Those of you who have Lincoln 3350 welding helmets -- can you tell me the color of the welding puddle? it is amber or the greenish blue hue like a Speedglas? What do you think of the clarity? It's advertised as a 1/1/1/1, but I don't have a LWS nearby that has one so I'd appreciate any opinions from using one that you can offer.Thanks.

Reply:I just bought one a couple months ago. Can't even tell you the color, lol. Everything except the headband I love. Much clearer than my 15yo jackson, bigger view area, better response and many more adjustments. I was surprised that it even works for grinding. I didn't think that would work. The headband is very complex and not easy to use for me. However it looked like most of the new ones were the same. Maybe when I get used to it it will ge better. Overall I would say I like it a lot. I was really struggling to see good enough to weld lately and bought it hoping that with the new helmet and a cheater I would be able to see good enough. But I found that the cheater was more trouble than good and took it out. I can see just fine now anyway as long as I keep the glasses clean.Yeah, I know, but it'll be ok!Lincoln Square wave 255Miller Vintage mig30a spoolgunThermal Dynamics Pacmaster 100xl plasmaSmith mc torchEllis 1600 band saw

Reply:I'm no pro welder, but I love the 3350, you will see an orange-amber puddle, I can't compare to any other top rated lids, cause my others are HF blue flame and Fema, and it's night and day difference. The large view really helps me find a sweet spot looking thru the bi-focals, and like welderj said a cheater lens is not a cure all for us getting hard to see. I would say they have extremely good clarity.Thermal Arc 210 - Tweco 211I - Cutmaster 52
Reply:Perhaps trying different color tinted safety glasses under the helmet would be a lot less expensive than buying 1/2 dozen $300+ helmets?

Reply:You have not tried the Jackson Balder? It's very different from the Amber next gen ws60 which I also own. It's a 1/1/1/1 hood. Being colorblind I can't really comment on the color unless you are too.

Reply:Have an old Jackson fixed, must be 40 yrs or better, and a top of the line Kolbalt ;-0 The Kolbalt has about the same color puddle as my old Jackson, and my eyes are light blue.... Use a cheater lens and wear glasses, one pair of my glasses have yellow tint and they do intensify the puddle color
Reply:If it's listed as a 1/1/1/1 rating, you won't find anything finer as far as optics go.JasonLincoln Idealarc 250 stick/tigThermal Dynamics Cutmaster 52Miller Bobcat 250Torchmate CNC tableThermal Arc Hefty 2Ironworkers Local 720

Reply:I have a 3350, have green eyes and see an amber-orange colored puddle as well. Love this helmet, big viewing area, room for my 3M respirator and hardhat adaptable. Haven't tried it with a cheater lens because I didn't know about them until a few days ago, could of saved a hundred bucks instead of getting prescription safety glasses.
