Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet Shade 4-13
This Westward welding helmet uses an auto-darkening filter that shifts from shade 4 to shade 13 for MIG, TIG and stick work. Analog controls let you set sensitivity and delay by hand. Two AAA alkaline cells give up to 3,000 hours of battery life. The shell carries blue, red and white graphics and meets EN379 class 1/1/1/2 for optical quality.
Welders Needing Variable Shade and Analog Simplicity
The adjustable 4-13 range suits fabricators who switch between low-amp TIG and high-amp stick on the same shift. Battery-only operation means no solar cell to keep clean or charge. Buyers who want a fixed-shade lens, true-colour view or a lighter shell should look at other models because this unit has a standard green-tint ADF and a conventional polypropylene hood.
EN379 1/1/1/2 Optical Classification
The filter is rated 1/1/1/2 under EN379, meaning top marks for optical class, diffusion, luminance transmittance and angle dependence. That single classification tells you the view will stay sharp and uniform across the whole window, which is the deciding factor for precision joints and long sessions.

Questions about this item
How do I install the compatible Westward suspension part 45M952 and what step is often missed?
Attach the 45M952 suspension to the helmet shell using the integrated mounting points, then adjust the ratchet and crown straps for a secure fit; the step often missed is setting the headgear depth so the auto-darkening filter sits at the correct distance from your eyes.
What maintenance will the auto-darkening filter need and when should the AAA alkaline batteries be replaced?
Clean the filter lenses regularly with a soft cloth; replace the two AAA alkaline batteries after approximately 3,000 hours of welding time or when the low-battery indicator activates.
What is the first limitation you hit during long welding sessions with the shade 4 to 13 range?
The EN379 1/1/1/2 optical classification means optical clarity and diffusion are rated 1, but angle dependence is rated 2, so viewing quality degrades first at extreme off-axis angles during sustained use.
