Speedglas G5-01 Helmet Mounted Work Light Kit

Light Up the Darkest Welds with the Speedglas G5-01 Task Light

We've all been there: you're jammed inside a stainless steel tank or crawled under a heavy chassis, and you can't see your hand in front of your face, let alone the weld seam. You nod your helmet down, and the passive shade makes it pitch black. You need light, and you need it right where you're looking. Enter the 3M Speedglas G5-01 Task Light (46-0500-01). This isn't some cheap flashlight duct-taped to your hood; it's a fully integrated work light designed specifically for your G5-01 rig.

Seamless Power Integration
Forget about buying AA batteries or realizing your headlamp is dead halfway through a shift. This task light plugs directly into your helmet's system, drawing power from your heavy-duty Adflo battery. It’s efficient, reliable, and means one less thing to charge at the end of the day. The cable routing is clean and professional, with included clips that keep wires tucked away so they don't get caught on obstructions while you're maneuvering in tight spots.

Built for the Grind
Welding is a dirty, hot, and abusive job. A standard plastic lens wouldn't last a week against heavy spatter. That's why 3M included a dedicated protection plate on this light. It takes the hit from sparks and slag so your LED lens stays crystal clear. When the cover plate gets pitted, you just swap it out like you do your main grinding visor. It’s built to survive the same harsh environments your G5-01 was made for.

Precision Visibility
The light casts a bright, neutral beam exactly where your eyes are focused. This is a game-changer for setting up your start point in dark corners. You can see your fit-up clearly, check your stick-out, and ensure your ground is good before you ever pull the trigger. Once the arc is lit, the extra ambient light helps you see the surrounding joint, not just the puddle, giving you better spatial awareness. Upgrade your G5-01 with the tool that lets you see what you've been missing.
