K3616-4 - Lincoln Viking 3350 Born To Weld 4th Gen Auto-Darkening Helmet

Lincoln Viking 3350 Born To Weld: Precision Optics for the Professional

The Lincoln Electric Viking 3350 Born To Weld (K3616-4) represents the pinnacle of welding helmet technology, designed specifically for professional fabricators who demand the absolute best in optical clarity and comfort. As part of the 4th Generation of the renowned 3350 Series, this helmet integrates Lincoln's proprietary 4C Lens Technology. This advanced liquid crystal display (LCD) enhances the visible color spectrum, removing the lime-green tint found in standard auto-darkening filters. The result is a true-to-life view of the arc, puddle, and base material, allowing for greater control and higher quality welds.

Optical performance is quantified by a perfect 1/1/1/1 rating according to EN379 standards. This score confirms that the lens excels in four critical categories: optical class (blurriness), diffusion of light (clarity), variations in luminous transmittance (shade consistency), and angle dependence (uniformity). With an expansive 12.5 square inch viewing area, operators have a wide field of vision, reducing the need for constant head movement and improving situational awareness in complex fabrication environments.

Comfort is paramount during long shifts, and the K3616-4 addresses this with the innovative X6 Headgear. This system contours to the operator's head, distributing weight evenly across six key contact points to eliminate pressure and optimize balance. The helmet also features a low-profile external grind button, allowing welders to switch seamlessly between weld and grind modes without removing their gloves or lifting the helmet, thereby maintaining safety and productivity.

Key Technical Features

• 4C Lens Technology: Broadens the color range in both light and dark states for a clearer, crisper view.
• External Grind Control: Low-profile button allows for quick mode switching, reducing downtime.
• Superior TIG Performance: Rated for low-amperage TIG welding down to 2 Amps.
• Dual Power Source: Solar cells assisted by a replaceable CR2450 battery ensure long operational life.
