Tread carefully while you can still see.

The UV filtering is independent of the darkening - it's always on.
So,
if it doesn't darken, you would get a flash, but it wouldn't have
the
damaging UV in it.

Is that true with all auto-darkening helmets? I didn't realize that.
It makes me feel better about them.

My Jackson EQC filters IR and UV when off. The flash doesn't hurt my
eyes when I forget to turn the helmet on.

The flash does hurt the Tungsten when I forget to turn the Argon on.
