Ah. That explains why you can't see the difference between various types
of lamps.


I have perfect eyesight according to doctors.


Not for much longer if you continue to look directly at an arc.

Why don't you ask the same doctor what he thinks of you not wearing any
mask while arc welding?


He would likely do the same to that advice as all the good advice he has
