This Draper Expert auto-darkening welding helmet is designed for professional welders and serious DIY enthusiasts who require reliable eye protection across various welding applications. Its key benefit is the instant arc strike activation and adjustable shade control, providing optimal visibility and safety. A minor caveat is the need for occasional battery replacement for sustained solar charging efficiency. The helmet features auto-darkening technology, adjustable shade levels (4, 5-9, and 9-13), variable sensitivity, and a delay function, all powered by a solar cell and replaceable lithium-ion battery.

The helmet offers adjustable shade coverage including shade 4, a variable range of 5-9, and a variable range of 9-13.
Yes, this helmet is suitable for plasma cutting applications, as well as TIG, MIG, and ARC welding.
The helmet is powered by a combination of a solar cell and a replaceable lithium-ion battery, ensuring fast switching and low amp sensitivity.
The viewing area is 100 x 67mm, providing a good field of vision for most welding tasks.
Yes, it features a dedicated grinding setting that prevents the lens from darkening, allowing you to use it safely while grinding.
The delay time is adjustable using a stepless control knob on the helmet's control panel. This controls how long the lens stays dark after the welding arc stops.
The battery is a lithium-ion type and is replaceable. Replacement frequency depends on usage, but it is recommended to replace it if the auto-darkening function becomes slow or unreliable, especially if solar charging seems insufficient.
Ensure the mode is set to 'WELD' and not 'GRIND'. Check that the shade setting is not on the lightest shade (4). Verify the solar panel and battery are functioning correctly; try replacing the lithium-ion battery if issues persist.
Adjust the delay control to a shorter setting. Ensure there is no residual light source causing the sensor to remain activated.
Adjust the sensitivity control. For low amperage TIG, increase sensitivity. For brighter ambient light or less sensitive arcs, decrease sensitivity.
Clean the exterior and interior protective lenses with a soft cloth. Ensure the shade setting is appropriate for the welding current. Check if the protective film has been removed from new lenses.
Ensure the adjustment knob is clean and free of debris. If the mechanism feels worn, contact customer support or consider replacing the headband assembly if possible.
