A friend of mine used a cheap (HF) auto-darkening hood for a fairly intensive day of welding.

Next day he had spots in his vision and discomfort.

What he learned was that cheap hoods do not respond quick enough and allow a few milliseconds of UV exposure before going full dark.

The hood went straight in the trash and (happily) his vision recovered.
