GB oemlasersystems goggles (CLOSED) - Page 4

dethlore · 02-22-2012, 04:31 AM

14 on the list. We only need 11 more to get the 25% discount! And of course, the more the merrier. Let your friends and strangers know the importance of eye protection!

Bionic-Badger · 02-22-2012, 01:34 PM

Does anyone have any "clout" on PL to announce this GB? Perhaps there'd be some interest there as well.

Hargak · 02-25-2012, 04:12 AM

Count me in, Style 56, I need something 532nm down to as low as possible hoping uv and or ir but at least to 445 which is going to be the main liability here soon

Tech_Junkie · 02-25-2012, 04:22 AM

I personally use these.. ARG - Blu Ray, Argon, Blue, KTP [NR-ARG-EN207] - $80.50

But there are a few to chose from.

UV - Visible Laser Protective Filters

Hargak · 02-25-2012, 05:48 AM

Those look good for the most part, even though it seems to cut it close to 532nm hmm you think it'll work for 532? the rest of the wavelength I would use looks good.

If so, I'll take the style 35 ARG - Blu Ray, Argon, Blue, KTP glasses:

ARG - Blu Ray, Argon, Blue, KTP [NR-ARG-EN207] - $80.50

Tech_Junkie · 02-25-2012, 05:54 AM

It looks like it cuts out >540nm. Wavelengths vary some, but I dont think you'll get a 532nm to hope over 540nm. This is my opinion.

Wait a few hours and some others will jump on to give you more opinions.

Those 532nm lasers do not vary much from their wavelength because the crystals can only double the frequency to that spectral line. You should be fine, and those goggles have a wavelength margin to ensure that they will be good at that given wavelength or small variations thereof.

InfinitusEquitas · 02-25-2012, 06:59 PM

The ARG's do a great job with green lasers. There is still IR to consider, but overall, for 405-532nm they are perfect.

I tested on the side of mine with a 500mW... only IR was getting through.

dethlore · 02-27-2012, 06:37 PM

So... we have 15 reserves at the moment...

if you know any friends or family that needs or wants goggles, lets get them committed to The Order and get 10 more! Just 10 to go to get 25% off!

EDIT: we have 16. I added another to mine.

My 4 year old shows way too much interest to not get him some eye protection

Which lasers are you wanting these goggles for?
I stumbled across the "ELX" goggles (see a couple posts above) that cover just about everything you need. Red protection was 1.5-2 OD I think, but if you're just using dvd burner diodes, that should be enough.

i want to use them for a 445nm

If it's just for a 445, I think the ARG - $80.50 would be better.
ARG - Blu Ray, Argon, Blue, KTP
OD 7+ @ 190-532nm 48% VLT Orange

The scary thing about the ELX is the low VLT meaning your eyes will be dilated. But if you can only get one pair of goggles to cover your violet, blue, green, red, IR, then these are one of the very few that do all of them. Take a look at the DBD - $175 , DBY - $157.50, or the DI3 - $147 as well. No red protection, but they cover uv to 532 and 780-1100

The YLWs are also quite nice for just 445nm; however, they're more expensive ($108 I think). Very easy to see what you're doing with them, and the VLT is 73% I think, not the 50% on the site.

The ARG would be good for covering 532nm though, so he might get more utility out of those.

ARGLaser · 02-28-2012, 06:03 AM

Glad to see that list growing, I assume the GB will end once we reach the 25% discount?

^^^^ My thoughts exactly.

Yep! As soon as we get 25+ and everyone's paid, then we'll get the goggles ordered and shipped! I'm really excited to get more goggles! (I gave my 445 goggles to a friend that was lasing without protection, but I still have my 650 so I'm not totally without)

shadowhawkxx · 03-03-2012, 11:42 PM

How likely is something like this to happen again in the next several (3+) months? Not gonna have large amounts of expendable income 'til then (and I'm pretty sure I can assume this one will be over by summer).

Dr_Evil · 03-04-2012, 02:06 AM

Put my other pair down as ARG - 34. The other pair is probably going to change although the style will remain 34. The ARG will cover most of the lower wavelengths I have. A pair that covers ~600 to 1064 would be nice.

The last OEM Goggle GB was almost 2 years ago.

This is one of those time you need to jump while the iron is hot.

Bionic-Badger · 03-04-2012, 03:53 AM

Yup, about 2 years ago was the other GB. It was a great sale, and you have to jump on this shit when it happens.

At a minimum it saves you the cost of shipping.

Like Tech Junkie and Bionic Badger said, it's been a while. That was way before I joined the forum and got addicted to lasers

I'm hoping we'll be able to order the goggles within the next month...
EDIT: I'm willing to do the GBs more often, but if there is less demand then you just won't get as good of a discount. That 25% helps my wallet out a LOT!

I've got it changed for you on the op. I don't recall any goggles that covered 600nm ~ 1064... would be a good pair for all the red laser lovers though.

This is the best you're going to find for common reds.

ML7 - KTP, YAG, Red/IR Diode [NR-ML7-00FDA] - $154.00

Bionic-Badger · 03-04-2012, 05:16 AM

The ML7's red protection is so that you can align red laser alignment beams for other lasers such as higher powered greens. It can only protect you up to 150mW of red, which most people will surpass in their builds. It's excellent for green lasers as you can go up to about 1W of power and also be protected against the IR that such a laser may have.

It'd be nice if there was a full chart listing all the goggles and their protection levels.

Tech_Junkie · 03-04-2012, 06:21 AM

I thought the OD 1.5 would have given you better protection.

dethlore · 03-04-2012, 06:21 AM

The ELX - YAG $140 is 2+ from 600-670 and 5+ from 670 - 690, and 5+ from 900 to 1100. VLT is only 7% though.

DI4 $119 covers 5+ from about 600 - 850. Not your 1064, but has fantastic red protection.

I wish it were, or I wouldn't need to buy another pair of goggles in this GB. Unfortunately, 150mW of red is about the max you can use with these goggles:

150mW x 10^(-1.5) = 4.7mW

It's a great pair for most greens though, as its OD2.5 provides an order of magnitude better protection (i.e. protected to about 1.5W), and it protects you against the IR too.

vk2fro · 03-04-2012, 08:34 PM

Looks like I need good goggles for aligning a projector. (I'm already blind on one side, but not thanks to a laser) so I doubly value my eyesight. I just gave away my last set with a pointer. Fortunatly I'm not dumb enough to fire up anything over 5mw without eye protection.

I'll need plenty of warning when payment is needed. 2 weeks is plenty.

I'm in for ARG style 34 @ $80.50

and

RB2 style 34 @ $119.

These cover my visible wavelengths in the projector: 532, 445 and 637nm.

Cheers
Ben
