I've never tried it, and don't have the need to, so I'm not doubting you. I just don't see how the halogen could provide more light than an arc bright enough to really ruin your evening.

Matt, I don't have an explanation for you... As others have noted what works for some people might not work a whit for others...I have just been welding for a lot of years and have found some things that help me.... Scott asked for help seeing what he is doing when welding thin guage material, and so I told him what works for me...When I am welding, it sometimes helps to be able to see faintly lit reflections off various parts of the work in the field of view in order to establish reference points and know where I'm at as I go...Just my $.02. - Rob
