They have batteries. They also will go into a sleep mode to prevent the batteries from going dead if the helmet isn't used for an extended period.
It's a good idea to sit your helmet out in the sun for a few hours if it's been stored in the dark to bring the batteries up. You can check the helmet by pointing it at the sun, but if it has gone to sleep that may not activate it. My Lincoln helmet went to sleep and I had to expose it to an actual welding arc before it would activate again. After that, it would react to the sun.
