Here's something that might help others out with their welding.
I've got a Parweld XR935H auto darkening welding helmet that I've had trouble seeing out of and recently it's also been going dark when I'm close up to a light source (not an arc). I'm learning tig so seeing what's going on is really important!
I've done a couple of mods to it that seem to work well so here's whet I've done.
Firstly I've put a strip of black insulation tape across the top of the screen just over the solar panel part. This seems to help stop it darkening without reason.
Secondly I've made a cover for the top of the helmet as its quite open and with my baldy lack of hair lets in a lot of light that,
A. reflects off the inside of the screen making things harder to see.
B. was letting light into the back of the sensors that also contributed to the screen going dark on me.
It now seems to work much better and I can see much more clearly.
Hope this helps if you're having trouble seeing things.
