I’m going to learn some welding and I’ve bought myself an auto darkening helmet. I tested it my holding it up to the sun, and it darkens, but stops darkening right away (depending on the delay I set). Also tried with a powerful flashlight and it does the same. Also left it outside for a while for the solar panel to maybe charge the battery, no dice. Is my helmet is defective or is it going to work as intended with real welding?

    It’s possible that the sensitivity is set to a low value. If your helmet has it, increase the sensitivity and try again.
