K3034-4 - Lincoln Viking 3350 4th Gen Matte Black Welding Helmet with 4C Technology

Lincoln Viking 3350 4th Gen: Technical Precision and Optical Excellence

The Lincoln Electric Viking 3350 Matte Black (K3034-4) represents the 4th generation of the renowned 3350 series, engineered to meet the rigorous demands of professional fabrication and industrial welding. At the core of this helmet is Lincoln's proprietary 4C Lens Technology, which optimizes the liquid crystal display (LCD) to deliver a perfect 1/1/1/1 optical clarity rating. This rating, verified against EN379 standards, ensures zero blurriness, zero distortion, uniform shade consistency, and consistent angle performance. The 4C technology also enhances the visible color spectrum, eliminating the traditional lime-green tint found in older ADFs and providing a "Real Color" view of the weld puddle and heat-affected zone.

The auto-darkening filter (ADF) features an expansive 12.5 square inch viewing area (3.74" x 3.34"), one of the largest in its class, supported by four redundant arc sensors that ensure rapid switching times of 1/25,000 second. The ADF circuitry has been upgraded in this generation to improve battery efficiency and outdoor performance, allowing the lens to distinguish between high-intensity sunlight and welding arcs, thereby preventing false triggering during outdoor work. The unit is powered by a replaceable CR2450 battery supplemented by a solar cell, ensuring long operational life.

Ergonomics are addressed through the inclusion of the X6 Headgear system. This suspension system utilizes a flexible, cushioned back pad and a rotatable headband to distribute weight across six key contact points, effectively eliminating pressure hotspots and improving balance. For operational efficiency, the K3034-4 integrates a low-profile external grind button, allowing operators to switch between Weld and Grind modes (DIN 3.5 state) without removing the helmet or gloves. The shell is constructed from high-impact nylon and is compatible with cheater lenses and hard hat adapters.
