K3027-2 - Lincoln Viking 1840 Black Auto-Darkening Helmet

Premium Optical Performance in a Compact Shell

The Lincoln Electric Viking 1840 Series Welding Helmet (K3027-2) represents a significant step forward in personal protective equipment for industrial applications. This model is engineered with Lincoln's proprietary 4C Lens Technology, which filters light to provide a true-color view of the arc and puddle, eliminating the traditional lime-green tint found in older auto-darkening filters. The lens boasts a perfect 1/1/1/1 optical clarity rating according to EN379 standards, ensuring zero blur, distortion, or inconsistent shading across the 3.78" x 1.85" viewing area.

Designed for versatility in MRO and fabrication environments, the K3027-2 features an external grind button, allowing operators to switch between welding and grinding modes rapidly without raising the hood or removing gloves. This feature significantly improves workflow efficiency and safety compliance. The helmet is powered by a hybrid system utilizing solar cells and a replaceable CR2450 lithium battery, ensuring reliable switching speeds of 1/25,000 of a second. With a low TIG amp rating of 3 amps, this unit is highly sensitive and suitable for precision TIG work as well as standard MIG and Stick processes.

The shell is constructed from high-impact nylon, offering robust protection while maintaining a lightweight profile of approximately 17.6 ounces. This reduction in weight minimizes neck strain during prolonged use. The suspension system is fully adjustable, providing a secure fit for various head sizes. This specific SKU (K3027-2) is the standard black finish, offering a professional aesthetic suitable for all industrial settings.
