Anybody tried the goggles from Dragon Lasers? They're supposed to protect against blue, blu-ray and green, and they're only $25.

Sounds like a good deal to me. o.o

Indeed cheap protection. OD values for wavelength ranges are mentioned on the site, I do not see them on the goggles itself though. And I don't think they are certified in any way.

I've requested a copy of the certification. We shall see. If they are certified then more power to you. If not, well they're your eyes. I'm 98.2% sure who the manufacturer is. We would love to offer eye wear this inexpensive but we have never found any manufacturer who could provide inexpensive eye wear that was certified.

I received a reply from DL. Their laser protective eyewear is NOT FDA or CE certified at the moment. I was told that they are considering certification in the next several months. If that happens my company will probably import them for local national and international sale. I was also told they have 632nm 694nm 808nm 980nm 1064nm eyewear that is supposed to appear on their website soon.

I see some potential here if they do certify their eyewear. Until they do this, they can tell you whatever they want about the protection of their glasses and you get to find out if it's true. That's the hard way.

They need to demonstrate they reduce exposure by the rated OD level and that any direct exposure is mitigated for a minimum of 10 seconds.

Buy a pair, put a meter behind them, point your laser dead on at it and observe.

Certified from a company in China is kind-of-funny, they counterfeit everything there, you could never be sure the certification is real; maybe you could look-up a cert number or something but how do you know the one pair tested is what the rest will perform as; or they could simply have the "real deal" tested and then produce/ship carbon copies of the "real deal".

Yea but DL wants $19.80 just to ship them, bringing the real price to $44.80

Sort of like Fleabay, buy a 1 ounce item for $10.00 and they want $20.00 additional to ship it in a plain old bubble-padded envelope, for a true shipping cost of about $3.00

They should ship like DX does out of HK, FREE.
