PWH9855G5 - Powerweld Red Eagle Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet with Grind Mode

Technical Overview: Powerweld Red Eagle ADF Helmet

The Powerweld Red Eagle Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet (SKU: PWH9855G5) is engineered to provide professional-grade optical protection and ergonomic comfort for industrial welding applications. At the core of this safety equipment is a high-performance Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) with a variable shade range of DIN 9 through 13. This wide range ensures suitability for a variety of welding processes, including MIG, TIG, and Stick welding, allowing operators to adjust opacity based on amperage and arc intensity. The lens technology boasts an exceptional switching speed of 0.000033 seconds (1/30,000s), providing near-instantaneous transition from light to dark states upon arc ignition, thereby significantly reducing the risk of arc eye and cumulative retinal damage.

Beyond basic shading, the Red Eagle offers granular control over the lens response. Operators can fine-tune the Sensitivity to account for ambient lighting conditions or low-amperage TIG arcs, ensuring the lens triggers only when necessary. The Delay function is equally critical, allowing the user to set the time the lens remains dark after the arc is extinguished; this is particularly useful in high-amperage applications where the weld puddle remains bright enough to cause discomfort immediately after welding stops. Permanent UV and IR protection is provided up to DIN 16 at all times, regardless of whether the lens is in the light or dark state, ensuring fail-safe radiation protection.

Structurally, the helmet is designed for prolonged industrial use. Weighing in at only 480 grams (16.9 oz), it is among the lighter helmets in its class, directly addressing issues of neck strain and musculoskeletal fatigue during extended shifts. The inclusion of a dedicated Grind Mode allows the user to lock the lens in a light state, facilitating grinding and material preparation without the need to remove the helmet or switch face shields. The assembly includes a multi-adjust headgear system that distributes weight evenly across the cranium, and a built-in magnifier lens holder accommodates standard cheater lenses for operators requiring optical assistance.
