KP3045-3 - Lincoln Viking 3350 Replacement ADF Lens Kit with 4C Technology

Crystal Clear Vision for Professional Welders

The Lincoln Viking 3350 Series ADF Cartridge Kit (KP3045-3) is the definitive replacement lens for welders who demand the absolute best in optical clarity and viewing size. Designed specifically for the industry-leading VIKING™ 3350 Series welding helmets, this auto-darkening filter (ADF) is not just a spare part—it is the heart of your personal protective equipment. When your helmet's lens is damaged or outdated, replacing it with this genuine Lincoln Electric cartridge ensures you maintain the high standards of safety and performance you rely on.

At the core of this cartridge is Lincoln's proprietary 4C® Lens Technology. Unlike traditional auto-darkening lenses that often impart a lime-green tint to the weld puddle, 4C technology broadens the color range and hues visible in both light and dark states. This results in a true-color view that eliminates imperfections and color saturation. By providing a clearer view of the base material, arc, and puddle, this technology significantly reduces eye strain and allows for more precise weld placement. Whether you are performing TIG work on exotic alloys or heavy structural MIG welding, seeing the details clearly is paramount to quality craftsmanship.

The physical dimensions of the lens are equally impressive. With a viewing area of 114 x 133 mm (4.5" x 5.25"), it offers one of the largest fields of view in its class. This expansive window increases operator control and versatility, allowing you to see more of your workpiece and the surrounding environment without constantly repositioning your head. This is particularly beneficial in tight spaces or when welding out of position, where peripheral vision is crucial for safety and efficiency.

Versatility is built into the design with a variable shade range of 5 to 13. This wide spectrum covers virtually every welding process, from low-amperage TIG to high-amperage flux-cored welding. Additionally, the integrated Grind Mode allows operators to switch tasks seamlessly without removing their helmet, increasing productivity and keeping safety gear where it belongs—on your head. Investing in the KP3045-3 means investing in the longevity of your helmet and the quality of your work.
