Auto Darkening Goggles

Auto darkening welding goggles, which stay clear until an arc strikes and then darken within a fraction of a second, returning to clear when the arc stops. That single behaviour is what makes them worth buying over a fixed shade: a welder can see the joint, position the rod and strike accurately without nodding a shield down or lifting a lens between every tack, which cuts bad starts and speeds up repetitive work considerably. Goggles sit closer to the face than a full helmet, so they suit tight spaces, overhead and awkward-angle work where a helmet is in the way, and they are lighter to wear all day. They protect the eyes from arc flash and glare; a full face shield is still needed where spatter and grinding sparks are flying. The shade range and switching time are not recorded in our catalogue - confirm both with the shop for the process you weld.
