Hi Some facts you should know before buying an electronic helmet: List of 5 items . Our helmets switch up to 80 times faster than the required standards. Remember that the welding arc is not instantaneous. It starts off as a small spark and builds into the dangerous arc. Our lens will darken long before that dangerous point. . About switching time: How far does your helmet go? Some companies measure how fast their helmet changes from shade 4 to 8 and then tell you their helmet changes in 1/25,000th of a second. That's like a dragster stopping at half track and saying you made a 3 second run! Our helmets darken in 5/10,000th of a second or faster, but remember, we tell you how fast our helmet changes from shade 4 to 13 (or the darkest shade). That means our helmets may at first appear slower but our helmets make it to the finish line! . Does speed really matter? Since you are always protected from UV/IR rays equivalent to a shade 16, even when the lens is light, switching speed doesn't mean much. In reality, your eyes don't even perceive the difference between 1/5,000th and 1/25,000 of a second. . Do faster speeds compromise protection and quality? Faster helmets may choose switching time over better infrared protection. We think that's a dangerous compromise to make just to make a sale. Faster speeds may also mean a lower optical quality. If you can't see your work clearly, it doesn't matter how fast it darkens. . Our helmets provide as much as 1563% more protection against harmful UV/Infrared radiation than other brands. Infrared light is invisible and can be very dangerous. In time, unprotected exposure to it can cause cataracts and blindness. With our lens over your eyes, you are protected from infrared at all times, even when the lens is light because the UV/Infrared filter is permanent. It is the purple color you see on the outside of the lens. Ultraviolet light is what causes "flash burn" of the cornea and "welder's sunburn" like you get on your neck. With our UV/IR filters you are always protected from UV/IR rays to a shade 16 whether the lens is light or dark. That is more protection than most lenses you'll ever use, plus you get the bonus of seeing the visible portion of the light spectrum as light as a shade 9 or as dark as 13.
