    yah, according to my teacher, if you were to see directly to an arc 20 feet away for about 10 seconds you would get a flash.

    Also to add to this, the light will burn your skin after about 5 minutes of exposure. It’ll give you a hell of a sunburn. Same thing happens to your eyes. Known as flashes. It can blister your skin. But your eyes a bit more sensitive. It doesn’t take long to get a flash to the eyes, and its very painful depending on the degree. Burning 1 rod is all you have to burn to get a severe flash. Depending on how close you are to the weld too. Its radiation. The further away you are, the less of a chance
