12 best optrel auto darkening welding helmets

Product description

The panorama view in connection with the 2.5 brightness level - as well as the detailed colour rendering - makes it possible for the welder to experience an entirely new visual dimension. Fully automated welding mask with extra-large field of vision: the nose cutout floats above the nose to position the auto-darkening filter closer to the welder's eyes. The Optrel Panoramaxx offers a 6 times larger field of view compared to standard welding helmets. True-Color filter protects at shade levels 2.5/5-12M with Autopilot (automatic shade selection), +/- 2 individual shade-preference adjustment, sensitivity control and opening delay with optional twilight function. Features a high-performance solar cell and a lithium-polymer energy pack that can be recharged with a USB- cable, the panoramaxx is fast becoming the energy-independent, maintenance-free welding helmet for professional users. Application ranges: Any electric arc welding process, Electrode Welding (Stick Welding, SMAW) / MIG / MAG (GMAW) / GMAW, High melting rate process / Flux Cored, Wire Welding / TIG welding (GTAW) / Plasma Arc Welding / Plasmacutting & Oxy-gas Welding.

• Panorama field of vision offers a 6 times larger field of vision than standard welding helmets - and is still a lightweight at only 550 g.
• True Color View - specially developed UV/IR filter allows the realistic color perception typical of optrel, bringing color to the welder's world.
• Autopilot - Detection of the arc brightness and fully automated shade level adjustment from 5 to 12. * If preferred, the Autopilot can be deactivated for manual shade level selection.
• Multi-sensor detection - The completely redesigned controls of the 5-sensor array ensure the perfect regulation of the auto-darkening filter.
• State-of-the-Art power technology - With its rechargeable power-pack, changing batteries is no longer necessary.

The crystal 2. 0 lens has fully automatic shade 4 to 12 Arc brightness detection with Twilight feature to gradually bring the lens back into light state from welding state, reducing eye strain. Optra autopilot automatically adjusts the shade level based on the brightness of the arc or flame. The Auto-Dark lens can also be operated in fully manual mode with infinite shade adjustment between shades 4 and 12 for a custom view of the arc. The crystal 2. 0 welding helmet also has improved true color Technology, which allows for realistic color perception in light or dark States. It scores a perfect 1 rating for optical class, scattered light, homogeneity and angular dependence. The crystal 2. 0 has external controls to switch quickly and easily from weld to grind mode and back again. Delay and Sensitivity can also be controlled using the external knobs. True color - The color perception in light state is almost like looking through clear window glass and in dark mode, you enjoy a detailed and high-contrast view of the welding pool with never-seen-before clarity. True color passes more colors of the spectrum through compared to standard "Green" Spectrum welding lenses. External lens controls include infinite shade 4 to 12 adjustment, delay and infinite sensitivity Adjustment and allow for Quick switching between weld and grind modes without removing the welding hood. Heat reflecting paint - helps welder stay cooler under the hood. Patented sensor slide allows the detection angle to be reduced from 120° to 60° to prevent the ADF from responding to welding nearby. Patented Exciter perfectly centers the welding helmet when in open position for better comfort, balance and less neck fatigue. Comfort headband quickly and easily adjusts for size, forward position and top Position.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it stay on? i have a miller elite which is okay, but i hate having to remember to keep turning it on. it gies off after 15 minutes
Answer:	Yes it Stays on.
Question:	Does helmet come with extra lens
Answer:	It comes with a spare clear front cover for the lens.
Question:	How does this compare with the latest Lincoln
Answer:	Definitely clearer than the Lincoln
Question:	Is this Optrel Crystal 2.0 just as go for stick welding or considered over kill for that type
Answer:	This helmet is not "overkill" for any mode of welding. I do all three. It is light, you barely know you have it on. The 3 things I love most about it are, 1) the 2.0 neutral "off state" shade. The visibility is such that you scarcely know you are wearing a helmet. 2) The auto shade. Adjust it once to your liking and after that, whether you're welding at 50 amps or 200 amps, it adjusts automatically. 3) Although at 72 years old, my vision is excellent after high-end cataract surgery, I still put in 2.5 cheaters and the visibility of the weld pool is unmatched by any other helmet. I wear a Swiss watch, I survey with a Swiss total station and I weld with a Swiss helmet. Life is good. Well worth the extra price. Check out Baker's welding reviews on YouTube.

Optrel Crystal 2.0 Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet 1006.900

True colour vision –directly when welding.

How the weld pool melts, how the weld seam is created. You can see how the filler material is immersed in the welding pool and gain complete control over your work.

CLT offers you brilliant vision, like through a window pane. Crystal clear. And thanks to optrel Autopilot always with the right protection level.

True color means not the same as true color

As far as always the distinction can be seen upon taking a closer look. With the crystal lens technology you will recognize the difference immediately when putting it on.

The color perception in light state is almost like looking through clear window glass and in dark mode you enjoy a detailled and high-contrast view of the welding pool with a never-seen-before clearness.

Product description

The panoramaxx quattro was developed for use in heavy metal construction, where work is often carried out with a lot of energy and in a wide variety of welding positions. Especially in constrained positions, there is no straight view of the welding point. Perfect viewing angle dependence, confirmed by the best test mark of 1 according to the EN 379 standard, guarantees that panoramaxx quattro welders always have the best view of the welding process without manual adjustment of the protection level. This results in uninterrupted and fatigue-free working and improved performance. The panorama view in connection with the 2.5 brightness level - as well as the detailed colour rendering - makes it possible for the welder to experience an entirely new visual dimension. Fully automated welding mask with extra-large field of vision: the nose cutout floats above the nose to position the auto-darkening filter closer to the welder's eyes.

Question:	Will it work with glasses
Answer:	Yes! I wear readers with this helmet and also have the diopter (1.5) installed.. works with a respirator as well.. you can adjust how close the mask sits to you face with the headgear.. caution on slamming it down, it’ll hit your nose if you’re not careful.
Question:	Does a respirator fit under
Answer:	a dust mask would, but i do not know about a complete respirator. I think the Optrel website has some helmets with respirators.
Question:	What is the life expectancy of the rechargeable battery
Answer:	my understanding is that it has solar cells and rarely needs to be recharged after initial charge.
Question:	Does this have improved optics over the crystal
Answer:	I believe it has the same optics
