Heh! I learned to flip the helmet down, use a standard large lens helmet, and get by for the somewhat limited welding I do these days. Most of the time I am coaching newbies rather than gun/stick in hand so that works fine.

The more expensive ones also have a larger window.

The more expensive auto dark lenses are the same viewing area as the regular large lenses.

Ive got a Pair of 300 watt halogens mounted above my welding table..and I run them whenever Im tigging and quite often when MIG welding.

"Lenin called them "useful idiots," those people living in liberal democracies who by giving moral and material support to a totalitarian ideology in effect were braiding the rope that would hang them. Why people who enjoyed freedom and prosperity worked passionately to destroy both is a fascinating question, one still with us today.
