OVERVIEW

See the Arc Like Never Before

Step up your welding game with the Lincoln Viking 1740 ReCode Welding Helmet, a hood that proves you don't have to spend a fortune to get top-tier performance. The star of the show is the exclusive 4C Lens Technology. If you are tired of the old-school green tint that makes it hard to distinguish the weld pool from the heat-affected zone, the 1740 ReCode is the upgrade you've been waiting for. The 4C lens filters out the color saturation, giving you a crystal-clear, true-color view of your work. This means better control, cleaner welds, and significantly less eye fatigue at the end of the day.

The K3495-3 isn't just about a pretty view; it's built for the real world. It features a rugged, lightweight shell that can take the heat and sparks of daily shop life while weighing in at just over a pound. The 1/1/1/1 optical clarity rating is the best in the industry, ensuring that what you see is exactly what is happening—no distortion, no blur. Whether you are laying down delicate TIG beads or burning heavy flux-cored wire, the variable shade 9-13 lens adapts to your needs. The sensitivity and delay controls allow you to fine-tune the lens response for different environments, ensuring the lens stays dark when you need it to and clears up instantly when you stop.

Convenience is key with the 1740 Series. The external grind mode button allows you to switch tasks seamlessly without taking off your helmet or fumbling with internal switches. A flashing green LED inside lets you know you're in grind mode, preventing accidental flashes. The power system is a hybrid of solar and standard AAA batteries, so you never have to worry about finding a specialized charger or throwing away a lens because a built-in battery died. The helmet comes ready to use out of the box with a decal sheet to customize your look and extra cover lenses to keep your view pristine.
