Claim 14:
15. A welding helmet, comprising:
an arc detection system configured to detect one or more welding arcs that occur during one or more welding operations;
control circuitry configured to lighten or darken a lens assembly of the welding helmet based at least in part on the one or more welding arcs detected by the arc detection system, and to allow a variable duration of the one or more welding arcs detected to be reset by the arc detection system for welding arcs of the one or more welding arcs that have an arc intensity value greater than a predetermined arc intensity, wherein the predetermined arc intensity is higher than a threshold intensity level where the lens assembly transitions between a lightened state and a darkened state; and
a storage device configured to store the variable duration of the one or more welding arcs detected by the arc detection system that can be reset, where a first date provides a reference point relating to an earliest recordable sum of the variable duration of the one or more welding arcs per day, a second date is an earliest date chosen by a user to reset the variable duration of the one or more welding arcs per day, and a third date is a latest date chosen by the user to reset the variable duration of the one or more welding arcs per day.
