While some people still stick to using standard welding helmets, auto darkening welding helmets are now gaining more popularity in the market. Helmets with auto dark lens could decrease the penetration of light whenever it is energized so that the lens appears dark in the center but light towards the outer areas. It also gives lighter, clearer views in angles that are not perpendicular to the surface of the filter. It’s really easier and more comfortable to work with helmets that have auto dark lens. They normally come with filters too that protect the eyes from ultraviolet or infrared rays.

Since this type of welding helmets darken and lighten up automatically, those who use it do not need to take it off as they work. There is no need to adjust the shade since it’s quite automatic. It generally costs more than the standard helmets though. The price of auto darkening welding helmets normally range from a hundred dollars to five hundred dollars, with more expensive ones offering more features or being made of more pricey, durable and flexible materials.

Among the popular brands that offer helmets with auto darkening features are Jackson, Miller, Hobart and Northern Tool. For instance, Jackson Safety Hellraiser welding helmet with Nexgen Filter is getting quite popular with its good features and exquisite design as it costs less than 0. Meanwhile, Miller actually sells auto-darkening lens with a fixed 2×4 shade which you can get for less than a hundred dollars. For high heat welding activities, Miller’s Titanium Elite series is also gaining popularity among hobbyists and professional welders alike.
