I finally bought one of these 3 or 4 months ago.

It's about 3/16" thick, so will fit in pretty much any helmet....

Arc color is an amber shade, and is really a good shade for seeing.

I've used it for mig (hard wire), stick (6010/7018 etc) duelshield, and aluminum mig.
Has never flashed me.
I've been welding in a lot of tight, poor visibility places, and it has stayed consistent.
Highly recommend.

I know, I've been a long time defender of fixed shade lens, but really, it's the 21st century.
Some jobs are just plain and simple easier with AD....

Vertical up gal pipe to wood joint. You boys are talented up in AK.

John,

That's a good price to have 5 stars across 70 reviews!

I'll have to dig for a 4 1/2 X 5 version. Hell, I might change centuries at a price-point like that.

You know what I'm doing right there, right?

Here's the thread. http://forum.weldingtipsandtricks.com/v ... f=9&t=7404

Sorry, it was a poor attempt at humour. It failed.

I knew it was humor. And I got a chuckle out of it.
I just wasn't sure if you had seen the thread and knew the purpose of that pipe and wood.

Tapatalk messed up the pictures when you first posted, so I never did see that the first time. Thanks for the link.

Hi Guys

So... I got the Arc One AD lens that goes to a shade 11

http://www.amazon.com/ArcOne-S240-11-2- ... op?ie=UTF8

This one lens was $110. I bought it to use in my pipeliner hood.
First things that I found was that when I try to use it with TIG.. it flashed you good.
Ok, I am going to cut it some slack because TIG welding on the lighter materials uses so little current the sensor would have a hard time sensing the arc

Tried it with MIG
Getting flashed on every time that I start the arc as well. Tried this with the MIG machine set up for 1/8" materials

Hummmmmm

Yet I see that the closest relative ( which costs 1/2 of the price of the shade 11 unit ) seems to get consistent 5 star reviews

Has anyone else had this experience?

I bought the second one you have there for $55.

I Love it. Can't comment on the higher priced one, but I would hope it would be better. I guess not.

[Otto Nobedder]

Perhaps, Adam, you received a defective one?

I'd think, if you're dissatisfied with it, I'd contact the company and arrange an exchange. It's not a bad product until two of them are bad....

Well I got my lens that goes to shade 10.5 in the mail today

I charged it up in the summer sunshine this afternoon

I'll give it a run this weekend , and if it's night and day better than the edition that darkens to 11 I'll call the company and ask for an exchange or check-out return shipping authorization

Side note

Does anyone here use the shade 10.5 with a slightly darker lease on the inside of the hood like a shade 1?

I knew a guy who used a shade 9 fixed lens, and when he wanted darker he'd where dark safety glasses with it. These can be found as dark as equivalent to shade 3 (though I've never seen them labeled that way) for about shade 12 welding.

[Adam Mc Laughlin]

The welding inspector at my work wears a shade 9 by itself for his full time arc watching

That always spooked me about messing up my eyes for good
