1007.011 - Optrel Neo P550 Green Auto-Darkening Welding Helmet Shade 9-13

Optrel Neo P550: Advanced Technology in a Classic Design

The Optrel Neo P550 Welding Helmet (SKU: 1007.011) represents a significant evolution in the Optrel product line, merging the proven ergonomics of the P550 shell with cutting-edge Auto-Darkening Filter (ADF) technology. Designed for professional welders who demand reliability and clarity, this helmet introduces True Color View to the mid-price segment. This feature allows for a realistic perception of colors, enabling welders to see the weld pool, heat-affected zone, and base material with unprecedented clarity compared to standard green filters.

Efficiency is at the core of the Neo P550's design. The helmet features a new energy concept that includes a "Super-Sleep-Mode." This intelligent power management system ensures the helmet remains ready for action for approximately 3,000 hours without requiring a battery change. This longevity significantly reduces downtime and maintenance costs associated with frequent battery replacements. The ADF is powered by a combination of solar cells and replaceable batteries, ensuring consistent performance in various lighting conditions.

Technical precision is maintained with a rapid switching time of 0.1 ms (at room temperature) from light to dark, protecting the user's eyes immediately upon arc strike. The helmet offers a variable shade range of 9 to 13, adjustable via an external knob, making it versatile for MIG, TIG, and Stick welding processes. With three sensors, the detection system is robust, minimizing the risk of flashing even in challenging positions. The lightweight polymer shell, weighing only 495g, ensures that the helmet can be worn for extended periods without causing excessive neck strain.
