OVERVIEW

K3282-2 VIKING 1740 Auto-Darkening Hood

Elevate your welding experience with the Lincoln Electric VIKING 1740 Series Auto-Darkening Helmet. The K3282-2 model features a sleek Matte Black finish and is packed with professional-grade specifications. At the core of this helmet is the 4C Lens Technology (Clarity, Color, Carat, Cut), which provides a view of the weld that is unmatched in this price class. By improving visibility and reducing eye strain, the 1740 Series helps welders produce better welds with greater comfort.

Technical Excellence: The auto-darkening filter boasts a 1/1/1/1 optical rating according to EN379 standards, signifying the highest quality in optical class, diffusion of light, variations in luminous transmittance, and angle dependence. The lens features a variable shade range from 9 to 13, easily adjustable to suit varying amperages. For low-amp TIG applications, the helmet is rated to function reliably down to 3 amps DC and 5 amps AC. Two independent arc sensors ensure consistent detection of the arc, triggering the lens to darken in just 1/25,000 of a second.

Comfort and Usability: The K3282-2 is designed with user comfort in mind. The lightweight shell and adjustable ratchet headgear provide a secure and balanced fit. The power system utilizes a combination of solar cells and two user-replaceable AAA batteries, eliminating the need for hard-to-find lithium coin cells. The package includes a comprehensive accessory kit featuring 5 outside cover lenses, 2 inside cover lenses, a protective bag, and a bandana. Whether you are in the garage or on the job site, the VIKING 1740 delivers reliable protection and superior optics.
