Edit: I finally received my 18650 kit from JayRob. I must first thank him for his patience with me and what a great help he has been. The laser took 4 weeks to get from US to Australia O_O

Hey everyone,
Just received my Goggles from Survival Lasers. Shipping took exactly 2 weeks to get to Australia.
I bought these for blocking 445nm however since I don't have it yet I only had a red diode pulled out of a dvd burner to test these out with.
Overall the build quality is superb. Feels very solid and wraps around my face perfectly.
How it came
Whats inside
Tried my best to get a good image of the wavelengths and rating silkscreen
It says 190-470nm & 610-760nm OD4+
Laser dot from my dvd burner diode without the glasses
Laser dot with the glasses. The image turned out a lot darker than what it really is when you use the glasses
The kit finally!
Glass lens
The extra bits from the original host
445 Diode that I got from DTR
Frontview of the heatsink
Host in its parts
Driver on the pill
Assembled and soldered!
First power on test
First burning job
Quick beamshot
Control beamshot for the next set of tests
Beam through the Eagle Pair goggles. There isn't actually much of the laser hitting the envelope. That is mostly glare
Beam view from the goggles
Cheap ebay goggles (Trex) with link

Semi-final thoughts:
I love my new 445 laser!
The Eagle Pair is the pair of goggles that I would definitely recommend to anyone. They have a bit lower light visibility however they are able to block out the lower wavelength lasers and the reds as well.
Surprisingly, Both cheap ebay goggles work pretty well at blocking out some of the beam. However I feel that the second ebay set (not the Trex) works much better than the Trex ones.
Now all I need is an LPM. If anyone in Sydney has one and is willing to help me LPM all this stuff please contact me =D
Edit: LPMed at greater than 1W
