Hi all,
I do quite a bit of welding and sometimes I have to weld in dark locations. Inside a box, a pipe, under a table and so on. I am getting on in years (61) an my eyes ain't quite the same. Even with an auto-darkening welding helmet I have difficulty in seeing where to start with the welding rod or the tig gun. I want to put a couple of bright LEDs on my helmet so I can see better in those dark corners. I think two of the Super Bright White LEDs will do the trick. Each of these has a forward voltage of 3.2 to 3.4. What size and number of batteries will I need to power these.
Thanks in advance,
Philip
