ArcOne S240-10 Horizontal Single Auto-Darkening Filter for Welding, 2 x 4, Shade 10

I’m not a professional welder! I’m a diy guy that just likes to do everything himself. I got this and installed it in my new carbon fiber CMR pancake helmet. I cut my teeth using a regular flip down hood. But The glare you get from behind you on the lens sucks. Makes it tough to start a bead at times. So I switched to a pancake style and it’s a huge difference. It’s like I’m welding now in high definition!!! I left this auto-lens out in the sun for 4hrs or so prior to installing it. Just wanted to give it a good charge. Once installed I set up my mig machine and started laying down a bead. This lens quickly goes dark as soon as an arc is striked. And takes abt one second to go back to clear after the arc is gone. I tried leaving my pancake helmet on while I was grinding, but it kept going from dark to light. Reminds me of someone flipping a light switch on and off. The sparks were setting off the auto shade. Anyways I like this auto shade much better than my traditional shaded hood. I’ll never go back!

Had for over a year now still works great and very sharp and clear!

Quality style and fit excellent

Let me first say that I have a Speedglas 9100xx, an ArcOne Tradesman, used to have a Jackson TrueSight, have nearly 20 vintage welding filter plates, and nearly every conceivable glass gold filter in the welding industry and with that said I have to say the optics of this lens is super sharp and the color is great second only to my Speedglas. I love this little lens it's super high quality. I contacted Arcone because my lens was an amber color and i wanted geeen and they told me they have no control over it some batches are green some are amber. Im loving the amber now and im so happy with it its SUPER easy to read the puddle. This is a perfect shade 10 to, not annoyingly bright but bright enough to see the joint line and the weld tie in. I had an ArcOne tradesman 10.5 shade it was amber too but it was too dark this is way better. What a great filter, coming from a guy who has seen it all, I'm very impressed. What are you waiting for buy one!

Best lens for the price , I had a true arc v pro before this lens because I bought another hood but arc one singles is better in my opinion I can see everything literally

Just what my husband wanted

Best lense by far for auto darkening I’m a travel welder and when I’m not using my fixed shade this is what I go to tig or stick it does them both no needing so swap lenses, super clear and a true view

The lense works great. I managed to scrue it up the first time I used it tho. Grinding grit ate up the side I didn't put clear lense in. Still works as it should tho. Very clear. Never got flashed. Not one time. Great product
