K3099-1 - Lincoln Electric Viking 2450 Graveyard Shift Auto-Darkening Helmet

Lincoln Electric Viking 2450 Graveyard Shift Welding Helmet

The Lincoln Electric Viking 2450 Graveyard Shift (K3099-1) is a premium auto-darkening welding helmet designed for industrial fabrication and professional welding applications. Part of the renowned 2450 Series, this helmet is engineered to provide the highest level of optical performance available in the market today. It features Lincoln's proprietary 4C Lens Technology, which filters out the traditional lime-green tint found in older auto-darkening filters, providing a true-color view of the arc and puddle. This improved visibility allows for better control over the weld pool and reduces eye fatigue during long shifts.

The helmet boasts a perfect 1/1/1/1 optical clarity rating according to EN379 standards, ensuring zero blur, distortion, or shade inconsistency at any angle. The viewing area is substantial at 9.3 square inches, offering a wide field of view that enhances situational awareness and safety. Equipped with four independent arc sensors, the lens reacts instantly to the arc in 1/25,000 of a second, preventing flash blindness even in obstructed or out-of-position welding scenarios. The shade range is variable from 5 to 13, making it versatile for various processes including high-amperage MIG and low-amperage TIG.

Durability and comfort are key components of the K3099-1. The shell is constructed from high-impact nylon, designed to withstand the rigors of a shop environment. The included headgear utilizes a pivot design that distributes weight evenly across the head, minimizing pressure points. The external grind button allows operators to switch between welding and grinding modes without removing the helmet or lifting the front, streamlining workflow and increasing productivity. This unit comes complete with a helmet bag, bandana, and extra cover lenses, backed by Lincoln Electric's 3-year warranty.
