OVERVIEW

See the Puddle Like Never Before

Let’s face it: if you can't see the puddle, you can't weld it. Whether you are battling "old eyes" or just need that extra bit of zoom for intricate TIG work, the ArcOne Universal Mag Lens +1.50 is the "cheater lens" you've been looking for. Stop squinting and straining under your hood. This drop-in lens acts just like a pair of +1.50 reading glasses, instantly magnifying your view of the arc and the base metal so you can lay down dimes with confidence.

One of the biggest hassles with helmet accessories is figuring out if they will fit your rig. ArcOne has solved this with a truly universal design. If your helmet has a standard slot for a 2" x 4" inside cover lens—which most standard and pro-grade hoods do—this lens will fit. It works with vertical and horizontal mounts alike. You don't need to tape your reading glasses to your face or jam them inside the helmet anymore. Just slide this lens into the inside holder of your helmet, right behind your darkening filter, and you are good to go.

Using a cheater lens isn't just about comfort; it's about weld quality. When you can clearly distinguish the toe of the weld and the arc length, your travel speed and manipulation improve naturally. This lens is lightweight, durable, and optically clear, ensuring you don't get that "fishbowl" distortion effect found in cheaper alternatives. Upgrade your view and extend your welding career with the simple addition of the UML-150 to your gear bag.

FAQ

The UML-150 provides a +1.50 diopter magnification, which is similar to wearing +1.50 reading glasses.

It is designed to fit any welding helmet that uses a standard 2" x 4" (approx. 50mm x 108mm) rear retaining frame or cheater lens holder.

The lens should be installed on the inside of the helmet, behind the main auto-darkening or passive filter, replacing or sitting in front of the rear cover plate.

The lens is typically manufactured from optical-grade polycarbonate or acrylic plastic to ensure it is lightweight and impact-resistant.

Yes, it is fully compatible with ADFs. It sits behind the ADF cartridge, closest to your eyes.

No adapter is usually needed if your helmet has a standard 2x4 retention slot. Some specific proprietary helmets might require a specific frame, but this fits most universal mounts.

No, this is a vision aid only. You should always wear ANSI-rated safety glasses under your welding helmet for primary impact protection.

The unit dimensions are approximately 2 inches by 4 inches, designed to match standard industry cover plate sizes.
