  If your Miller Motorcycle Accessories auto-lens stays light and doesn't darken during welding or cutting, stop immediately. First, ensure the lens is turned on. If it is, verify the mode settings and adjust the sensitivity, referring to the recommendations. Also, clean the lens cover and sensors to remove any obstructions. Confirm that the sensors face the arc directly, as angles of 45 degrees or more might prevent the arc light from reaching them.

  If your Miller Motorcycle Accessories auto-lens darkens and then lightens while welding or cutting, review the sensitivity setting recommendations and increase the sensitivity if possible. Ensure the arc sensors aren't blocked from direct arc light. Check the lens cover for dirt and spatter that might be blocking the sensors. Increasing the lens delay from 0.1 to 0.3 seconds may also reduce switching.

  If your Miller Motorcycle Accessories auto-lens stays dark after the arc is extinguished, or when no arc is present, try reducing the sensitivity setting. In very bright conditions, lowering the surrounding light levels might be necessary. If the lens remains dark, press the Auto On/Off button to return it to the clear state.

  If sections of your Miller Motorcycle Accessories auto-lens aren't darkening and distinct lines separate light and dark areas, stop welding or cutting immediately. This may be caused by cracks from dropping the helmet or weld spatter. The lens may need replacement, but most cracked lenses aren't covered by warranty.

Why is there inconsistent shading on my Miller Digital Performance Motorcycle Accessories auto-lens?

  jacksonvictorAug 30, 2025
  The inconsistent or lighter auto-lens shading in the dark-state, noticeable on the outside edges and corners of your Miller Motorcycle Accessories is normal and doesn't pose a health or safety hazard. This is due to the angle of view effect, where auto-darkening lenses have an optimum viewing angle. This effect may also be more noticeable when using magnifying lenses.
