Sun-Shades ... Poor Man's Goggles for 405nm !

Just tested my rkcstr yesterday, and cuz im still saving for broadband googles... hm, what could i use?
ah - my girlfriend found someones stylish shades in the dutch pavillion ruin, laying around useless here. and wtf... the are blocking so much blu-ray light the spot seems like an LED while real over 100! excellent.


added some pictures to demonstrate
used an uv led lighter - look how dimm it gets
and on the white paper...no noticeable fluoreszence so nearly all uv seems to get lost


this is no call to use shades instead of professionall goggles when playing with lasers !!!
but when you dont have any at the moment better use brown yellow sun shades than no protection

They'll be good for pointing around with (indirect exposure), but I definately would not burn with them.

Uv coating on them.

Blu-ray is close to Uv so the glasses block it out but not completely only use if you want to show your pairs but dont have enough REAL laser safety goggles.

But blu-ray is NOT UV, and the coating will bleach much more quickly than if it were designed for that kind of exposure.

Did I say it is ****ing UV, no I didn't its very close so the sunglasses block out some of the laser light!

So stop being a smart ass and shut up and research before you speak.

There is such a thing as typing with a tone, as when something is said in a way as to imply a tone, also please practice what you preach.

Yes I admit I was a bit rude.

But he said that was true but it sounded like he was saying what I said was a lie by saying not in capitals implys to me that he is telling me that im lying about Blue-Ray being close to UV.

Thank you for apologizing to random  , fixed your spelling, well in quote at least. Yes Blu-Ray is close to UV as we've seen because it makes so many things florescent and its not easy to focus on it with your eyes, so it only makes sense that something that will block UV will block some of the close wavelengths.
