OVERVIEW

Premium Optical Performance for Industrial Fabrication

The Lincoln Electric VIKING™ 2450 Street Rod® Welding Helmet (K3035-4) represents the pinnacle of optical engineering in personal protective equipment. Designed for professional fabricators who demand precision, this helmet integrates Lincoln's proprietary 4C® Lens Technology. This advanced liquid crystal display (LCD) filtration system broadens the visible color spectrum, allowing the welder to perceive the arc, puddle, and base material in natural tones rather than the traditional lime-green tint. This enhancement is critical for identifying weld defects and controlling heat input, particularly in complex TIG applications.

Technically, the VIKING 2450 achieves a perfect 1/1/1/1 optical clarity rating according to EN379 standards. This rating certifies that the lens excels in four key areas: minimal blurriness, zero distortion, uniform shade consistency, and angle uniformity. With a substantial viewing area of 9.3 square inches (3.82 x 2.44 inches), operators maintain excellent peripheral awareness, enhancing safety and productivity in dynamic industrial environments. The auto-darkening filter (ADF) features a rapid switching speed of 1/25,000 of a second and is equipped with four independent arc sensors, ensuring reliable darkening even when the arc is partially obstructed.

Ergonomics play a vital role in the K3035-4's design. The helmet utilizes the X6 Headgear™, which features a contour-fitting headband and strategically positioned rear support pads to distribute weight evenly across the cranium. This design minimizes pressure points and reduces neck fatigue during extended use. Operational efficiency is further improved by the low-profile external grind control button, allowing operators to switch between welding and grinding modes without removing the helmet or lifting the hood. The unit is powered by solar cells assisted by replaceable CR2450 lithium batteries, ensuring long service life and reliability. Rated for low-amperage TIG welding (≥ 2 Amps), this helmet is a versatile solution for Stick, MIG, TIG, and Flux-Cored processes.

FAQ

4C Lens Technology is Lincoln Electric's proprietary LCD filter that improves the visible color spectrum. It reduces the traditional green tint, allowing you to see the weld puddle and base material in more natural, true-to-life colors, which reduces eye strain and improves weld quality.

The Viking 2450 uses two replaceable CR2450 lithium batteries. These work in conjunction with the solar assist feature to provide long battery life.

Yes, the K3035-4 features a low-profile external grind button. This allows you to switch the helmet into grind mode without lifting the hood, preventing the lens from darkening while you use an angle grinder.

Absolutely. The Viking 2450 is TIG rated for both AC and DC TIG welding down to 2 Amps. Its four sensors ensure reliable arc detection even at very low amperages.

The package includes the Viking 2450 Street Rod helmet, a helmet bag, a bandana, 5 outside cover lenses, 2 inside cover lenses, a sticker sheet, and the user manual.

Yes, the Viking 2450 is compatible with cheater (magnifying) lenses. It accepts standard magnifying lenses which can be easily installed into the lens cartridge holder.

Lincoln Electric provides a 3-year warranty on the Viking 2450 series welding helmets, covering defects in material and workmanship.

The X6 Headgear features a rotatable front headband, a strategically positioned rear headband to distribute weight, and multiple adjustment points. This design balances the helmet to reduce pressure on the forehead and strain on the neck.
