YESWELDER Welding Mask True Colour Large View 10x9cm with Blue Light Blocking and Auto Darkening
Product description
What it is
The YESWELDER Welding Mask is a large-view auto-darkening helmet designed for TIG, MIG, MMA, grinding and cutting tasks. It features a true colour viewing area measuring about 10x9cm, four sensors, and a solar-powered battery system for extended use.
How it works
When you start welding, the lens switches from dark to light in a fraction of a second (reported reaction time around 1/30000s). You can adjust the dark-to-light delay between 0.1 and 0.8 seconds to suit different processes. An outer blue light blocking lens is included to filter out a substantial portion of blue light, aiming to reduce eye strain during extended sessions.
What stands out
On the positive side, you get a larger viewing size for better accuracy and a claimed true colour view, which helps with alignment and weld quality. The helmet is powered by solar energy, with a replaceable lithium battery (CR2450) option. It’s built from a sturdy PP material and is designed to meet safety standards (ANSI Z87.1, CSA Z94.3, EN ISO 16321).
Considerations and limitations
The blue light protection is provided by the outer lens during use, the accompanying replacement lenses are standard and do not include blue light filtering. If you rely heavily on blue-light filtering for long sessions, you may want to review lens options carefully. At about 600g, it’s not the lightest helmet, which could affect comfort over long periods for some users.
Who it’s for
This mask is well-suited for hobbyists and professionals doing TIG, MIG, MMA, grinding or cutting who value a wide, clear field of view and practical eye protection features. It’s a sensible option if you prioritise a large viewing area and a straightforward, solar-assisted power setup.
Who it might not be perfect for
If you prioritise ultra-lightweight gear or the absolute lightest helmet on the market, this model may feel heavier. Also, if you require a specific lens type beyond blue-light blocking or a higher-level certified protection outside the listed standards, you may want to compare alternatives.
When it makes sense to buy
Consider this helmet when you want a wide, true-colour view to improve weld alignment, and you value a solar-powered design with adjustable dark-to-light timing. It’s practical for varied welding tasks (TIG, MIG, MMA) and occasional grinding.
What to check before buying
Verify that the lens’s true colour performance aligns with your expectations, note the weight for your comfort, and confirm you’re happy with the integrated blue-light filter approach and the backup lens configuration. Remember the blue-light protection is specific to the outer lens during welding, plan for additional eye protection if your workflow requires alternative filters.
Practical use example
Imagine a long TIG weld where precise torch alignment matters. The large 10x9cm viewing window lets you position the arc with visual cues that are easier to read than smaller designs. The 4 sensors respond quickly to arc start, and you can set a short dark-to-light delay to keep pace with rapid starts and stops without flicker.
Quick FAQ
- Does it come with all necessary electronics? Yes, it includes solar power and a replaceable CR2450 battery option.
- Can I use this helmet for grinding? Yes, it’s advertised for TIG, MIG, MMA, grinding and cutting tasks.
- Is blue-light protection included in the standard lenses? The outer blue light blocking lens provides protection, replacement standard lenses do not include blue light protection.
Final decision
Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you value a large, true-colour viewing area and a solar-powered setup with adjustable dark-to-light timing for a range of welding tasks. It isn’t the lightest helmet, and the blue-light protection depends on the outer lens in use, so factor comfort and lens options into your decision.
