K3282-2 - Lincoln Viking 1740 Auto-Darkening Hood Matte Black

Lincoln Electric VIKING 1740 Matte Black Welding Helmet

The Lincoln Electric VIKING™ 1740 Series Welding Helmet (K3282-2) in Matte Black is designed to offer the perfect blend of performance, comfort, and value. Ideally suited for hobbyists, students, and general fabricators, this helmet features Lincoln's exclusive 4C® Lens Technology. This advanced optics system filters out the traditional lime-green tint found in standard auto-darkening lenses, delivering a crystal-clear, true-color view of the arc and puddle. With a perfect 1/1/1/1 optical clarity rating, welders can expect blur-free, distortion-free vision that enhances control and weld quality.

Weighing in at just 18.6 ounces (528g), the 1740 Series is engineered to reduce neck fatigue during extended use. The shell is compact yet durable, providing ample coverage against sparks and spatter. The auto-darkening filter (ADF) offers a variable shade range of DIN 9-13, making it versatile enough for Stick, TIG, and MIG welding processes. It also features a dedicated Grind Mode, allowing users to switch tasks without removing the helmet. The viewing area measures a generous 6.3 square inches, ensuring excellent peripheral awareness.

Powered by a solar cell with replaceable AAA battery assist, the K3282-2 ensures long operational life and easy maintenance. The helmet comes equipped with two arc sensors that provide a rapid switching speed of 1/25,000 of a second. Internal controls allow for precise adjustment of sensitivity and delay, ensuring the lens reacts appropriately to different lighting environments and welding amperages. Included with the helmet are a helmet bag, bandana, decal sheet for customization, and a set of extra cover lenses, making this a complete package ready for the shop floor.
