287803 - Miller Classic Series Black Welding Helmet with ClearLight Lens - 287803

Miller Classic Series Auto-Darkening Helmet 287803

The Miller Classic Series Black Welding Helmet (287803) represents a significant advancement in entry-level personal protective equipment, integrating Miller's proprietary ClearLight™ Lens Technology. This technology optimizes contrast and clarity in both welding and light states, achieving a 1/1/1/2 optical clarity rating. By allowing more natural color tones to pass through the lens, it reduces the traditional green tint associated with auto-darkening filters, thereby improving visibility of the weld puddle and reducing operator eye strain.

Engineered for versatility, this helmet features digital controls that allow precise management of three distinct operating modes: Weld, Cut, and Grind. The Weld Mode offers variable shades 8-13, suitable for a wide range of amperage outputs. The Cut Mode provides shades 5-8 for plasma or oxy-fuel cutting, while the Grind Mode locks the lens in a clear state (Shade 3) for material removal tasks. The lens is equipped with two independent arc sensors and features a switching speed of 1/23,000 second, ensuring rapid reaction to arc strikes.

The unit is powered by a replaceable CR2450 lithium battery supplemented by solar-assist technology, eliminating the need for recharging. It includes Manual On/Auto-Off circuitry to preserve battery life. The helmet shell is constructed from durable, lightweight nylon, weighing approximately 16 oz, and utilizes Gen 1 ratchet-style headgear for secure fitment. It is TIG rated for low-amperage applications down to 5 amps and meets ANSI Z87.1+ and CSA Z94.3 safety standards.
