I guess I am blessed. I have only had eye burn twice. Both times from plasma at home. I weld in a shop the has sometimes 4 or 5 sets of welders in seperate locations making 20 or 30 tacks before starting welding ( and have worked in other places the same or worse ). Automatic lenses are great yes. At work they supply us with Huntsman battery powered with 2 sensors at top. One aaa battery lasts long time. I have a hundred dollar Huntsman at home ( solar ) and I would NOT recommend it. I will buy either a full screen automatic to fit one of the shop helmets eventually. Solar sucks. Sunlight is hard to come by frequently. I may or may not weld at home for days ( mig anyway ). I use shade 5's to gas weld. I also now use the same shade 5's for plasma. The red lens Jackson helmet will not be replaced at home until I have a good automatic.
