Antra DP5A Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet – Digital Lens, Shade 3/5-13, Large Viewing, Tack & Delay Modes

The Antra DP5A auto-adaptive auto-darkening welding helmet is designed for welders who want consistent visibility without constantly adjusting shade settings. Its self-adaptive shading automatically responds to arc brightness, helping maintain comfortable eye protection across changing welding conditions. Ideal for MIG, TIG, and Stick welding in both shop and field use.

Key Benefits

• Auto-adaptive shading automatically adjusts darkness based on arc intensity
• Auto-darkening lens with fast response at arc start
• Wide shade range with manual shade lock option
• Large viewing area for improved puddle visibility and alignment
• Tack & delay modes help reduce flicker and eye fatigue
• Dedicated grind mode for quick transitions without removing the helmet
• Comfort-fit headgear designed for extended wear

How Auto-Adaptive Shading Helps

The DP5A’s self-adaptive shading system continuously monitors arc brightness and automatically fine-tunes the lens darkness in real time. This reduces the need for constant manual adjustments when welding conditions change.

• Helps maintain comfortable visibility when amperage or material thickness varies
• Reduces over-dark or under-dark lens settings
• Improves visibility during tacking and intermittent welds
• Helps reduce eye strain during long welding sessions
• Allows you to stay focused on the weld instead of adjusting controls

Performance & Visibility

Smooth transitions between light and dark states help reduce eye fatigue during repetitive welding tasks. The larger viewing window provides better spatial awareness compared to basic entry-level helmets, making puddle tracking and joint alignment easier.

Smart Digital Controls

Digital controls allow you to switch between auto-adaptive shading and manual shade selection with lock. Adjustable delay and tack settings help tailor lens behavior to different welding styles, while a dedicated grind function keeps the lens in a light state for grinding tasks.

Safety & Protection

The lens provides continuous UV and IR protection at all times, regardless of light or dark state. Built for reliable daily use, the DP5A is designed to meet common North American welding helmet safety standards.

Ideal For

• MIG / TIG / Stick welding, Plasma Cutting
• Fabrication, repair, and maintenance work
• DIY to professional daily use
• Welders who want automatic shade adaptation without constant adjustments
