OVERVIEW

Experience True Color with the Lincoln VIKING 2450 Graveyard Shift

The Lincoln Electric VIKING™ 2450 Graveyard Shift Welding Helmet (K3099-3) combines a striking, edgy graphic design with industry-leading optical technology. For professional welders and serious hobbyists alike, visibility is the key to a perfect weld. This helmet features Lincoln's proprietary 4C® Lens Technology, which stands for Clarity, Color, Carat, and Cut. Unlike traditional auto-darkening lenses that cast a lime-green tint over your work, the 4C technology provides a crystal-clear, true-color view of the arc and puddle. This improved visibility reduces eye strain during long shifts and allows for better control over the weld pool.

Comfort is just as important as clarity when you are under the hood for hours. The VIKING 2450 comes equipped with the innovative X6 Headgear. Designed to distribute weight evenly across six contact points, it eliminates pressure points and improves balance, making the helmet feel lighter than its actual 21 oz weight. The ratcheting headgear allows for a customized fit, ensuring the helmet stays securely in place even when working out of position.

The "Graveyard Shift" graphic adds a layer of personality to your PPE, featuring a detailed, monochromatic skull and graveyard motif that stands out in any shop. Beyond looks and comfort, this helmet is built for versatility. With a shade range of 5-13 and a low-profile external grind button, you can switch seamlessly between welding, cutting, and grinding without removing your helmet. Whether you are TIG welding thin gauge stainless or MIG welding heavy structural steel, the VIKING 2450 adapts to your needs.

Key Benefits for the User:

  • Reduced Eye Strain: The 1/1/1/1 optical clarity rating ensures a distortion-free view.
  • Enhanced Productivity: External grind button allows for mode switching without lifting the hood.
  • Superior Comfort: X6 Headgear contours to the head for a perfect fit.
