Hi guys, I just picked up a gasless mig welder and a helmet from takealot to learn basic welding. I'm wondering if the welding helmet is functioning correctly though
To test it before welding, I used a tv remote to trigger the auto darkening and what I noticed is that the centre of the lens is much darker than the corners accross all shades.
Looks more like a darker diagonal line from top left running down to bottom right of the lens and will appear to shift as I look through the helmet while holding it in my hand tilting it left and right. I will attach an example image
Is this just a cheap helmet issue or is it actually defective? because I already returned the first one to takealot and this second one does the same thing
I will appreciate advice from someone who knows more about these things than I do
