I just bought four of these 5000lm LED shoplights from Amazon, go be able to get them close to the workpieces and not have to worry too much about light entering from the back of the helmet. I'll probably mount them to a tripod.

They're bright as heck!
I'm just gonna mount them to 1" square tube with some 3/8" bolts/nuts/washers. The speaker stands that I have simply use a 3/8" threaded stud I can mount the 1" square tube to. I already used one of them when I was trying out some new dual shield wire today, and it did help out. Four of them will work great.

Yeap, I noticed that the hard way, lol. Saw a couple specks, but nothing major.Louie1961 wrote:Put clear welding helmet lens covers on them to protect from spatter. Otherwise you will ruin your lights if they are within range of the spatter.
Bright as heck, but pales in comparison to an electric arc.
I'm going to buy another pair. If your helmet is at shade 11 or higher, they don't make too much of a difference. At least not from what I can tell with my optrel.

According to science, these things add to each other so you're putting out 15,000 LUMENS in this picture. I bought one of the HF 5,000 shop lights and it helps some but not what I was hoping for. I have 2 of them and I'll see if putting them side by side helps any better.Oscar wrote:Bright as heck, but pales in comparison to an electric arc.
