See my original Yeswelder LYG M800H Welding Helmet review video here -

[@myblues6532]

I just bought this helmet and received it today. I've been a welder for over 30 years. I've had tightening knobs break on Jackson, Lincoln and Hobart welding helmets, so it shouldn't be a surprise if this one breaks on me too. As for the flashing, the same thing can happen with expensive helmets, especially when bright sunlight is shinning directly on you or your work project. Yes the helmet head strap is kind of flimsy but it actually feels very comfortable when wearing it all day. All I can say is, this helmet does everything the expensive helmets do for one-third of the price.

[@ChristopherSalisburySalz]

I read online that the Lincoln headgear fits these helmets perfectly and is of higher quality. It goes for $21 is what the guy said online.

I have 2 Yeswelder helmets and both flash me. One is the battery powered 2.0 that I purchased on Amazon and actually got a replacement for because the first one flashed also, and one is the EH1002 that was a gift because my father in law didn't know I got the other one. When welding DC TIG they flash. AC is fine and doing stick welding is okay but there's something about the consistent arc of the DC Tig that messes with the sensor and they flash. I'll have to see what Yeswelder says as I'm still within the year warranty. I like the 2.0 but I'd be pretty leery of buying another one.

I like your videos. Try changing the internal rechargeable battery, which may not be reaching a full charge anymore, regardless of a perfectly good solar cell. Also try spraying out the control knobs with Deoxit contact cleaner/lubricant. ALL variable resistors behind those control knobs can develop carbon deposits and even flat spots...just like a noisy or scratchy volume/bass/treble/balance control on an old stereo receiver. Welding is a process that produces all kinds of fumes and smoke, etc. It is only logical to assume that the wiper and conductive traces inside those control knobs (potentiometers or variable resistors) can also get carbon deposits built up. Immediately after spraying the internals of a potentiometer, just exercise it by quickly turning it back and forth, from low to high end stop at least 30 times. Repeat that a second time and you now have a perfectly clean and lubricated control pot. Check for any loose wires or cold solder joints inside the screen enclosure as well. It's probably a very simple fix, but maybe not so simple or user friendly to get access to the actual issue. Make sure the optical flash sensors have no optical obstructions as well. You just might be able to fix the flashing issue. I am seriously thinking about buying the YESWELDER LYG-Q800D with side view. I think it might be a decent budget welding hood/helmet. I don't buy ANYTHING electronic without thoroughly checking all internal wiring, solder joints, heat sinks, etc. I often times find BRAND NEW items with very crappy solder joints inside, so I go over them with ROSIN CORE solder and not that newfangled "lead free" garbage can solder.

Mine is only about a month old and I’m getting flashed occasionally. Honestly, I’m not sure it’s fixable. It typically happens when I have a light close by and have my head at certain angles. Pretty sure it’s the sensors. That said, I like it, but I’m also working on a good sob story to the wife so I get get a Miller or Lincoln 😂 Without a doubt though, it’s a billion times better than the Harbor Freight, over priced helmet they sell for $59. That one is like trying to see through a black bag some terrorist put over your head while being kidnapped!

[@jvazquez53]

One option for future buyers: pay the extra $10 for 4 year extended protection plan. They will replace it.

[@ranacherian]

do u have the flashing issue so far?

[@WV591]

this confirms some of the negative reviews on Amazon. also switch breaking off and side knobs and flashing.

[@jollyfe]

I’ve had my $150 Miller Pro-Hobby since 2008 without a single issue. I am upgrading to a Miller Digital Elite to get the newer technology glass.

[@elkvis]

I've had one of these helmets long enough to go through several batteries. I see no reason to switch to something else. For the price, it's absolutely unbeatable. I wish the cut/grind/weld switch was a bit larger, so I could operate it with a gloved hand, but other than that, I have nothing bad to say about it. It has never flashed me, except when the battery was low.

[@kevenwilliams798]

honest and straight forward review, the flashing problem i was concerned about but still going to try this helmet. CHEERS

[@prebaned]

Got the helmet from Amazon. Knowing full well its china junk but I rolled the dice untill the money comes from a pro miller. Works well with DC tig, problem is flashing with AC tig. Specifically low current AC tig. Only fix is setting my Dynasty 280 to high pulse on AC and getting the balance to basically 95 percent EN.

Excellent video on the Yeswelder LYG M800H Welding Helmet. Thank you for sharing your experience with the helmet. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@michaelhall7921]

Very nice video Thanks. The first Trusoxin same as you helmet started flashing at a very short time use on Tig stainless. Due to it being bought from Amazon I got a refund with no need to send the helmet back. I chucked that helmet straight in the bin. I bought anothe rhelmet that seemed to have a better write up. When it came it was the same helmet (bugger) I've had it 18months and it flashed a bit yesterday & then acted normally but with a seemed to me low light level. I don't like having to get my magnifying glass to see the numbers on the dial.

[@Cody38Super]

8 months in on my LY-800D and it's been fantastic !

[@Salty_Siren07]

Thank you for the video. I’m new to welding and am terrified of being flashed. Currently shopping for a helmet and this helped. Thank you!

[@abe5471]

Thanks for the update, great honest video
