Lincoln ElectricViking 2X4 C-Series Auto-Darkening Welding Lens Shade 10 KP3778-1

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.

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.

Purchased back in Sept stopped working while welding. Clean and no visual cracks or scratches.Contacted Lincoln electric about the issue it fell under the 2 year warranty and sent out me a new one in 3 days.

So far so good

I like that it has a pretty low tint when not on. It helps you see the setup before striking an arc. It also doesn't take batteries and it seems to stay charged even though I store it in a dark cabinet. Coming from a $300 10 year old Optrel, this thing looks just as good. The plus side is when the lens does go bad, you can keep your helmet and just replace the lens. It can also be used in a pancake helmet or any other 2x4.25 standard size. The color is pretty clear (no tint to it) when welding. So far, so good.
