My aching eyeballs after practicing FCAW.

Is this a solar powered helmet? Did u charge it? Did u turn it on? Kim

Solar / battery. I've set the adjustments to where the lens goes dark when I point the helmet to the neon ceiling light.

I've been researching helmets and am seeing highly rated ones below $100 for weekend hobbyists and over $230 for more serious models. The same seams true when considering optical clarity.

The education continues!
