I'm currently TIGing some thin stainless (0.55mm) sheet and this
requires very low currents.

The problem I'm having is that my auto-helmet only goes down to DIN 9
and it seems way too dark.

If you can get the cup between your eyes and the electrode tip,
it will help immensely. Some people fashion shades that clip
onto the torch and block the light from the electrode.
