Optrel Neo p550: Advanced Protection for Industrial Applications

The Optrel Neo p550 Welding Helmet (1007.000) represents a sophisticated evolution in personal protective equipment, combining the proven durability of the classic p550 shell with Optrel's latest Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) technology. Designed for professional welders who demand reliability and precision, this helmet introduces True Color View to the mid-price segment, allowing operators to see the weld pool and heat-affected zone with unprecedented clarity and color fidelity. By filtering the welding arc to allow more of the visible spectrum to pass through, the Neo p550 eliminates the traditional green tint, reducing eye fatigue and improving weld quality.

Efficiency is at the core of the Neo p550's design. It features a new energy concept that includes a "Super-Sleep-Mode," extending the operating life to approximately 3,000 hours on a single set of CR2032 batteries. This ensures that the helmet is action-ready whenever the job demands it, minimizing downtime associated with power management. The ADF is equipped with three high-performance arc sensors and boasts a switching time of just 0.1 ms at room temperature, providing immediate protection the moment an arc is struck. The shade level is continuously adjustable from DIN 9 to 13 via external controls, allowing for seamless transitions between different welding processes without removing the helmet.

Comfort is paramount for industrial workers engaged in long shifts. Weighing only 495g (17.4 oz), the Neo p550 is one of the lightest helmets in its class. Its ergonomic design distributes weight evenly, significantly reducing strain on the neck and shoulders. The helmet also features sensitivity and delay adjustments, giving the user full control over how the lens responds to ambient light and the afterglow of the weld seam. Whether for MIG, TIG, Stick, or Flux-cored applications, the Optrel Neo p550 delivers robust protection and superior optical performance.
