When first purchased, I had no issues whatsoever. Overall, I've been very pleased with this purchase, especially for the price!!However, for the last 1.5 months of use up to today the helmet stops triggering. I've reset the battery, and gone through all necessary troubleshooting steps, but the lens will sometimes not darken at all or will shut off in the middle of welding. The workaround I've found is turning the dial to the "Grind" function and turning it back to whatever darkness level I was using. This "resets" it each time and it triggers properly, but I cannot get it to stay consistently working. It always goes back to not working properly.It is very aggravating to strike an arc and blind myself, or worse, get blinded mid-weld because the helmet will not darken. I am hoping the seller will consider sending a replacement for the faulty device, as I do enjoy the helmet... but it is proving to be unreliable. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I've been using auto shade helmets for well over ten years and love them. I needed a new one as I ... *by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2016* For the money it's hard to beat. I've been using auto shade helmets for well over ten years and love them. I needed a new one as I am living in a different country to where my old one currently resides.This helmet addresses all of the problems I had with the previous one.1) It has adjustable lower limit when dropping the helmet. So the helmet falls to the same place every time. The old one had no stop.2) It has adjustable sensitivity. The old one was fixed and only had shade adjustment.3) It has a grinder mode. Working outdoors with the old one the Sun was often enough to trigger the auto darkening. I can disable it on this one.4) The helmet tightening system is better. It uses an o-ring to provide far better tension adjustment. When the helmet has a stop it's not so critical but without a stop and the adjustment slipping, it was a PITA.I never had issues with the old helmets two sensor system or it's lack of light on delay. If these are important to you I can't comment.It comes with spare protective lens covers for the outside and one for the inside.The solar feature works. I removed the batteries completely and the helmet still functions. There is a difference in the solar voltage compared to the battery voltage which affects the sensitivity. Mine is more sensitive on straight solar than with the batteries fitted. If the manufacturer added a simple Zener clamp (3.6Volt) and series diode to isolate the battery, the performance on battery and solar would be identical. The only time this is an issue is that the sensitivity and darkness scales shift due to varying voltage confusing the user. This can easily be corrected in future revisions and is not a problem if you are aware of it.The helmet is very light. It's not going to be industrial rated as it's made of thin plastic. Good for ease of use but not so good for heavy industrial applications. If your goal is to use this in the workplace you are better off with a different unit.For the exact same reason, it is not recommended to weld overhead. Any hot slag can easily melt and go through the helmet onto the user.I gave it four stars because of it's inability to be used for overhead welding. If this is not an issue to you, then it would be a five star helmet.Since I do the occasional overhead weld this means either another helmet for that or put protective barriers on the mask when doing so.It's a good enough helmet to let this go for my situation. Yours may be a deal breaker.Given the price point I would highly recommend this helmet, if you can live with the limitations. If you can't then no price is low enough. ### ⭐ Frustrating. I enjoy my retinas too much to use it. *by G***H on Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2019* This helmet looks and feels pretty good. Unfortunately, the first time I used it, it started flashing me. I turned up the delay, but no change. I thought maybe the flicker of the overhead lights somehow triggered them, but after trying incandescent, fluorescent and LED lights, I saw no improvement. I thought maybe I was obscuring the sensors, but being mindful of them didn't work. I purchased the item some months ago and hadn't had a chance to even take it out of the box, so I figured maybe the batteries were low, but a fresh pair of CR2032s measuring full voltage didn't fix them at all, I still get flashed randomly somewhere between every few seconds to a minute. After reading online, I found recommendations to leave the "solar powered" helmets in the sun a few hours to charge. Even though this one obviously uses batteries at least to assist the solar cell, I tried it. No luck.I noticed that even with fresh batteries, inserted in the manner shown in the manual, if I hold the battery button it darkens, but the second I hold a hand just partially over the solar cell simultaneously, it dies. It's as if the batteries have absolutely no purpose. I'm so frustrated and partially blind from this thing that I'm wishing I had just purchased a model that wasn't "auto-darkening". I'm all ears for suggestions, but I'm leaving 1 star until I can finish a single weld with this helmet. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/38300244-antratrue-color-wide-shade-range-4-5-13-auto-darkening](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/38300244-antratrue-color-wide-shade-range-4-5-13-auto-darkening) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-17*
