My Miller helmet would flash me ever so slightly. I noticed this when I was out welding up a snowplow in the middle of a blizzard. The auto darkening feature seems to slow down just a bit and it gets darker than it was set for. Anyone ever do something like that with their HFT auto darkening helmet?Are you welding in a cold area like an unheated garage or outside when it is cold out?Īll the helmets I have don't work as well when the temps get below 30 degrees. I use dozens of rechargeable AA batteries in all sorts of stuff so I've always got them around. Is there a battery I can change in this helmet? I use my welder so seldom it would make sense to use some kind of external battery holder on the outside of the helmet where I could place a couple of AA batteries or something like that when I'm welding and take them out when I'm done. I've tried placing the helmet in direct sunlight for a couple of weeks and it helped a little but not much. Now I've got the adjustment set all the way to the brightest setting and it's still too dark. When it was new I had all kinds of range on the darkening control on the side of the helmet. I have to stick my face right down into my work which makes me a little nervous. It worked very good when it was new but now it's too dark. I've got a HFT auto darkening helmet that I purchased about 3 years ago. My original auto helmet was a HF, which was just fine in the shop, but I couldn't use it outdoors, in the sun, because it kept tripping, just like yours is doing now.

One of the things you gain with the pricey-er hats is a sensitivity control.

If you have a task light on your work, it may be tripping it to the dark mode.which just means its doing its job. I've learned not to touch anything that's red!If it has a solar cell on the front, that will charge your battery by leaving it in the direct sun for a day (you'll have to re-position it every 30 minutes to stay aligned with the sun). I never gave *lighting* a thought before while welding but it helps to have your work (not the room) lit up while you're welding. I started using one of the old high intensity lights from the 1970's to "light my work". The batteries are non-rechargeable lithium that are suppose to last for about 6 years or so. The HFT helmet doesn't have rechargeable batteries in it so setting the helmet in the sun for a few hours won't do anything to enhance its performance. I discovered a couple of other things I wasn't aware of also. I'm not sure why that would have anything to do with it being too dark. After placing it in the slow position, I'm now getting a brighter view of my weld. I took another look at my helmet and discovered a switch inside labeled fast/slow.
