I am probably gonna get the OEM laser goggles. But will the 2+ Od on the goggles protect my eyes from a 22x DVD laser in a aixiz housing? How effective will a 2 OD be at shielding my eyes completely?
The OD2 goggles are good up to 500mW. With them you will be able to see the laser spot quite clearly. The transmission on a direct shot to the eyes for the maximum power will be 5mW.
And a DVD diode is only 200 mw, so only 2mw will be entering my eye if the laser hits the goggle. How long would it take for 2 mw to perminently hurt my eye?
Ok, one more question... How come the faq says that OD 3+ is only good up to 125 mw? I am going to be using a 200 mw laser, so that makes it seem as if OD 2+ is extremely low for a 200mw laser. Would OD 4+ be what I need? How come these guys are saying that OD 2 is good enough when it's not even good enough for a 125 mw laser?
