I heard good things about them. I am not sure if my glasses would fit in their new on the nose style lens. I will check one out if I get a chance. So far this Miller T94 is the best I have ever used.
Спасибо за обзор!
I own both. I'm prefer the miller T94 welding view but the Lincoln 3350 fits more comfortable.
yo lo I can’t get my t94 to come down. It’s brand new and it’s like stuck on the right side. How do I fix this?
@@SquishyyyBeaner z cgtci xchvvg c can
How much for price of miller welding mask?
Zondar Lawag
It varies depending on where you live. In Canada the T94 is about CDN $600. Pricy but I still have not found a better lens than the clearlight. I think you can now get that lens in other Miller helmets. Thanks for watching! Cheers!
Any thoughts on the. Jackson Truesight ll?

Miller obviously just tried to make a copy of the Speedglass 9100xxi helmets with the side windows and everything
yep and Lincolns Viking 3250D FGS looks even closer to Speedglass 9100xxi
My opinion has been is that speedglass is far superior and that's why everyone is going to try to copy them now!! I will admit speedglass is more expensive but is worth every penny!! I still have my first speedglass I purchased in 1999 and it works like it did when it was new and I still use it when I dont want to possibly damage one of my newer speedglass helmets for a nasty job!!
Do you know what kind of battery the Lincoin 3350 4c runs on, and how long it lasts??
Mark Zalot
I have the 3350 for over a year now and had no need to change the battery yet. Hence, sorry I am not sure about the type of the battery. I think it charges as one welds. Cheers!
I want ice cream lol
Awesome review!
Lalofelix73
You watched till the end :-)). I am glad you liked it.
Lincoln is for me, digital isn't for me
Lincoln smasher Miller
Miller tutta la vita
maybe the switching time gives you a fatigue 🤔
Khaled Welding
It's also possible... I now blink every time I start an ark. I think it has to do with the blue wavelength of the 3350. The miller is a bit more green. As green light is more visible to our eyes I can set a darker shade and still see what I am doing.
Khaled Welding
wide viewing angle helmet
I have the t94 and mine isnt blue like that. Its yellowish green. Wth.
He has more light on the Miller on the test together 🤣 nice try
Millers t94 has very poor neck protection and the headgear is cheap! I would buy the 3350 any day of the week! And Lincolns 4c is much clearer then miller clearlight !

I'm not gonna say Miller trash because it's not and have good features but the headgear is mid and Lincoln is much clearer 🤷🏿♂️
Lincoln better
