Interesting. I would have thought there would be enough light from the
arc but it's probably in the wrong direction (in yer face rather than
towards the job).

It's to see things before the arc starts. That's always been my problem.
But I'd be the first to admit welding isn't one of my better skills. ;-)

I'll give it a go, thanks. ;-)
