The middle of STAHLWERK’s range: the same True Color idea in a shell built to be worn all day.
The middle of STAHLWERK’s range: the same True Color idea in a shell built to be worn all day.
Best for: Regular welding sessions where helmet comfort starts to matter
Not into the lens technology — the €30 Worker has True Color too. Into the shell, the headgear and the wearing experience, which is the part that decides whether the helmet is on your head when the arc strikes.
At €59, the LY800H publishes a 100 × 93 mm (3.94 × 3.66 in) viewing area. A large window changes how much you can see without moving your head, and it is one of the few helmet figures that is genuinely comparable.
Every figure above comes from the manufacturer’s published specification for this reference. Fields the listing does not publish are left out rather than estimated. Market availability was verified per market on the EAN.

After an hour, more than anything else on the specification. Weight distribution, the headgear ratchet and the balance decide whether you nod the helmet down or take it off between tacks — and taking it off between tacks is how people catch arc flash from someone else’s work. A helmet you leave on is a safer helmet.
Look for the things that are stated: viewing area, optical class, switching time, and the number of arc sensors. Where none of those appear, you are buying on the brand and the shell. In this range that is a reasonable bet, and it is worth knowing you are making it.
A helmet with a memory: the shade and sensitivity you set for TIG are recalled instead of redialled.
Best for: A workshop that switches between processes and materials in the same session
A True Color lens: the green cast disappears and you can see what the weld pool is actually doing.
Best for: Anyone welding TIG or stainless, where seeing the pool clearly is the whole job
Nine stored settings, half-shade steps and the largest published window on this shelf — and a switching time that is slower than a forty-dollar helmet’s.
Best for: A shop that switches process and material all day and wants the settings recalled, not redialled
The default steel MIG wire: 0.8 mm (0.03 in), ER70S-6, on a 200 mm (7.87 in) spool that most machines take.
Best for: General steel welding on any machine that takes a 200 mm (7.87 in) spool
Aluminum filler for TIG: the same alloy family as the MIG wire, in a form you feed by hand.
Best for: Aluminum TIG work on an AC or AC/DC machine
A metal mesh whose job is to stop a live spark reaching a filter full of combustible dust.
Best for: Anyone running a powered helmet while grinding or MIG welding, where sparks fly upward
