Hi all. I've been using the Longevity auto darkening helmet that came with my welder for most everything this last year or so. It has performed very well for me until lately. Having used a Jackson standard hood prior to this hood I have a question for you guys with auto darkening lids. The last couple times I've been wearing this thing (some gas welding, some tig), it has been flashing me at the arc start -every time. I clearly cannot weld with it anyomore. Does this happen when the battery gets low or would it not be slow going dark but rather not go dark at all? It has really only just started happening so I'm wondering if it could be the battery or just the lens. Thanks for any responses, I miss the auto.
