Today I got to try out the new welding helmet. NOT HAPPY! Well I was happy until I was running a bead at about 125 amps and all of a sudden, it went from dark to LIGHT! Took me a moment to react. Flashed me good. There is no OFF and I didn't block the arc sensors. (I was in my garage)
So I tried it again and shortly after striking the arc, it flashed me again! I changed a few setting, made sure the battery covers were tight and while running a short bead, it quickly flashed light then back to dark. The 4th time the same so THAT'S IT! 4 times is enough for me. (the first was the worst)
Has anyone ever heard of any brand helmet doing this? I'll try searching the net later to see if others had this problem with the Eastwood brand.
