Auto Darkening Filter (ADF) Welding Helmets
Are you tired of constantly flipping your helmet lens up and down to see what you’re doing? Engweld stock a wide range of high-quality, professional auto darkening welding helmets and grinding helmets, welding masks & welding helmet spares, including 3M, ESAB and our own Engweld Pro-line.
Our auto darkening helmets are designed to save you time and effort while also improving your safety, with sensors to activate as soon as you strike an arc and switch the lens filter. As an arc strikes, the shade or filter automatically adjusts to provide a perfect viewing area while protecting your eyes. In addition, our auto darkening welding helmets protect your eyes and skin from severe sparks and vision-damaging ultraviolet and infrared rays cast by the arc.

Why do I need an auto darkening welding helmet?
Auto darkening welding helmets are essential for many construction jobs involving welding, from the high heat to the flying sparks to UV light flashes. Especially for operators who raise and lower their helmets frequently, auto darkening helmets offer greater ease of use and convenience since sensors automatically darken the lens when an arc is detected. In addition, if you’re an inexperienced welder looking to improve your welding skills, an auto darkening helmet can make it easier to start arcs and position electrodes safely.
What are the benefits of an auto darkening welding helmet?
There are a variety of benefits to using an auto darkening welding helmet for projects, but the primary advantages include increased efficiency and convenience. For example, with an auto darkening welding helmet, you won’t have to adjust your position before welding, unlike with a passive helmet that requires you to flip up the helmet and readjust your position before welding again. You also get to complete your work at comfortable light levels with constant eye and face protection.
With an auto-darkening helmet, you can weld in tighter spaces with less space, reduce neck strain and ensure a clear view, allowing you to weld even with the most awkward of angles.
Lastly, there are almost no problems with ADF delay settings, which significantly reduces the risk of arc flashes.
How long do auto darkening welding helmets last?
With proper care, most auto darkening helmets should last around seven to ten years. The longevity of your helmet will mostly depend on the sensors and lens, which can be replaced by spares you can find within our Auto Darkening Welding Helmet Spares.
