Welding Helmet
Popular Welding Helmets
Welding helmets are the headgear worn to protect the face and neck during various welding operations. For example, arc welding, shielding metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and gas metal arc welding are all operations that require a welding helmet for safety and protection. These helmets, such as Jackson welding helmets, protect from flash burns, ultraviolet light, sparks, infrared light and heat. They also can prevent damaging health risks such as arc eye, inflamed cornea, and retina burns. Any unprotected exposure to the highly concentrated release of ultraviolet and infrared light emissions from the welding arc can cause such damages. The same ultraviolet emissions can also harm any unprotected skin. Most skin damage is comparable to a sunburn and can occur quickly hence the term "flash burn".
Without proper knowledge and safety precautions welding can be both dangerous and unhealthy. Most welding processes involve an arc flame, so the risk of facial and flesh burns is very high. Jackson welding helmets are durable and dependable, they significantly reduce any risk of injury, and allow for quality work to be done both safely and effectively. These helmets are specifically designed for optimal protection of the eyes. Standard welding helmets protect the eyes from ultraviolet emissions released during multiple arc welding processes; exposure to these emissions result in inflammation of the cornea and is known as arc eye or ultraviolet keratitis. It's very important to find a United States Industry approved helmet that covers all necessary security features and provides sufficient protection to prevent or greatly reduce any and all risks of injury resulting in personal harm or physical damage.
Older models of welding helmets were worn up during most welding operations. Traditionally, the welder would work with the helmet in an up position and pay close attention to his work. When the worker began an arc welding process (arc welding, shielding metal arc welding, gas tungsten arc welding, and gas metal arc welding) he would need to nod his head for the helmet to fall into place for protection. This was necessary because the older helmets were harder to see out of while working.
However, the newer models such as Jackson welding helmets have easy viewing liquid crystal display screens that automatically adjust to differential light. The newer model helmets can therefore be worn down at all times which increases protection, and reduces the risks of injury and accidents. Most welding helmets are likely to age especially due to the rugged nature in which they are used. Over time, cracks and can reduce the potential protection any welding hood can offer.
Specifically, a cracked helmet will reduce protection from ultraviolet and infrared rays. Accordingly, welding hoods should provide full protection from the electromagnetic emissions both ultraviolet and infrared even when the the liquid crystal display screen is not darkened; to remain protected at all times it would be prudent to purchase a quality helmet that would provide protection for a reasonable period of time without needing to be repaired or replaced.

For Christmas, my boyfriend REALLY wants an auto-darkening welding helmet. I'm no pro welder, so I was wondering what some good brands and specs to look for are... I'm looking at spending $200 max, so if you know of any good-quality ones that are in that price range, that would be spectacular. I really want to get a good quality one, but I don't know what to look for.
Thanks!!
I agree, go to Sears and check 'em out. The brands don't count for much. Most helmets are pretty basic. They make some pretty wild looking ones but that don't do anything for the welding. Try for a lens that darkens to at least a #9 shade. #10 is better if you are working inside in a shop.
I never cared for auto dark except for tig weld and plasma cutting.
