Auto Darkening Welding Helmet, Large View, LYG-M800H

First time purchase of a welding helmet. I am an online and self taught hobbyist. I wanted an auto darkening, adjustable, reasonably priced unit. This helmet delivers that. Comfortable, not heavy, optics performed flawlessly with a great viewing area that I experienced. The tightening knobs on the sides of the helmet (to keep it flipped up) aren't the strongest in build, but do the job if you crank them down to the point you fear breaking them. Is it "pro" grade? I'd guess that the plastic shroud, headband and tightening knobs are not quite that robust, but the optics seem very much so. Great range of adjustment (I used a 100 watt clear glass incandescent bulb to simulate an arc light for initial testing) with adequate delay and darkness ranges. I've worn "pro" hard hats for quite some time so it's a fair comparison as far as suspension and adjustments. For the price? Fantastic value and I've got around 5 hours of welding (actual arc in use) and have had zero issues with it.

This is a quality find at a very reasonable price. I love the very fast bigger screen that will shut itself off when you set it down for 20 minutes. It has the usual electrical adjustments but what is really nice are the four different adjustments to the position of the helmet. I was able to adjust the helmet support so I could have goggles on over my bifocals all of the time I am welding. I can flip it up and grind without getting debris in my eyes. It is light enough, I can wear it for hours and just move through my projects with out taking it off and on.

Bought this along with two other Yeswelder helmets and an ArcCaptain helmet. All of which have the larger viewing lens. I needed to see In real time if the helmet would work with my eyeglasses. So I bought all four to try on. My previous helmet was a cheaper YesWelder that had a smaller lens, fogged easily in humidity and I struggled to see my welds. This particular helmet has the same cheaper head strap design and tightening knob in the back. It works for me as a diy welder. The strap on every helmet I bought, arrived warped out of shape. It’s has ample room inside for my prescription glasses. I didn’t choose to keep this helmet but it seemed like a decent option for the price and the black yellow dot design was cooler in person than what I expected. I don’t really care for the yellowish tinted lens. For the price, this is a decent helmet overall. The helmet ended up choosing was the ArcCaptain seen in the last few pics. Better viewing area, more internal clearance, better adjustment knobs. The last pic shows the adjustment straps compared with YesWelder on the left and ArcCaptain on the right. Welded with the ArcCaptain last night and I can finally see my welds clearly.

The Helmet is very good, and the auto darkening is very fast reacting. Amazing quality for the price, I love it. The sensors work great and I’m in love with the design I got many compliments on it.

The color of this looks way better in person than the pictures. Used it today building a workbench in my shop. It worked just fine. The bigger lens makes visibility a lot better. I'm not a professional welder. But I've been building bumpers on my vehicles, workbenches, doing my own exhaust, building shelves and stuff like that for about 25 years. Today was my first day using it, hopefully it holds up

EDIT- Im pretty happy to report that yes welder reached out to me to ask me about the product and what happened. They offered me a full refund for the product since it seemed to be defective. They said they were sorry that this was my first impression and they hoped id give them another shot. You just dont see customer service like that anymore. They are apparently monitoring their reviews and taking action when things go wrong. That's almost unheard of these days. They didnt ask me to edit my feedback either. They just said they were sorry that was my first impression and they hoped the refund would convince me to try something else they make. I mean ... thats gold standard customer service thats what we all hope a company will do when we buy their product. For that alone they can have 5 stars back. Im just a hobby welder i fabricate things for me and friends so take my opinion with a grain of salt. HOWEVER, my father who taught me how to weld was a 40 year boilermaker and in the last 10 years of his welding career, an ICAR instructor certified, and the assistant dean of votec at a community college heading...you guessed it...the welding program. So im not coming from total ignorance here. One. The helmet is cheap. Yes thats nice. But its cheap for a reason. Two the head gear on this thing will break almost immediately. I had it for three weeks I think and it broke I used it maybe 4 days in those 3 weeks maybe 5. Which is like ok so immediately spending another 20 bucks at least on top of the cost of this helmet. Three the control knobs on the outside of the mask leave a lot to be desired. They dont stay put well, they are very fiddly and like to move on their own messing with your settings. As well, the selector switch for weld cut grind mode is very very cheaply made so flimsy I almost dont want to swap modes ever for fear of breaking it. 4 the lenses on the big face helmets are like 2 mm different than most which means if ypu aren't careful about lense replacements you end up with a Crack that let's gunk onto your main screen so..either have to get specific lenses or clean it a lot more. Other than that stuff, so far the actual shade seems to work fine. It's not the best it doesn't have the best sensitivity etc but its 50 bucks ya know for what it does it does it fine. It's just the fit and finish leave a lot to be desired. If I did it all again, id get a lincoln viking or a Jackson or hobart or Miller.

It arrived the next day after placing the order. The helmet build seems solid with plenty of room for my respirator. It took a couple of minutes reading the instructions, but I figured out the settings. Once I started to run a bead it was evident that this helmet was a game changer. The field of view is amazing, but when you see the Tru Color and the clarity of the view! Wow it is something to behold. The control knobs are on the outside of the helmet, and very easy to adjust on the fly. the test button is on the inside which is nice that it is cause once you test, it is out of the way. The knobs that lock the helmet up really need to be tight, the sweet spot that holds it up and still lets you flip it down can be elusive. BUT with the view through the lens, I find I put it down and go to work. There is no need to do a lot of flipping. Its is a quality Helmet that works perfectly, the price is right, the build quality is evident, and the spare screen protectors are a plus. Get one!

YESWELDER LYG-M800H Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet: Complete Usage Guide Understanding your welding helmet's protective technology The YESWELDER LYG-M800H is an auto-darkening welding helmet designed to protect your eyes and face during welding, cutting, and grinding operations. This helmet features four independent arc sensors that detect welding light and automatically darken the viewing lens within 1/30,000 of a second, providing continuous UV/IR protection at DIN 16. YesWelder +3 The helmet's True Color technology reduces the traditional green tint common in welding helmets, allowing you to see your work more naturally while maintaining full protection. YesWelder WeldingPros The helmet operates using a combination of solar power and a CR2450 lithium battery, ensuring reliable performance even in varying light conditions. BestWeldingGears manualslib With an adjustable shade range from DIN 5-13 and three operating modes (weld, cut, and grind), this helmet adapts to multiple metalworking applications. YesWelder +2 The large 3.93" × 3.66" viewing window provides excellent visibility, while external control knobs allow adjustments without removing your gloves. YesWelder +2 Initial setup transforms the helmet from box to workstation Before your first use, several setup steps ensure optimal protection and comfort. Begin by verifying the pre-installed CR2450 battery functions correctly by pressing the reset button - the lens should momentarily darken. manualslib Install the protective lens covers on both sides of the auto-darkening filter, as these consumable layers protect the expensive filter from spatter and damage. manualslib Adjusting the headgear properly is crucial for both comfort and safety. The helmet features four adjustment points that work together to create a secure, comfortable fit. manualslib Start with the top adjustment to set the overall head size, turning the knob until the headband sits comfortably around your head. Next, adjust the tightness control at the back for a secure fit without excessive pressure. The angle adjustment uses multiple pin positions to tilt the helmet for optimal viewing angle - experiment to find what works best for your typical welding positions. Finally, set the distance adjustment to position the helmet at a comfortable distance from your face, typically leaving 1-2 inches of clearance. The external controls require initial configuration based on your welding process. The sensitivity control knob adjusts how easily the sensors trigger darkening - set this to mid-range for MIG welding, higher for TIG work, and lower for stick welding. The delay control determines how long the lens stays dark after the arc stops, typically set between 0.1-0.3 seconds for most applications but extended to 0.5-0.8 seconds for high-amperage work where metal continues glowing after the arc ceases. manualslib Operating modes match protection to your metalworking task The helmet features three distinct operating modes selected via the mode control. Weld mode provides standard auto-darkening for all welding processes, with the lens transitioning from shade 4 to your selected dark shade (9-13) when detecting an arc. This mode suits MIG, TIG, stick, and flux-core welding applications. YesWelder WeldingPros Cut mode optimizes sensor response for plasma cutting operations, accommodating the different light characteristics of cutting arcs. Grind mode disables auto-darkening entirely, maintaining shade 4 protection for grinding, cutting with abrasive wheels, or metal preparation - never attempt welding in this mode as the lens will not darken. WeldingPros Amazon Shade selection depends on your welding process and amperage. For TIG welding below 50 amps, use shade 10; increase to shade 11 for 50-150 amps, shade 12 for 150-250 amps, and shade 13 for work above 250 amps. MIG welding typically requires shade 11 for light work under 150 amps, shade 12 for medium applications up to 250 amps, and shade 13 for heavy-duty welding above 250 amps. Stick welding follows similar guidelines but may require one shade darker due to the typically brighter arc. Plasma cutting varies widely - use shade 4-6 for low-amperage cutting under 20 amps, shade 7-10 for medium work, and shade 11-14 for high-amperage cutting above 100 amps. manualslib Daily operation requires systematic safety checks Each welding session should begin with a comprehensive equipment check. Inspect the outer lens cover for cracks, heavy spatter buildup, or scratches that could impair visibility. Clean all four arc sensors with a soft, dry cloth - even partial obstruction of one sensor can cause inconsistent darkening. Test the auto-darkening function by pressing the reset button while looking through the lens at a bright light source. The lens should darken immediately and return to clear state when released. manualslib Position yourself so the arc sensors have a clear line of sight to your work. The sensors function effectively within a 45-degree angle to the arc, but extreme positions may cause delayed or missed triggering. Always wear safety glasses with side shields beneath the helmet - this provides backup protection and shields against peripheral hazards. ManualsLib When working overhead or in tight spaces, be especially vigilant about sensor positioning and consider increasing sensitivity settings to ensure reliable triggering. During welding, the helmet operates automatically once properly configured. The sensors continuously monitor for arc light, triggering darkening faster than your eye can perceive the bright flash. Between welds, the delay timer keeps the lens dark briefly to protect against afterglow from hot metal. If you notice the lens staying dark too long, reduce the delay setting; if your eyes experience discomfort from metal glow after welding stops, increase the delay time. Maintenance preserves protective capability and extends equipment life Regular cleaning after each use prevents buildup that degrades visibility and sensor function. Wipe the helmet shell with a damp cloth and mild soap solution, avoiding harsh chemicals that could damage the plastic. Clean the lens covers with a microfiber cloth, using lens cleaning solution for stubborn deposits. Never use abrasives or solvents on the auto-darkening filter itself - only clean with a soft, dry cloth when absolutely necessary. manualslib Replace the outer lens cover when spatter accumulation impairs visibility or scratches develop. To replace, push down the corner snap, rotate the frame clockwise to release, and lift out the old cover. Install the new cover by reversing this process, ensuring it seats properly in the frame. The inner lens cover replacement requires carefully prying the old cover from its groove in the gasket - work slowly to avoid damaging the seal. Press the new cover firmly into place, verifying complete seating around the entire perimeter. manualslib Battery replacement becomes necessary when the low battery indicator illuminates red, signaling approximately 2-3 days of remaining power. Remove the lens assembly by carefully disconnecting the cable, then extract the old CR2450 battery. Install the new battery with the positive (+) side facing up, reassemble the lens, and test function before use. manualslib The solar cell extends battery life significantly - expect 3000+ hours from each battery under normal conditions with adequate ambient light. BestWeldingGears Troubleshooting resolves common operational issues When the lens fails to darken, first verify you're not in grind mode, which disables auto-darkening. Check battery condition and proper installation, ensuring the positive terminal faces upward. Clean all sensors thoroughly - even slight contamination can prevent triggering. Increase sensitivity settings if working in bright ambient light or with low-amperage processes. For inconsistent darkening, examine your working angle relative to the sensors and adjust your position to maintain sensor visibility of the arc. manualslib If the lens remains dark after welding stops, reduce sensitivity settings to prevent false triggering from ambient light. Check for hot metal in the sensor field of view that might maintain darkening. Verify delay settings aren't set excessively high - most applications work well with 0.1-0.3 second delays. manualslib Persistent darkness might indicate electronic failure requiring professional service or replacement. Comfort issues often stem from improper headgear adjustment. Systematically work through all four adjustment points to optimize fit. Headaches typically indicate excessive tightness - loosen the rear adjustment while maintaining stability. Neck strain suggests improper balance - adjust the top strap and angle to better distribute weight. For users requiring magnification, install cheater lenses with the flat side toward the auto-darkening filter to minimize distortion and fogging. manualslib Safety compliance ensures maximum protection This helmet meets multiple safety standards including ANSI Z87.1-2015, EN379 CE, and CSA Z94.3, certifying its protective capabilities when used correctly. WeldingPros BestWeldingGears However, certain limitations require additional precautions. The helmet isn't recommended for continuous professional use exceeding 8 hours daily due to its lighter construction. WeldingPros Avoid using around explosives or corrosive chemicals that could compromise materials. Never attempt overhead welding with this model as the lighter shell provides insufficient protection from falling spatter. ManualsLib Always maintain awareness of welding hazards beyond light exposure. Arc rays cause severe burns to unprotected skin - wear appropriate protective clothing covering all exposed areas. Welding produces toxic fumes requiring adequate ventilation or respiratory protection. Hot metal and sparks present burn hazards extending well beyond the immediate work area. Noise from welding processes, particularly plasma cutting and grinding, mandates hearing protection to prevent permanent damage. ManualsLib Store the helmet in a clean, dry location between uses, protecting it from impact and temperature extremes. Keep spare lens covers and batteries readily available to avoid work interruptions. Register your purchase for warranty coverage and maintain purchase documentation for the one-year warranty period. When the helmet eventually requires replacement, look for visible damage to the shell, persistent electronic failures, or degradation of the auto-darkening filter's optical clarity. Conclusion The YESWELDER LYG-M800H auto-darkening welding helmet provides reliable eye and face protection for hobbyist and light professional welding applications. Success with this equipment depends on proper initial setup, appropriate mode and shade selection for your welding process, and consistent maintenance of sensors and lens covers. While not suitable for heavy industrial use, this helmet offers excellent value for DIY enthusiasts, vocational students, and professionals doing light to moderate welding work. WeldingPros By following these comprehensive usage instructions and maintaining vigilant safety practices, you'll achieve optimal protection and performance from your welding helmet while developing your metalworking skills safely and effectively.
