Auto-darkening filters are UV and IR opaque. The only thing that darkens is the visible spectrum light. Electronic filters actuate in less than a millisecond. So, electronic welding helmets are safer than flip downs. You'll never flash yourself with an auto-darkening helmet.

    If the battery was dead on the visor, would adding sunglasses along with the helmet work to block all 3?

    Him: “does that make sense”
    Me: “absolutely not”

    Was expecting a tear it apart, is it just a LCD screen behind passive UV and IR protection, a brain box and solar panels?

    Go test Hella fog light colored safety glares if they do anything for IR. How about noise shielding headphones?

    I'm not going to read 1000 comments but your shield responds to Face ID on your phone. Free pro tip. It will auto darken

    This is an old vid by the time I got here. Was just at the “buy once, cry once” “you’ll want to get the cheapest pos you can get your dick beaters around.”

    Then the vid stops for a Horrible Fart commercial.

    W@eeelllll, my decade-ago $29 electronic self darkener turned instantly black, then took sooo loong to brighten back up to 11 that my eyes got lost in the dark. Pupils dilated, focus went to infinity, binocular/stereoscopic vision shut off. Once the screen allowed the 11 through it took a half second for the eyes to align and focus. Meantime I had no idea where my shakey hands had moved the spark to. Recent purchase of a $59 helmet made me the weldor I thought I was 10 years ago when neck discs had precluded the old snap-it-shut helmet.
