I've read the various threads here concerning laser goggles. I'm looking for 532nm goggles at an optical density of OD4 (or 5).
The problem I have with Wicked is that they do not list the specs for their goggles. Laser safety is not a casual matter. I would rather not purchase something that is unrated.
Googling for Goggles on the internet reveals a variety of prices - many from $200 to $400 range. Obviously I would prefer the $30 to $50 range.
As far as I can determine... the really expensive goggles have glass lenses, whereas the sub-$100 goggles are polycarbonate (makes sense).
So the $45 question is... can someone point me to a source of goggles that actually show ratings (e.g., 532nm with OD4) that are reasonably priced? (for use with a 200mw laser)
Mahalo nui loa!
