Commemorating Lincoln Electric’s 115th year in business, the company has released its 115 Year Limited Edition Viking™ helmet. The new auto-darkening welding helmet features internally mounted continuous variable control and commemorative Lincoln graphics of founders, James F. Lincoln and John C. Lincoln. Other graphics include a 115 year logo, a 1927 cross-country pipe welding project using Fleetweld® 5 and a welder repairing an airplane with a Shield-Arc® motor generator set in 1944. The helmet weighs 19oz and has a 9 to 13 shade control and sensitivity adjustments for different welding environments. The limited-edition Viking helmet has a grind mode that is suitable for weld prep and post-weld clean-up activities. It is solar-powered with battery assistance, eliminating the need for an on and off switch. In addition, the limited edition helmet has a substantial view size of 3.78 x 1.85in and top quality LCD optics that deliver a clear, natural view. Like all Viking helmets, the cartridge designs are ANSI and CAN/CSA third-party tested.
