Got me a welder the other week and got a chance to really play with it yesterday evening.
But my helmet which worked fantastic in my College welding class (maybe 4 years ago at this point) is a little slower, and I keep having those spots like in a camera flash. They don't hurt and they're completely gone in about 1-2 minutes. But it still makes it difficult to see where I'm trying to weld. It darkens plenty enough, but it's just a little bit too slow.
It's a solar powered unit and it's sat out in my shed for at least 2 years. I've had it by the window but not in direct sunlight (outside) due to the wind. I would imagine it'd be pretty powered up.
Does the cold do things to them too?
