The Lincoln Electric Viking 3350 Steampunk Welding Helmet (K3428-4) represents the pinnacle of the 3350 Series, now updated to the 4th Generation platform. This model integrates Lincoln's proprietary 4C Lens Technology, which utilizes a specialized liquid crystal display (LCD) to filter light more naturally. Unlike traditional auto-darkening filters (ADF) that impart a lime-green tint, the 4C technology broadens the visible color spectrum in both light and dark states, resulting in a "Real Color" view. This optical enhancement is quantified by a perfect 1/1/1/1 Optical Clarity rating according to EN379 standards, indicating zero blurriness, zero distortion, uniform shade consistency, and uniform angle performance.
The auto-darkening filter features an expansive 12.5 square inch viewing area (3.74" x 3.34"), one of the largest in its class, providing operators with exceptional peripheral vision and situational awareness. The cartridge is equipped with four redundant arc sensors that ensure rapid detection of the welding arc, achieving a switching speed of 1/25,000 of a second. The lens offers a variable shade range of DIN 5-13, making it suitable for a wide variety of processes including Stick, TIG, MIG, and Flux-Cored welding. Notably, the ADF possesses a low-amperage TIG rating of 2 Amps, ensuring stability even during precision DC TIG applications. Power is supplied by a replaceable CR2450 battery assisted by a solar cell, with improved circuitry in the 4th Gen model to extend battery life.
The K3428-4 is fitted with the innovative X6 Headgear system. This suspension system is designed to distribute the helmet's 22 oz weight evenly across six key contact points on the cranium, significantly reducing pressure on the forehead and improving overall balance. The 4th Generation shell also incorporates a low-profile external grind button, allowing operators to switch between Weld and Grind modes without raising the hood or removing gloves. This feature, combined with the helmet's ability to distinguish between sunlight and welding arcs, maximizes productivity in dynamic industrial environments.
