Pimax Crystal Light
Experience ultra-clear VR immersion with the Pimax Crystal Light, the streamlined and performance-optimized version of Pimax’s flagship Crystal headset—now featuring local dimming for dramatically improved contrast and brightness. Designed for sim racers, flight sim pilots, creators, and VR enthusiasts, the Crystal Light delivers unmatched clarity, industry-leading lenses, and a smooth, low-latency visual experience at a price that’s more accessible than ever.
With an incredible 2880 × 2880 resolution per eye (35 PPD), the Crystal Light brings cockpit gauges, track details, environments, and text into razor-sharp focus. Its glass aspheric lenses create a wide “sweet spot,” ensuring consistently clear visuals without constant head adjustments. Variable refresh rates (72Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz) adapt to your system’s performance to deliver fluid motion in high-speed racing or fast-paced VR gameplay.
The Crystal Light includes local dimming—a rare feature in VR headsets—providing deep blacks, heightened contrast, and improved visual realism. Whether you’re diving into a night flight, navigating dark environments, or pushing immersion in sim racing, local dimming elevates the visual experience.
With inside-out tracking for easy setup, optional Lighthouse expansion, adjustable IPD, fixed foveated rendering, and modular audio, the Pimax Crystal Light delivers elite VR performance without the cost or weight of the full Crystal lineup.
