Shade 2.5 light state delivers extremely bright visibility, helping welders position the torch before striking the arc.
30% larger field of view improves puddle tracking and joint alignment on long weld passes.
5 arc sensors maintain reliable lens darkening even during out-of-position or obstructed welding.
Shade range 2.5/5–12 with ShadeTronic® auto adjustment adapts instantly to changing arc brightness.
FadeTronic® delay control gradually returns lens to light state, reducing eye fatigue after extended welding.
