Why did you throw out tht HF helmet?

Because it broke. It was a solar helmet and it stopped darkening.

I bought one on eBay when I got my TIG. I am pretty sure it is similar
to the HF stuff. Has a darkness knob on the left outside. That is a
peeve, as that knob constantly gets bumped.

What I found is that you need to leave the unit where it can see light,
so I leave it pointed so it is looking straight at a light fixture.
This keeps the battery charged.

It was exposed to light all the time.
