1006.600 - Optrel Vegaview 2.5 Auto-Darkening Helmet Shade 8-12

Unrivaled Visibility with Optrel Vegaview 2.5

The Optrel Vegaview 2.5 Welding Helmet (SKU: 1006.600) sets a new benchmark in the welding industry with its world-record light state of Shade 2.5. Traditional auto-darkening filters (ADFs) often leave welders in a dim environment even when the arc is not active. The Vegaview 2.5 changes this paradigm by offering a view that is approximately 400% brighter than standard helmets. This unprecedented clarity allows for precise electrode placement and safer movement around the workspace without the need to constantly lift the hood.

Engineered for professional performance, this helmet features Optrel's signature TrueColor technology. A specially developed UV/IR filter allows a broader spectrum of colors to pass through, providing a realistic and high-definition view of the weld pool. This color fidelity is crucial for reading the heat-affected zone and ensuring high-quality welds, particularly in complex TIG applications. The helmet offers an infinitely adjustable dark shade range of 8 to 12, making it versatile enough for MIG, TIG, Stick, and Flux-Cored welding processes.

Comfort is paramount in the design of the Vegaview 2.5. Weighing in at only 482 grams (17 ounces), it is one of the lightest auto-darkening helmets available, significantly reducing neck strain and fatigue during extended use. The patented Excenter headband ensures the helmet is perfectly balanced when in the open position. Additionally, the helmet includes external controls for easy adjustment of shade, sensitivity, and delay settings, as well as a quick-switch Grind Mode that utilizes the ultra-bright shade 2.5 state for clear visibility during finishing work.

The unit is also equipped with a patented Sensor Slide, allowing the detection angle of the three arc sensors to be reduced from 120° to 60°. This feature prevents the ADF from inadvertently triggering due to nearby welders' arcs, making it ideal for busy shop environments. The Vegaview 2.5 comes complete with a helmet bag and a spare front cover lens, backed by Optrel's 2+1 year warranty.
