Very good lense for welding, tig gets flashes but what auto darkening doesn’t? No complaints works as intended.

I bought this shade 11 after buying, a Truearc Vpro Variable HD blue for school and I was having a hard time seeing the puddle. In MIG GMAW class this was better but not great at shade 11 for mig. Went to dual shield flux core class and it's God. So buy a shade 10 and 11. ArcOne send me a shade 10 so I can test my theory 😆

I like the color and the shade is pretty true compared to a solid lens. Been running this for 2 years now. I have no problem with getting flashed at lower amps during tig welding which has been a problem with other lenses I have used.

Had another model of the same brand it was just a different shade. Eyes are a bit more sensitive now a days so I went darker. Can still see my bevels perfectly.In clear mode you can easily see everything. Very convenient for getting into tight spacing and still seeing where you need to strike up.Very clear when darkened.

It is worth every penny. I’d seen mixed reviews about it and wasn’t 100% sure about it at first but I decided to give it a shot and haven’t regretted it since. It’s honestly the clearest lens out there. Before I started using the singles I was running a speedglass 9100 and in my opinion the singles was significantly clearer and truer color than the speedglass. I have welded with stick with 6010 and 7018 pipe with my singles and welded TIG pipe with it and it worked flawlessly with both of them I’ve also used hardwire MiG and it worked excellent with that too. Over all I’d give it a 10/10

Beautiful clarity in light state and crisp blue color in dark state with consistent shade throughout the entire shade. Fast response from light to dark and acceptable medium delay from dark to light. Highly reccomend if you're gonna do a lot of welding or if you just want to treat yourself to something good.

I read every review I could find before ordering and understood these aren't as dark as they are labeled. I ordered a shade 11, and by my measurements it's the dark end of shade 9. This works perfect for me so I got lucky.The view is incredible. Love the lens and would buy another tomorrow. The package was labeled HD, which wasn't clear before ordering. High Definition definitely isn't just marketing speak. The improvement from my old hood was shocking.In the off state the view is very clear, but it's not a 2.5 according to my lux meter. More like a mid range 3, but noticably lighter than the normal 4.Only 2 sensors, but I've yet to be flashed.ArcOne makes some great lenses. I'm not sure what to make of their shade specs. I ended up with a lens I really like, I just had to order an 11 to get what I needed.

Let me start by saying that before using this Lens I was almost opposed to auto len's. This was mainly due to having only used auto lens in a typical auto lens helmet, which I always found would burn my neck because they're too short for me. Right out of the box I used the lens in my pipeliner fibre metal helmet. I welded at 50-125 amps with FCAW and it worked flawlessly, I then used it at school to weld TIG, from 70-125 amps, It worked amazingly for that application as well. I welded on a friends 6G project using 1/8 6010's and it worked great there too. The lens changes quickly, doesn't fatigue my eyes, and works awesome in a variety of welding scenarios. I was deciding between this ($126) and a miller lens that my instructor uses that cost around $80. After reading reviews on the miller I saw that people after a few months would get flashed by the lens, meaning that it would randomly turn off when welding. Sure enough, a week after I started using mine, my instructors lens started malfunctioning. I will also mention that this lens is solar powered, but I think it has the ability to charge by the arc while welding, because I have been using this lens non stop for two weeks, 10 hours a day and I haven't charged it once. This lens takes some getting used to, you don't have to flick your head down, and you don't have to raise your helmet after each pass, I am still trying to get used to those things. All in all it is a great lens, maybe not for the DYI because of the price, but if you can afford it go for it.I will update my review if I run into any problems with the lens.EDIT: I now use the Lens six days a week, 10-12 hours a day at work and have been doing so for 5-6 months and have still had no problems with the Lens. I now realize another huge benefit to this lens, it does not take batteries!. I cannot even try to count the number of workers around me that have to continuously use their old worn out passive lens helmets because their new vikings, or balders batteries are dead, not with mine!EDIT EDIT: I've now had the lens for over a year, and have still been using it non-stop 10-12 hours a day 5-7 days a week and have had absolutely no issues what so ever.EDIT (x3) I have now been using the lens for over three years nearly everyday and can say it is flat out awesome!
