291189 - Miller Classic Series Hex Helmet with ClearLight Lens

Product Overview

The Miller Classic Series Welding Helmet in the "Hex" graphic (SKU: 291189) represents a significant upgrade for the value-minded welder, incorporating Miller's advanced ClearLight™ Lens Technology into an economical package. Designed for light industrial applications, hobbyists, and DIY enthusiasts, this helmet provides a high-definition view of the arc with a 1/1/1/2 optical clarity rating. Unlike traditional auto-darkening filters that cast a green hue, ClearLight™ allows more colors of the visible light spectrum to pass through, resulting in a brighter, more natural view of the workpiece.

Technical Capabilities

This variable shade helmet features comprehensive digital controls that allow operators to switch seamlessly between three distinct modes: Weld, Cut, and Grind. The Weld Mode offers variable shades 8-13, suitable for MIG, Stick, and TIG processes. The Cut Mode provides shades 5-8 for plasma or oxy-fuel cutting, while the Grind Mode locks the lens in a light state (Shade 3) for clear visibility during material preparation. The lens boasts a switching speed of 1/23,000 second and is TIG rated down to 5 amps, ensuring responsiveness even in low-amperage applications.

Design and Comfort

Weighing only 16 ounces, the Classic Series helmet is engineered to reduce neck fatigue during long sessions. It utilizes a Gen 1 ratchet-style headgear for adjustable support. The power system combines a replaceable CR2450 lithium battery with solar assistance to extend battery life, while the Auto-On/Off circuitry ensures the lens is ready the moment an arc is struck. The viewing area measures 5.2 square inches, providing ample visibility for standard welding tasks.
