OVERVIEW

Lincoln Electric VIKING 1840 Black Welding Helmet (K3023-3)

The Lincoln Electric VIKING 1840 Black Welding Helmet (K3023-3) represents the intersection of professional-grade optical performance and economical design. Engineered for fabricators who demand precision, this helmet features Lincoln's proprietary 4C Lens Technology. This advancement filters out the common green tint found in standard auto-darkening lenses, delivering a clearer, truer color view of the weld puddle and base material. This improved visibility is critical for reducing eye strain and increasing weld quality over long shifts.

With a perfect 1/1/1/1 optical clarity rating according to EN379 standards, the 1840 Series ensures no blurriness, distortion, or inconsistent shading across the viewing area. The 3.78 x 1.85-inch viewing window provides ample visibility for most industrial applications. The helmet is designed with a low-profile shell that allows for better access into tight spaces, making it an ideal choice for general fabrication, automotive work, and maintenance operations.

Operational efficiency is enhanced by the external grind button, which allows the welder to switch between weld and grind modes without removing the helmet or lifting the hood. This feature saves time and maintains safety compliance in busy shop environments. The helmet is powered by a solar cell with a replaceable CR2450 lithium battery assist, ensuring reliable arc detection even in challenging lighting conditions.
