I've got two HF auto helmets. Their cheaper one, and their more expensive
one. I kinda like them both, but the more expensive one takes about 3/4-1
second to go clear when the arc shuts off. If I am stacking (overlapping)
tack welds doing thinner materials its kind of a pain having to wait after
each spot for my helmet to clear so I can see to position the gun again.

Set up a high-intensity light on the weld area. It will light up the
workpiece while keeping the lens dark. Win/win.

LOL. Ok... or set up high intensity lights and just use my old ordinary
dark welding helmet.
