Auto-Darkening Helmet DIN 9-13 — Instant protection, zero compromise on your welds
An electric arc strikes in a fraction of a second. Your eyes don’t have time to react, but this auto-darkening filter does, responding in just 1/25,000th of a second. Engineered for MIG, TIG, and MMA welding, this helmet combines ultra-fast reaction speeds with a lightweight 256g design, built for hours of fatigue-free operation.
Note: The product is delivered fully assembled and ready for immediate use. Sensitivity and delay controls are conveniently located on the exterior of the shell.
Why choose this model? (Key Advantages):
- 1/25,000s reaction time — The LCD filter darkens almost simultaneously with the arc strike, protecting your retinas before exposure.
- Adjustable DIN 9–13 shade — Tailor the filter intensity to your process: DIN 9 for low-amp TIG, up to DIN 13 for high-amperage MMA.
- Permanent UV/IR protection — Harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation are blocked even in the clear state (DIN 4), not just when the filter is active.
- Sensitivity and delay controls — Fine-tune when the filter returns to the clear state, eliminating annoying flickering during repetitive welding tasks.
- 256g polycarbonate shell — Lighter than most workshop helmets, significantly reducing neck strain during long shifts.
- Generous 10.5 × 5 cm viewing area — A wide field of view for precise weld monitoring without blind spots.
- Glasses-friendly design — The shell depth allows for comfortable wear over prescription glasses without needing extra adjustments.
Performance and Specifications
The liquid crystal filter operates on electro-optical polarization: at rest, the lens remains in a clear DIN 4 state, allowing you to position your electrode with pinpoint accuracy. Upon detecting an arc, the sensor triggers the crystals in 1/25,000 of a second—eight times faster than a human blink. The return to the clear state is controlled by the delay setting, ensuring smooth transitions between consecutive welds.
The heat-resistant polycarbonate shell absorbs molten metal spatter and withstands moderate mechanical impacts, meeting safety standards for welding equipment. At just 256g, it is among the lightest helmets in its class—a difference you will feel after your first hour of work.

Setup and Usage Guide
- Adjust the shade (DIN) — Turn the dial to DIN 9–10 for TIG and currents under 100A, or DIN 12–13 for MIG/MMA at amperages over 200A.
- Set sensitivity — Increase sensitivity for TIG welding (lower arc intensity) and reduce it if the filter triggers unintentionally in bright ambient light.
- Adjust delay time — Use a short delay for fast, repetitive welds, or a longer delay for continuous seams to reduce sudden brightness transitions.
- Adjust the headgear — Tighten the headband for a firm fit against your forehead, ensuring stability and protection against side light.
- Pre-use check — Look at a light source through the visor while at rest; if the image appears uneven or spotted, check the battery or sensors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does DIN 9-13 mean and how do I choose the right setting?
The DIN scale indicates the darkness level of the filter. DIN 9–10 is suitable for TIG and currents under 100A, DIN 11 for medium-intensity MIG, and DIN 12–13 for MMA or high-amperage MIG. Select the value based on your specific welding process and amperage.
Does it work for TIG welding, where the arc is weaker?
Yes. The sensitivity adjustment allows the helmet to detect the lower-intensity arcs typical of TIG. Set the sensitivity to maximum and use DIN 9–10 for currents under 100A for an instant, reliable response.
How long does the battery last and can I replace it myself?
The helmet uses a standard battery (CR2032 or similar) which can be replaced via the external compartment without special tools. Battery life depends on usage frequency, but replacement takes less than a minute.
Are my eyes protected even when the filter isn’t active?
Yes. UV and IR protection is permanent, even in the DIN 4 clear state. Your eyes are fully protected at all times, including before the arc is struck.
Can I wear prescription glasses under this helmet?
Yes. The shell depth and adjustable headgear provide ample space to wear standard prescription glasses comfortably without pressure or discomfort.
