Santa brought me a new welding helmet for xmas to replace my old ebay cheapie which has started flashing me recently.
Apparently Santa got it from Inverter Fusion directly, as they had an offer on:
https://www.inverterfusion.co.uk/WH9801-Welding-Helmet-Black-p/if123007.htm
Here it is to the right of the old one. The viewing screen is almost twice the size and the off shade seems a bit lighter with a more yellow-green tinge compared to the old one's green.
The headgear is better than the old one and stays where it's put, also responding properly to a nod to drop it down which the old one never did. It would just fall down and stop when it hit my chest. Ive not used it much, but so far so good and no flashes yet. The larger viewing area is nice, but doesn't actually make that much difference as you tend to look through the bottom half of it anyway. Overall I'm pleased with it, but I've never used an expensive lid, so don't know how it compares. I think it was a bargain for £54 and a step up from the ebay cheapie.
