Solar Powered Welding Helmet

The latest innovation in solar power doesn't use the sun's energy at all. Instead it uses man made solar radiation to darken the mask of a protective welding helmet. This ANSI Approved helmet has a shield lens that darkens instantly when welding begins and clears when welding stops. The mask can witch easily between shades from 9 to 13 with 1/10000 second reaction time and has a two-way adjustable headband that ensures a comfortable fit.

We haven't tested this helmet ourselves here at Solar Power Authority but the idea is sound and the technology is spot on! We found the mask for just under $70 with several reviews here and a competitor mask that's a bit more expensive (featuring German engineered glass and an internal 3V lithium battery pack) here. Both pages feature at least one review though the first, less expensive solar welding mask has a few more reviews. If you're into MIG or TIG Welding and like cool technology and saving energy then check these masks out!
