The Optrel Neo P550 is a Swiss made, lightweight welding helmet incorporating Optrel's True Colour Vision technology, giving welders the opportunity to experience true colour vision without having to invest in some of the more premium welding helmets on the market.

The Neo P550 utilises a more efficient energy concept with a "super-sleep-mode", meaning the welding helmet stays ready for action for action for approximately 3000 hours without changing batteries. Combined with a reaction time of only 0.1 ms after striking an ark, the Neo P550 offers quality at a sharp price point.

A classic with newest ADF technology. The optrel p550 is one of the best-selling welding helmets from optrel. With its new ADF technology it now gets even better.

SHADE LEVEL 4 / 9–13

With a seamless shade level adjustment from DIN 9 to 13, the optrel neo p550 is the perfect solution for all popular welding applications.

DELAY FUNCTION

After shutdown of the welding arc, the ADF momentarily stays closed to protect eyes from the strong afterglow of the welding seam. NEW

ENERGY CONCEPT

With its radically more energy efficient electronic system including a „SuperSleep-Mode“ the neo p550 stays ready to use for approximately 3,000 hours without changing batteries.

TRUE COLOR VIEW
