Issues and Solutions with the Yeswelder LYG M800H Welding Helmet

See my original Yeswelder LYG M800H Welding Helmet review video here - https://youtu.be/WbPcrkm0JY4

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.

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.
Yeswelder was less than useless with help. Thank Goodness Amazon had no issues or hassle for exchange.

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.
My eyes are not as good as they were at 81.
It's nice to see your up front genuine comments . Good on yer You Tube...... Shakes the product producers to the core = they had better behave? Some of you technical chaps certainly know how to put a video on that screen so you are invaluable.......
Did I get an explicit instruction/user how to with my helmets =NO.

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.

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

I have the same helmet haven't used it yet. Thank you for the heads-up

I just opened my box and my helmet is already flashing. Thank you 🙏 for your video.

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.

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

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

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!

Love the honesty, you just gained another subscriber

Service is good, I loved mine!!
Some looseness with the band.
And then another issue, there sending me a new one.

Wow great review and advise. I have the same helmet and the adjustment knob does keep clicking and does not tighten all the way up. I had to attach a dense foam pad to the back to help with the fit, although is still comes off when I lift the hood. Now flashing is when you strike an arc and it doesn't dim, this happened to me a couple days ago and though it was the battery so I replace it. Hasn't done it since but now maybe concerned. Dave...

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

Thanks for the update, great honest video

I wonder if the problems associated with DC TIG have resolved in current shipments?

DIY Homestead Projects.. I have the Yeswelder LYG-M800H, I hope I don't have any issues with it.. Thanks for the heads up on it.

I am a beginner welder your information being very helpful price point on welding helmets sometimes to me is extreme in some cases I think they're like a washer and dryer they just put their name on it if that makes any sense thank you again for your.
