Look what's arrived:
My new welder's helmet. I went with a #10 lens. In direct outdoor sunlight I get a dim, green-tinted view of the world. It's bright enough that I can see what I'm doing with my hands. I wouldn't rule out the possibility of going to a darker #12, but I'm reasonably pleased. This upcoming week is going to be extremely busy for me, but at some point I'm going to need to post my calculations of reflected light intensity to give a sense of why I thought serious protection was a necessity.
As a bonus, I'm now halfway to a fun Halloween costume: Darth Vader, of the planet Vulcan.
