@2:20 I think you confused the Grind setting with the Shade setting. The Grind setting disables the autodarkening so the helmet can be used as a safety shield when grinding metal.
I would probably go with solar for that. Simply so you don’t have to change out a battery all the time. Keep in mind the ‘solar’ helmets aren’t necessarily solar, they just use photovoltaic cells to turn the lens darker when welding, and no sunlight is needed.
Thanks! So question....the solar panel...does it need to be stored in an area to get sun or can it be stored in a dark place but the arc from welding charges it? I never even thought about that..
That’s a great question! No, it does not need to be stored in the sun. It simply uses the light from the arc to power the shutter. Thank you for watching!
If you use the helmet after a long time, in the mean time if battery get the battery gets exhausted, needs to be kept in sunlight, before welding first time on the day
What powers the LCD viewer was confusing for some users, including me. What I've learned is that the solar cells get charged by the light from the welder flash and use that power to darken the viewing lens. But what about the time it takes to charge the solar cells ?(fraction of a second), From what I've read, the batteries get triggered by the light sensors first, to immediately darken the lens (to protect your eyes), then, when the solar cells receive enough light from the welder flash, the solar cells take over and supply the power for the viewer. Think about it, why would we need batteries, if the solar cells were supplying all of the power to darken the lens ?
Nice, except how many milliseconds does the flash enter the eyes until the solid state electronics darken? Wouldn't even a quarter millisecond damage the eyes? Yes, the last time I welded something, was just stick and the "eclipse lens" 😂
That’s a great question. I don’t know the answer honestly. All I could tell you is it’s super fast, it’s almost instantaneous. Enough so that it’s not damaging to the eyes.
Pretty pointless video unless you are 6 year old starting to weld , It would be good Knowledge to know that your eyes are protected by liquid crystals that bend the light. You can control the amount of light and several other features depending on the type of lens you have even without the auto darkening feature turned on your eyes are protected with a layer of infrared/ultraviolet filter . Also layers of metallic and several other layers of technology that deletes harm to your eyes. Kind of a let down to the great minds of this invention with this explanation ..Calculator lines really?
Thank you for your constructive criticism! I appreciate it that you took time to comment and help me improve my videos. and yes, this is for basic beginners. It sounds like you are an advanced welder, so this video is targeted to you. but thank you for watching and for the comment.
Thank you for announcing your preference, we appreciate your view. Some people want to see the entire video and that’s OK either way. I appreciate you being so kind about it.

And now I know how they work!
It always puzzled me...
Thank you!
Your welcome!!
Great video dude!
Thanks!
PLEASE lose the music its terrible and extremely distracting
Dude show the dials and what number to set them on...Im a biggener
What about the battery that you mentioned?
Question what is best for 8hrs long daily welding without sunlight? Battery or solar?

@@LaceyFamilyFarm Ah! Great! Thanks for the reply! Seems that's the way to go. Why would anyone choose battery powered over the solar power?
If you use the helmet after a long time, in the mean time if battery get the battery gets exhausted, needs to be kept in sunlight, before welding first time on the day
@@LaceyFamilyFarm so that solar radiation power from the welding rod is fast enough to dim the helmet faster then you look at weld?

What’s the background music?
well explained thank you
Very good info,thank you.

I would hope so. I guess I would've heard about it if they were dangerous, though.
Are the lenses on the type of helmet you have changeable? I need to change mine?
Unfortunately the ones on mine are not, but I believe you can get some that do have interchangeable lenses.
Very informative but loud music in the background is super annoying
Thanks for the feedback. And yes, I have adjusted further videos.
Why the music in the background

we dont need the first half obvious statements
Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate the constructive criticism! Have a wonderful day
@@LaceyFamilyFarm you have a great day too!
Good video, but try to record your audio in a smaller room with less echo ;)
Thanks for the feedback! Yea, we had some audio issues and have improved on it since then. Thank you though!
I had mine in the sun. Thought it might need a charge. My wife watered it with the grass... It no workie no more. 😞
Hm.
Just found your channel. We just started our family farm and we have videos of it. Come check it out.
I was just looking at it! How much fun is that! Thanks!
Lacey Family Farm that is pretty neat.

Used the old style. For 40 years
