I ain't no old timer. Just sharing my experience in the last workshop I was in. I Have a cheap Lincoln electric helmet. It is handy but I wish had spent a bit more money for a better one. I am missing grinding mode and shade 5 otherwise works well

you can get 'goggles' auto darkening for welding, last time I checked about $400
If the $50 one i posted a link to above is ok for starting out? Kind of just want to go with that budget wise

Looks fine, at that sort of money you can guess it won't be perfect, but enough to learn with.

My auto darkening helmet stays on the wall, I prefer a standard lid. Bloody things are hopeless when you are working close to another welder,

if the lights enough to trigger the helmet, you should consider using curtains to protect yourself
