    Welding mask and fluorescent lighting while welding at night

    I have a great cheap auto darkening mask that works fine for mig welding in the day light but when welding in my shop lit with fluorescent lighting it will trigger the darkening even at the lowest sensitivity setting. Also while tig welding with the sensitivity cranked up I will still get flashed occasionally during a low current arc. Who can reccomend a good mask that won't be effected by fluorescent lighting but will pickup low current tig welding?

    Thanks

    Hi Phiber and welcome to the forum. We like pictures here so be sure to include some showing your work. Also, keep an eye out for the next contest here. The odds of winning a great new Longevity machine are very good. When you get a chance post a bit about yourself in the introduce yourself forum so we can get to know you.
    I think most helmets will go off when looking directly at fluorescent lights. That being said, I have a Longevity helmet and have a florescent light directly above my welding table and the helmet will not close unless I look directly at the light. I use this helmet for a lot of low amp TIG welding with great results.
