My autodarkening helmet quit in less than a year. The brand of the lens is
Xelux. Yes, you want an auto darkening lens. The next step up from the
auto dark is the adjustable shade. I have rotten vision so I find that the
better I can see, the better I can weld. I bought a Speedglas but the guy
who told me how nice the adjustable shades are had a Miller that he really
liked. The Speedglas also has a sensitivity setting so that the auto dark
can function properly under different ambient lighting.
