Illuminated Welding Helmet

[Highpower]

That is understandable Ed. When it comes to welding, one size does not fit all. You have to do whatever it takes to make things comfortable for you. If you aren't comfortable with your position, grip, working height, lighting, etc, .... you change things up until you are. Just because a shade 10 or 11 works for most people, doesn't mean squat to me when I know a shade 9 works better for me.
