I agree Steve....
I wish I had a nickel for all the times I've flopped my regular hood down, and struck an arc, with the lenz flipped up.
Or, when welding, and struck an arc accidentally. Murphy's Laws say that when that happens, you will be looking directly at the arc. Wait a minute so the big blue dot you see goes away....and get back at it.
It's not like you don't notice you forgot to put your hood on, or the batteries went dead, or whatever else it is.
I can still see.... my cornias haven't been fried.
I have a Speedglas, genuine ANSI Z87.1, and a K-T cheapie, no ANSI approval on it. No problems with either.
