Is this the electronic one or the photochemical one?
I think the photochemical ones darken in 1/2000s and the
electronic ones do it in 1/25000s. I am not sure if the difference
is significant from an eye safety point of view.
Compared to some other forms of welding, MIG welding really
isn't that bright, especially with gas. I am using the face shield
that came with my lincoln and frankly it's very dark, even with
the arc on it's still barely viewable. I am thinking of switching
to a lighter lens.
