It's possible, but buying from Radiant ensures that you will get tested goggles.

They look like the Wicked Lasers goggles too, but that doesn't mean anything.

I tested a pair of FP Laser Glasses I have here this morning...
They are fairly good for diffused reflections... and looking at
a beam profile on a surface...
But the FP glasses suck at a direct hit to the plastic lens...

At what power of 532nm (for example) do your shades
start to damage the surface of the plastic lens when hit
directly with a 1mm dia. beam??

You turned me curious, so i made a test on one of the FP goggles i have around (i have 3 or 4 of them, "sparsed" around here and there :p) ..... used the border of a side flap, for not ruin the lens, anyway the material and thickness are the same of the front part.

I only have a 190mW focusable green module, at the moment, so cannot test with more power than this, anyway the tests does not look too bad ..... the "macro" pics are from 2mm, 1mm and "burning spot" 0.2mm beams, with 10 seconds of exposition each point.

the 2mm beam started to melt the plastic, but only at the surface (it moved a little bit, for this reason it's oval), the 1mm beam melted like 1/4 of the thickness, larger than its diameter, and the "burning spot" melted more concentrated and a little bit more of half of the thickness (and the reflections was turning half of the room in a lumia wheel effect, LOL), and in all the 3 cases, there was no green light passing through the red plastic (or, better said, i have not seen any green light passing through the plastic and hit the white paper that i've placed after it)

Still they are not professionally rated and certified, perhaps they work good, at least for the green (always must be remembered that they DON'T BLOCK the IR part of a non-IR-filtered green laser)

Nice test HIMNL9...
That is similar to what I found this morning... I used the center
of the lens since it was already damage by a 360mW SPYDER..

If you check the reflected laser light on a light colored surface
you can see the damage to the lens material as it happens..
(your Lumia effect as the plastic melts...)
I found that the plastic lens starts to get affected/damaged
with only 60mW of 1mm dia 532nm... I used a variable output
Laser.

Either way it is better to melt the cheap plastic lens than to
get a direct hit from a Laser..

Dog gammit, i missed it...

Just when my 100mW green arrived, as well. Ahh well, the shipping probably would have made the deal insignificant.

Hey MM...
you seem to have missed my query above...:)

I don't have data on that specifically at the moment. The goggles will prevent a 650mW 445nm laser from passing more than 5mW of light for more than 38 seconds. This is written on the item page.

BTW... I just bought a pair off your site...
