Review: High quality - I’ve been welding for a while, and this welding lens is easily one of the best upgrades I’ve made to my gear. The clarity is outstanding, both in light and dark states. It makes a huge difference when trying to see fine details. The lens also has great color clarity, everything looks sharp and natural. This has improved both my accuracy and comfort, especially during long welding sessions. It fits perfectly in my hood, stays secure, and doesn’t fog up or get scratched easily. Daniel also made an amazing job on checking with me and making sure everything was perfect Overall, this is a high-quality lens that’s absolutely worth it if you want better visibility, faster reaction time, and reliable eye protection. I highly recommend it.
Review: Awesome lens. - The lens is solid. Clear, visible even when the sun shines bright and having the setting dials on the lens is very convenient. Over all, a really great auto lens.

## Features

- GUARANTEES | All Ridge Products Royal Series 1.0 Lenses come with a list of guarantees. They come with a 90-Day money back guarantee, so you can get a refund on the lens after 89 days for literally any reason. They also come with a full 1 year warranty, which gets you a completely free replacement lens (you don't even pay for shipping) in the event any issues happen with your welding lens.
- WARNING FOR TIG WELDERS | These lenses aren't recommended to weld below 70A on TIG welding. They will slowly lose battery, and will start flashing you. You can still do TIG welding, just don't do exclusively low amperage TIG with this lens, and if you do exclusively low amperage TIG welding we recommend buying our 'King Single 2.0' lens, which works perfectly with TIG, but just doesn't have the adjustability feature.
- SPECIAL CLEAR LENSES | We offer all 3 types of clear lenses that you need with Adjustable lenses. 1 - Normal front cover lenses, 2 - Back cover lenses with holes so you can adjust the lens while welding, 3 - Back cover lenses. Don't forget to add clear lenses, to keep your lens safe and protected for years to come!
- MANY SHADES | The Royal Series 1.0 Adjustable Lenses are adjustable from shades 5-13, so you have essentially 9 lenses in 1. Plus its adjustable from the back, so if you use our adjustable clear lenses you can adjust the shade of your lens without taking it out of your hood! Plus you can use it to weld any process, at any amperage, and even can use cutting torches without having to swap lenses.
- IMPROVED CLARITY + COLOR | This lens is our clearest welding lens yet. It's clearer than any other lens, and likely currently one of the clearest in the entire market. It has improved screens + alignment, so you never see double, and you can see around your weld area while welding. A true 10/10 welding experience, that is not comparable to any other welding lens that is yet to exist. Plus each lens has it's own special welding color, that you can see in the image above.
- IMPROVED BUILD QUALITY | These 1.0 lenses have had a huge upgrade compared to other lenses. These have extremely tight tolerances + QC, so they ALWAYS are aligned perfectly. You'll NEVER see double through these lenses. Plus they're built to last forever. Other lenses break quickly, and start rattling. This never will happen with this lens, and if it does you can you can get a free replacement for up to a year with your warranty.
- SOLAR POWERED - SELF RECHARGE | These auto darkening welding lenses have built in batteries, and solar panels. The solar panels recharge the lens, so you never need to worry about batteries again. Note that the solar panels don't charge in the sun, but charge just by welding. Your weld arc recharges the auto welding lens, so you never need to manually recharge the lens either. The batteries eventually die, but they are cheap and easy to find. They are CR1025 batteries
- DARKENS INSTANTLY | The lens darkens within 1/25,000'th of a second of striking your arc, keeping your eyes perfectly safe from any arc strikes. Keeping your eyes safe is a MUST, so having a good lens is a big deal. This lens is part of our 1.0 Royal Series line, which is far ahead of anyone else currently. There's no other lens that can protect your eyes as well as this one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome lens.

The lens is solid. Clear, visible even when the sun shines bright and having the setting dials on the lens is very convenient. Over all, a really great auto lens.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hands down the best lens on them market at an incredible price!!!
*by A***R on December 2, 2025*

I have had several auto lenses over the years. The Heir is by far the best lens I have ever owned by far. The clarity is absolutely amazing. I have used it in three different processes and several different amp ranges with zero issues. The color and brightness is superb. Thickness is perfect for both my pipeliner and pancake with room for a cheater if needed. The package is awesome and also makes for a good storage case for replacement clear lens. I would highly recommend to anyone to get one of these lenses from Ridge products. Several of my welders are already ordering.
