The design on Kenny Morris's new Digital Elite helmet might be called the Joker, but when it comes to serious face and eye protection the folks at Miller aren't joshing one bit. Designed for professional welders demanding control and flexibility, the Digital Elite series features the precision of a digital control that allows users to set and store their shade, sensitivity, and delay preferences for various applications: "Welding" (shades 8-13), "Cutting" (shades 5-8), "Grinding" (shade 3), and an "x-Mode" (shades 8-13). The "x-Mode" provides full protection for hose instances when there is an arc present, but the sensors are obscured. "x-Mode" eliminates interference from sunlight and out-of-position welding angles, such as those found in pipe welding, or in obstructed or hiddencavity welds.
Boiled down into plain English, what all of this means is that Miller's new Digital Elite helmet is the ultimate answer for someone who doesn't want to hard-boil their eyeballs into oblivion or irradiate their face to resemble a Chernobyl janitor just because they need to chop, grind, or weld.

Thanks to four independent arc sensors that respond in 1.20,000 of a second, Kenny doesn't have to worry about keeping potatoes on hand to alleviate the associated discomfort of a nasty flash burn. beyond the capabilities of sensors obscured due to an unexpected glimpse of harsh light, "x-Mode" steps in and provides full protection.

Although this glove is not intended for use while welding, the Miller Metalworker glove is designed to cope with the daily demands of the metalworker and material handler.
Miller doesn't mention this...
Miller doesn't mention this as an added bonus, but the semi-shielding provided by the Digital Elite over the ears helps to squelch loud noise. With the Digital Elite set to "Grinding" (shade 3) and the Miller Metalworker gloves, Kenny will have this headlight bucket whipped out in no time at all.
