Day and night difference with old model 1840

Just wanted to buy a new 4C lens for my old model 1840 and found that buying a brand new one is a cheaper alternative. I have to say it doesn't even look like the same lens hood. The new style headgear is more than comfortable and sits farther from the lens so my nose, which is larger than usual, doesn't smudge it. Flipping back to headgear no longer causes pain in the back of the head. The hue darkens very quickly compared to the old 1840's style. Potholders used to be a guessing game in dark corners or shadows. Now I can see perfectly with 4C under the same conditions. I genuinely believe I have better control over my weld pool and better understand if I'm welding too hot or too cold because the cool blue tint brings the color and contrast more vividly. bright. Honestly, I don't think the comparison image in the ad is accurate. I look a lot better in real life. I would definitely recommend this to the welding student, DIY enthusiast or the average person who wants a quality range hood at a decent price.

Pros
  • Welding helmets
Cons
  • Only available in black
