Thanks Dillon! I really appreciate your kind words my brother! 🙏😊These hoods have really improved my welding and helped me see so much better! 👍

Thanks! I’m sure you’ll like it. It really has improved my welding due to being able to see everything so much better!😊👍

Hey, that’s great! I’m glad you like it. I agree and I don’t think I can go back to the old green lens ones after using this true color technology. 😁👍

Dick 😂😂😂😂😂

@@jakerooz9313 I wear glasses too!

Thanks for your nice comments! I appreciate it. They really are great helmets. 👍

You are very welcome! 😁👍

Thank you for the nice comment! 👍😁

Thanks Ray! Glad it helped.😀👍

Thank you! 😊🙏

I think you’re going to really like it.😁👍

Bummer! ☹️

Exposure to the phantom virus

Hi Jaime, I think you’re going love it. Let me know in the comments when you get to weld with it. I would love to know what you think about it. 👍😀Don

@@PranaTech Will do

@@1337rigo I already did n bought the miller elite 10x better.

You are very welcome!😊

Update please. I’ve read that people have experienced flashes and back straps have issues with adjustment

Good morning! Ok, I’ve been running these helmets for quite a while and I will give you my experience. The headgear is junk. Mine stopped working after 4 months when the back ratchet failed and wouldn’t stay tight anymore. I first replaced it with a miller set and it was better but recently I replaced it with a Lincoln Viking X6 set and it is amazing now. It installs with no modifications at all.👍 Ok, flashing. The only time that I have ever been flashed is when Tig welding thin steel at low amperage’s. It has only occurred once in a while and I always attributed it to dirty materials or me not having the arc sensors clear to the welding arc(ie: my hands or torch in the way so the sensors are blocked from seeing the arc). I will say that it never happens when welding aluminum. It annoyed me enough to purchase a Lincoln Viking helmet to have for Tig welding specifically. I spent $345 for what I consider the finest helmet on the market only to still be flashed occasionally. 🙁 After a lot of research on this subject and paying attention to when the flashing happens, I’ve determined that it only happens when I get my weld puddle too hot with carbon steel and with stainless steel when a contaminant comes to the surface or oxidation from the backside of the weld comes through due to me not controlling the heat. Knowing these things, I very rarely get flashed any more. It is always when I am not cleaning things enough or too much heat. Also, I have found that grinding off all of the carbon mill scale off hot rolled steel helps to prevent this as well. Overall these are great helmets for the price. I use my Yeswelder daily for mig welding because I don’t want to beat up my Lincoln helmet doing structural mig welding. I would gladly buy another Yeswelder helmet. For the price they are the best out there especially if you put the Lincoln headgear on it. Hope this helps.😁👍Don

@@PranaTech wow it really sounds like you know what your talking about and I appreciate the complications you have encountered and how you resolved them. Because of your response and knowledge I decided to buy the same helmet as your video. Thanks again

Great! Let me know anytime if you have any questions. 😊👍

I think you’ll like it. The view is so much brighter and easier to see what your welding.👍

I’m so spoiled now because of this helmet! When I’m at someone else’s shop and borrow their helmet, it feel like I’m welding in the dark and can barely see.😊

Hi Ian, that’s great! You will really like that helmet. Being able to see what you’re welding is so much better!😁👍

Hi Doug, I’ve never had that happen but that would be a bummer. Occasionally I get flashed when Tig welding hot rolled steel that isn’t super clean. I thought it was the helmet, but it happens with all my helmets and after doing research it comes from dirty steel and the weld burns like a supernova for a second. It really stinks to get flashed!😬

🤣👍

Hi there! I set mine at the lowest setting of 9 for Tig welding and for mig welding I use 10 to 11 depending on the amperage I’m welding at.👍😊

Thanks Dave! I love mine! It has really helped my welding quality now that I can see.😊👍

Hi Dave! The knob on the side is for shade level 9-13. I just call it darkness control because some people don’t know what that term means. Have a great day!😁👍

@@PranaTech Thank you!!

@@PranaTech Thus why I asked kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ociidqmg0NPOeXU.html

My new LYD-Q800D helmet arrived today, and I can finally see what I'm doing. Thank you so much!

Hi Dave! I’m glad to hear that you are enjoying it! It really does make a difference when you can see what is happening. Enjoy! Don😊👍

It really did amaze me the first time I used this helmet. So much brighter!

Hi there, the test button should darken the lens. Also, take it outside and point it towards the sun. It will darken for sure then. If not it may need a new battery. 👍😀

@@PranaTech it did dim with the test outside. Thanks! The sensitivity has to be turned all the way looking at the sun. What are the typical settings (clock hand position) for Sensitivity and Delay for MIG welding?

Hi Eric, I usually set mine at 10 on the brightness level and I think I turned my sensitivity down one notch because when I was welding outside it will trigger just from the sun reflection on things around me. 👍Don

@@PranaTech thanks Brutha!

I don’t know if there is a way to test that, but if you are wincing then you should adjust the lens shade to a darker setting. Hope this helps.😊

Hi Steve, no I don’t get any flashes from the side with this helmet ever! 😀👍

I really like this helmet for the amazing view. I can see that if I had a smaller head it would not fit well. Luckily it fits me great.👍😀

@@PranaTech Yeah other helmets have more adjustability but unless you have a small head I don't see it being a problem, and even then you can just get a new head strap piece if you need, they can easily be changed out and are the less expensive part.

Yes, I agree👍😀

Hi Tom, you will only have the bright light of welding come in through the front of the helmet. The sides will only receive peripheral light from the arc and this is not damaging in any way. You will see what I mean once you get to welding with it and then you will see how enjoyable these helmets are to weld with.😊👍

Hi there, I find that it is very similar in color to the my Viking helmet. It doesn’t have the optical clarity that the Viking has, but it is a great helmet for quick jobs around the shop. When I’m going to be welding for long periods, I grab the Viking. If your Viking helmet bothers you, I would probably not get the Yeswelder helmet.😊👍

Hi Thomas! Thanks for your comment! I don’t solicit companies to do reviews of their welders, but if they contact me I would certainly be happy to review one. For what it is worth, I use to own an AHP 201XD Tig and it was a great machine! I learned to weld aluminum on that machine and it was a great welder. They build very high quality welding equipment! I sold that Tig only because I needed more amperage. I now have an Everlast 325 amp Tig and it works phenomenal! From what I understand Everlast is the parent company for AHP. 😊👍

@@PranaTech THAT'S FUNNY, YOU NEVER KNOW WHICH COMPANY OWNS WHAT. WOULD YOU KNOW IIF THAT YES HELMET USES A COMMON TYPE CHEATER LENS? THINKING ABOUT THIS OR THE NEW MILLER HELMET.

Hi Thomas, I tried using cheater lenses once and didn’t like them because they limited my view to only where the lens was. I then switched to just wearing reading glasses with about 2.5x and have liked that option better because wherever I look, I get the magnified view. I haven’t used the new miller helmet yet but theirs are always great. I use a Lincoln Viking 3350 for all my Tig welding because it has the brightest and clearest view out of any helmet I’ve ever tested. As my eyes get older, I need all the help I can get. I use the Yeswelder helmet for all my mig welding and it works great for that. 😊👍

@@PranaTech JUST CHECKED OUT A COUPLE REVIEWS ON THAT LINCOLN HELMET, GUESS I'LL HAVE TO ADD THAT TO THE LIST AS WELL, LOOKS LIKE A NICE UNIT WITH GREAT HEADGEAR

I had switched my headgear out on the Yeswelder to the Miller headgear and it fit perfectly. It was a great upgrade. Then I bought the Lincoln helmet and I couldn’t believe how comfortable it was. I can wear that helmet for hours and it stays comfortable. I love it so much that I bought a Lincoln Viking headgear for the Yeswelder helmet and swapped it out for the Miller. 😊👍

Hi Josef! Ok, for Tig welding I set mine to 9 or 10 on the darkness setting and I have the speed of delay set at minimum. Sensitive I have turned up to about 3/4 towards max when I’m indoors. I hope this helps! 👍😊

Hi there, no I’ve never had it flash me, but I have had it darken when I didn’t want it to. Like when I’m welding outside and just a reflection of the sun on metal would set it off. I just adjusted the sensitivity down a little and it works great.😀👍

Hi Shawn, yes they are tight but none of mine have broken when I changed out my shield. I used a small flat blade screwdriver and just popped each one out carefully.😁👍

si, es un gran casco 😁👍

I think they are all solar powered but I’m not positive on that. All of the models that I’ve played with are solar including the one in this review. They use a battery to start the lens when welding and then the solar panel takes over once the arc starts. 😁👍

Hi Cris, I haven’t noticed any side affects at all. No bright spots when I close my eyes after welding and no eye fatigue at all. The thing I’ve noticed is an improvement in my weld quality from being able to see better. 😊👍

Hello! I was using the hood on level 10 when I’m mig welding. Turn your inductance up to +7 and you will get nice clean welds and you will learn quicker and enjoy the process.👍😀

Prana-Tech thanks mate 👍🏼

Prana-Tech i been seeing for flux core on here that the leads should be swapped on front in this correct? Reverse polarity dc or something for flux welds

I was reading the manual and I believe you are right that you have to swap the leads to use flux core.👍

Prana-Tech i set mine upfully today its strange i put .8mm flux wire in and done everything i needed to and i was doin controls on front and wouldmt let me move from .9mm on the screen any ideas can put vid on my channel if ya wanna see the clip?

Hi there, no I’ve never had any burn at all from the side panels. They are shaded, just not as dark as the front panel gets. They are nice for getting a view of your surroundings if you are in a tight spot.😊👍

Hey Randal, that’s awesome! I agree, I love this Helmet too!😁👍

🤣👍 That made me almost spit out my tea! Thanks! I’m about 7 miles away to the northeast of it. I used to be stationed at the fire station right by Lil’ Abners for 5 years of my career though.😊

Hi Thomas, thank you for the kind words! Yes, I’m definitely working on that “aaahhh” thing. My wife said the same thing. 😀👍

Prana-Tech it’s not that I’d of a deal!!! The review was perfect! That is the icing on the cake!

You pop off the square frame on the inside of the helmet that holds in the darkening lens assembly. Once that is off you can lift out the lens and access the door on the upper right corner and slide it up and off. The battery slides out to the right. Replace battery and reverse these steps. 😊👍

Hi Lara, they got back to me the next morning after we last spoke. If you want to send me an email with your question I’ll forward your info to them. I’ll help in any way I can.😀👍

Any recommendations on fixing that

Hi Irvin, mine has only done that once and I believe I turned up the sensitivity a little and it fixed it. If it continues just contact Yeswelder and they will take care of it. 👍

Hi David, try turning down the sensitivity. 👍

@@PranaTech actually, turning up the sensitivity works better, but at these high levels, it goes dark under ambient light and is no better than the old passive welding helmets.

Bummer, sounds like you have a bad screen. I would email them for a new darkening unit to replace that one or just send it back. ☹️

Hi there, try turning down the sensitivity. Mine is so sensitive that it will pick up my fluorescent lights and I solved it by just turning down the sensitivity until it stopped the clicking on and off.👍😀

@@PranaTech ok thank you I was worried I broke something your review helped me with this

Awesome, glad I could help 🙏😀

It's faulty, you need to return it...Replacing the battery won't fix it.

@@Rusiputki well it got fixed doing what prana told me and I’ve been using it for months now

Thank you! I will definitely check your helmet out.👍😀

I watched your video on your channel and your helmet looks great! Is it for sale in the U.S. yet?

@@PranaTech yes helmet is on the way .instagram.com/p/B6lVgn2JMXq/?hl=zh-cn

Hi Steven, it doesn’t seem any different than any other helmet out there other than the color difference. I don’t get any eye strain or fatigue or residual bright spots when I stop welding so I believe it is safe.👍😀

Hi Tim, well that is a bummer! I have a kinda small head and after a while I bought a 3rd gen Miller headgear and it fit up really well to the Yeswelder helmet. I’ve been using it this way ever since. 👍😁

Thank you Juan!👍😀

its still called a welding helmet though. that's just what its called lol

Nekoda Haltom not amongst us guys, not amongst us!!

Hey, thanks for clearing that up for me. 😀👍

Bruh who the fuck cares

That’s not the point helmet hood same thing he’s telling you it’s just as good as the expensive helmets he tried it. I’m going to buy this helmet,he gave me more info then amazon thank you

Replaceable battery the best

@@LC-fl3zm Dude any quality Hood you buy should have a replaceable battery. Never go with a replacement lens with a non replaceable battery, you will wind up spending more money in the long run. A good Hood should have solar charging panels in the lens itself. I've had batteries that have lasted at least two years.

Sorry I don't mean to sound mean I just sound a little course when I type.

Hi Matthew, no offense taken. I did show the helmet in action in the video and shows it in comparison to my HTP traditional green lens helmet. Both helmets were shown so you can see the difference. Let me know if there was something else you wanted to see. Thanks , Don👍😁

Wow, you seem upset. I know it may be hard to imagine, but not everyone can afford a $300 to $500 helmet. Sorry you were so offended by my review. No hard feelings though, ok.😁👍
