New optrel vegaview2.5 helmet sets a record with the brightest view in light state
Autodarkening helmet features shade level 2.5 in light state and grind mode
optrel inc., the global innovator of autodarkening lens technology for welding helmets, announces the introduction of the new optrel vegaview2.5 autodarkening welding helmet. The vegaview2.5 sets the world record for brightest view in light state with a shade level 2.5.
“Most autodarkening welding helmets offer a shade level 4 in light state, which is often too dark for welders to view when they inspect their welds or grind,” said Renee S. Bessette, Vice President of Marketing and Operations for optrel inc. “Through optrel’s latest innovation in optical technology, the vegaview2.5 provides welders with a 400% brighter view of their environment. This not only improves the welders’ overall safety, it improves their productivity by eliminating the need to interrupt their work to don safety goggles or face shields when they grind.”
In addition to its brightest view in light state, the vegaview2.5 also offers welders and metal fabricators additional optical and productivity benefits.
“With its clear view and True Color Filter, vegaview2.5 is an ideal helmet for tack welding as it allows welders to make more accurate electrode placements,” said Bessette. “It also reduces eye strain often experienced when welding with other autodarkening helmets.”
The vegaview2.5 helmet retails for USD $372.37 and is now available through welding and personal protective equipment distributors in the United States and Canada, and through optrel’s new web shop www.optrel.com/usa.
optrel will showcase the new vegaview2.5 at FABTECH from November 9 – 12, 2016, at McCormick Place in Chicago, IL. optrel will be located in booth #N26059.
