Welding when you’re not 40 anymore…

I need those lights. Try learning tig…it’s even harder when you can’t see.

At home during the day, I have radiant or direct sunlight to help. After sundown and indoors, I'm always at a disadvantage.

That's a nice little grill you made

Thank you! I don't know if I'll ever cook with it but I could do 4 small burgers or several hot dogs at a time.

That's always been my problem, vision, I have a vision problem even with a good self darkening helmet.

I've noticed that even with the auto-darkening, my eyes have to adjust to the light conditions...before, during the weld and after. Low light makes it really difficult.
You can get these lamps on Amazon for around $20. They really are bright enough to work in the dark.
Rechargeable batteries are great for something like this. You could make brackets to hold a standard flashlight to the helmet, some are lightweight so you may not even notice the added weight.
