287798 - Miller Classic FS #10 Flip-Up Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet

Miller Classic Series Fixed Shade 10 Flip-Up Welding Helmet

The Miller Classic Series Fixed Shade 10 Flip-Up Welding Helmet (SKU: 287798) represents a significant advancement in entry-level personal protective equipment for welders. Engineered for light-duty applications, farm use, and hobbyist projects, this helmet integrates Miller's proprietary ClearLight™ Lens Technology. This advanced optical system optimizes contrast and clarity in both welding and light states, achieving a 1/1/1/2 optical clarity rating. By providing a brighter, more natural color view, ClearLight™ reduces eye strain and allows operators to see the weld puddle with greater precision.

Functionally, the helmet features a convenient flip-up design. The auto-darkening lens assembly can be lifted to reveal an integrated clear grind shield, enabling the user to switch seamlessly between welding and grinding tasks without removing the headgear. The auto-darkening filter (ADF) is a fixed shade #10 with a light state of #3, offering a consistent protection level suitable for general welding applications. It utilizes two independent arc sensors and a reaction time of 1/3,600 second to ensure immediate protection upon arc strike.

Weighing approximately 14 oz (396 g), the helmet is designed to minimize neck fatigue during extended use. It is equipped with Gen 1 Headgear, which provides adjustable support and comfort. The unit is solar-powered with an auto-on/off feature, eliminating the need for battery replacements. While ideal for MIG and Stick welding, it is rated for TIG applications down to 20 amps. This model serves as the direct successor to the legacy Miller 263038 helmet, offering enhanced optics and functionality.
