Lincoln ElectricAuto-Darkening Welding Lens + Sellstrom Welding Helmet Flip Front Adaptor

Haven’t had any battery issues after a few months of use. Still clear as the day I first used it. Fit perfectly in my “finer pipelines cloud chopped hood” (no flip up). It is a little pricey, but it has a great warranty and holds true to the Lincoln name. It gets thrown around in my truck and hasn’t chipped or cracked. Also, everyone asks how it adjusts to tig. I have the shade 10 and haven’t had any flash.

Seeing through it is spectacular. I just don't understand why it doesn't recharge it self when using. I had to change the batteries the day I opened it up. That's why it's a 3 star review. Over-all you see everything when your welding. Update 6 months after use It got a Crack in the screen and in 24 hours Lincoln sent me a brand new lens so now they are getting a 5 star review and the lens works great. I still wish it didn't need batteries.

Clarity, color, being able to see walls on the root and cap melt down is so much easier with this lens compared to an arc one or similar lenses. Very expensive compared to what they used to charge though.

Awesome lens from an amazing company. This allowed me to see what I was doing so much more clearly that it significantly and rapidly improved my ability to learn how to weld in school. I put the hood facing out toward the rear of my car, resting on the back seat headrest so that it’s always getting some sun and I’ve had no battery issues using it for about 10 hours a day, 4-5 days a week. Battery replacements are super cheap if you ever do need to replace it and best of all Lincoln stands by their word for the warranty of 2 years!My 2nd Viking lens had a small defect in the top left of the lens, I emailed Lincoln customer service and 3 days later I get a new one in the mail. Hot damn that’s some stellar service and I will keep buying these for every hood I own.Update: 4 months of solid, near daily use later and still no issues with my Lincoln 4c with original batteries. Does Tig, Mig, and Stick all flawlessly.Side note: you can easily file or cut down any flip up lens adapter to accommodate this lens just make sure you sandwich it in between two clear poly plates back and front to protect it while grinding.

It works pretty good, hasn't flashed me too many times, and the lens is very clear.I work with high amperage MIG (1/16'' metal core spray transfer, ~340a) and I have to use shade 13, it's more like a 11.5 on my Miller T94i PAPR. If I use it at shade 12 (what I usually use on every other hood) I get a spot in my vision.The shade level around the edges of the lens also tapers off. There's a oval plunked in the box of the lens where it's shaded to the level you have it at, but in the corners and along the sides it'll be a shade 9 or 10. Kind of annoying, especially if you're having to use the edges of your lens to see what you're doing.

Do not buy! It’s a garbage!After about three month, the low battery light came on with the new batteries. And couple month later, it stopped working altogether no matter what I do, cleaning sensors, new batteries etc. and I kept getting arc flashes that bothered me a lot. I will throw this in the garbage and will never buy lincoln products again.I’ll give one star due to it’s great color. But too expensive for only 6 month use.

When I asked my instructor what he recommended, he said the Lincoln 4C. I can't believe I waited so long to switch to this lens. It has an amazingly clear view of the puddle and the automatic darkening is better than perfect. Great price on Amazon, fits my pipeliner perfectly, performs better than expected and looks amazing!

I have had these. Mine dropped from 40’ and didn’t make it. It’s just a replacement that was $30 more than the last one.

Exelente producto lo recomiendo lo he usado y me parece un producto que cumple con lo que ofrece

Some of these are hit and miss. I am on my 3rd one. The first 2 started flashing me after a few months. But the 3rd one has been working perfectly for the past 2 years.

Tuve que realizar un marco para que no quede floja en el porta vidrio pero todo bien

Awesome lens
