It is bright, kinda like a cutting torch. I find the #5 shades that come with it perfect. Just ventilate the area you don't want to breath the smoke as it's vaperized metal. Here is the cutting speed of the 30xp, you will notice that it will actually cut 5/8". I saw a video where a guy got it to cut 3/4" plate but it was crazy slow. I find it perfect for the thickness we/I use as a bladesmith
