I just bought an auto darkening helmet a little while ago for about $85 and had a few questions. First do all of them have green lenses when you're not welding, mine is quite dark green and I keep checking to see if I left the protective covering on . I find that when I'm stitching sheet metal I don't use it and just close my eyes, they're starting to get burnt and I know it's bad but even with the double halogen spot lights I can barely see anything. I've even got it set at 9-10 and it is clean.
So I'm thinking it's not worth it and I should buy a good one but if it's gonna be dark like that I guess there's no point. Does anyone know a good one to buy that's not too expensive maybe $200-300. I'll order it from the US cause everything here is marked up so high so I won't be able to try it until I get it.

Thanks,
Sean
