Hard work never felt so easy!

The Helix CLT fits perfectly with Optrel’s helmet-independent fresh air system Swiss Air. But that's not all. Because now you can also weld, cut, or grind with the Helix Pure Air CLT as a fresh air helmet in combination with the ATEX-certified e3000X PAPR system.

Clean and fresh air is channelled directly into the helmet, where it circulates around your head, protecting you perfectly and keeping you pleasantly cool at the same time. This makes Helix Pure Air the first helmet of its kind in the Helix family.

An ATEX-certified PAPR system such as the e3000X provides clean and fresh air and protects you from the harsh reality of smoke, aerosols, dust, and harmful gases. All this is in combination with the usual advantages of Helix: It is lightweight, easy to adjust, and perfectly balanced – thanks to the innovative slide-up technology.

Optrel Welding Helmets FAQs

Answers for buyers choosing a premium auto-darkening helmet, from light state and colour view to lenses, power and care.

What is a low light state and why might it matter to me?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

The light state is how dark the filter looks before the arc strikes. Many auto-darkening filters sit at a fairly dark light state, which can make it hard to position the torch, inspect a weld or grind without lifting the helmet. A filter with a much lighter light state, a number closer to 2 than 4, lets you see the joint more clearly between welds.

That can mean less helmet flipping and less eye strain, especially on fine TIG work or in dim workshops. The benefit is mostly about comfort and accuracy: the filter must still darken fully to the correct protective shade when the arc starts. Check the maker's data plate and manual for the light state and dark shade range.

What does true colour view mean on an auto-darkening filter?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

Standard filters tend to give the work a strong green or yellow tint. A true colour filter is designed to show a more natural colour range, so you can tell the weld pool, heat tint and surrounding metal apart more easily.

It is a feature of the filter design, not a separate safety rating, and makers describe it in their own terms. The protective shade, optical class and UV and infrared protection still matter just as much, so compare those on the data sheet as well. If you do detailed or colour-critical work such as stainless TIG, a more natural view is often appreciated, but it is a comfort and visibility choice rather than a necessity.

How do I pick the right shade setting for my welding process and current?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

The correct shade depends mainly on the process and the welding current. Higher current gives a brighter arc and needs a darker shade. Common guidance is to use the maker's recommended shade table for your process and amperage, and to prefer the suggested shade rather than the minimum.

A sensible method is to begin with a shade that feels slightly darker than you think you need, then move lighter in small steps only if you cannot see the pool, staying within the recommended range for that process. Never go lighter than the range for your job just to see better. Your helmet manual and your risk assessment should have the final say.

When should I replace the cover lenses?icon-minus-redicon-plus-red

The outer cover lens protects the filter from spatter, scratches and impact. Replace it when it becomes scratched, pitted with spatter or hazy, because a damaged lens reduces how clearly you can see the work and the filter.

The inner lens, where fitted, should be replaced if it is cracked, badly scratched or discoloured by smoke. Cover lenses are consumable parts that exist to protect the filter, so change them before they degrade your view. Always fit the lens designed for your helmet, as shape and fit differ between models, and check the manual for the right part and how to remove and refit it without touching the electronics.
