Optrel® Crystal 2.0 Welding Helmet 1006.900

The Optrel® Crystal 2.0 auto-darkening welding hood features shade 2.0 light state that is unmatched in the world for color and clarity. 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. Optrel's 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 a 2 rating for 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.



Features

  • Crystal lens technology with shade 2.0 light state - See clearly what happens before, during and after the welding process.
  • AUTOPILOT - Detection of the arc brightness and fully automated shade level adjustment from 4 to 12. Adjusts automatically to the changing light conditions of the current welding process.
  • Twilight Feature - gradually lightens lens when switching from dark (welding) to light state to ease eye fatigue.
  • Sensitivity Adjustment - allows operator to change lens switching sensitivity for varying ambient light conditions or outdoor welding in sunlight.
  • Grind Mode - Switch quickly and easily between weld mode and shade 2.0 grind mode using external controls. There is no need to remove the welding helmet to grind.
  • 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 Excenter 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.
  • Optrel 2+1 3 year lens warranty (requires product registration)
  • Hard Hat Adaptable using Optrel's hard hat adapter.







    Comes complete with
  • Helmet bag
  • 1 extra outside cover plate
  • 2+1 warranty

    REAL Review

    I did a LOT of research before I purchased this helmet, and there is a lot of misinformation floating around this thing. Allow me to set the record straight.

    The 2.0 lens is extremely clear in the light state, colored safety glasses distort view more than this hood and it is far brighter than the 2.5 or 3 shade of other hoods. In the darkened state, it is distinctly blue/silver in color; unlike some claims of it being completely true to life. In terms of clarity it is in the upper echelon along with ESAB and Lincolns offerings. I find the ambient lighting to be very good with this helmet, allowing me to see more area around the weld puddle.

    This hood is very light at 528 grams or just under 19 oz. It only has 2 sensors that detect when to darken and 1 sensor that adjusts the tint in automatic mode, but the sensors are of high quality. I do not like the knobs being on the outside as they are at risk of breaking when dropped or you can accidentally press the grind button. Since I assume most people will be using the automatic mode it doesn't really make much sense to have the knobs on the outside for quick access. In my experience I much prefer a simpler headgear design, but this headgear could use an update. I think this hood would benefit from something like the jackson headgear, with a detent to hold the hood up and a big ratchet in the back.

    Just like the other hoods in this price range, it is not perfect. But it manages to make the difference where it counts. I think…

    Best and worst welding helmet

    On a good day this is the best hood I've ever used. On a bad day it's super easy to accidentally bump the grind button and get "flashed" when you start (at #2 shade, it's a bad flash). There's a tiny red flashing light for when you are in grind mode, but I have never seen it until after I got flashed and pull the thing off to see WTF happened.

    On a really bad day it gets tired of shading and decides to let you see your welding at the worst possible time (maybe it's broken after 3 years). New batteries made it less bad, but still bad.

    This hood has given me more arc flashes in 3 years than the the 45 years of welding before that.

    Point being at the 1st sign of trouble throw it away, what's 4 or 5 hundred dollars anyway.
