 ✖  |

The light of the arc powers the solar cells that power the back-up lithium batteries. The lens differentiates between natural sunlight and the arc so you can still weld in bright sunlight.
The helmet has controls that let you ad-just darkness of lens for different light sensitivity of users. Blocks ultra violet and infra red light. Fully adjustable to fit any size head. Can be fitted with Racal filters and air cleaning attachments. Price ranges from about $275 for the basic helmet up to $1,000 when fitted with air cleaning filters. It's available through Racal's U.S. distributor.
