Everyone, Please realize that the 405 nm lasers that many of us have are much more hazardous to the eye than other wavelength similarly bright and some brighter seeming, (looking), lasers. The lasers that are <5 mW such as green, yellow or red lasers do not compare in destructive power! I sure don't want people to think no harm is possible with the <5 mW lasers either, but, Do not be deceived by the lower apparent brightness of a 405 nm laser! It is only with care that these "Blu-ray lasers" should be used! I also say Dave's, (daguin) Post about the "Strange Things about the Blu-ray laser is a "Must read"!
I found and tested these goggles for use in looking at the fluorescent glow on specimens with the "violet glare" reduced by approximately 98-99% I tested them w/ daguin on his meter, and a 135 mW violet was reduced to 1-2 mW

Here they are with a dot on the business card from ~ 140 mW BR laser:
And here the dot on the same card at the same distance with the beam passing through the goggles: The dot is under the "E" in Glenn. (Interestingly, the reflection of the dot on table actually shows that "blue color" that my biz card glows in.)

I offer these for $10 ea. and what ever shipping actually costs to your location, about $2.75 in the USA. I do not claim these are OD rated or advise them for ideal BR protection, and like a motorcycle helmet is not designed to intentionally run into a brick wall, I advise against taking a direct hit or reflection from a shiny or mirrored surface through these, but it is helpful, and better than no protection at all. Of course using any laser with sober and careful planning and diligence is the most important part of protecting your eyesight.

Are you saying these are $285 shipped to US!? Or was it a joke/typo? :S

He missed the decimal. I'm sure domestic shipping on these is ~$2.75.

I was quite impressed with them. While Glenn was here we set up my 473nm (blue) just to play with. After he left, I thought to test the goggles on it. They reduced 120mW of blue down to 20mW!

Green and red pretty much passed through unimpeded.

These appear to be very useful for "casual" use. I have not tested them to see at what power the dyes might begin to break down, but they show no changes at 150mW levels. I'll break out some higher powered violets later and edit this post.

These are very light. The ear pieces are adjustable for length to aid in a good secure fit. The lenses are large and "wrap around" to protect from accidental "side" shots. These are my new "favorites" for just playing around the house/field and for setting up experiments.

At only $10 each, these would also be good as "guest" goggles when a friend or relative stops by.

Great find, ScopeGuy20!

Peace,
dave

Would these be suitable for blocking 405nm to better see fluoresce? Also, what's the shipping cost to Norway?

They work BEST with 405nm (violet).

405nm = 135mW reduced to 2mW
473nm = 120mW reduced to 20mW

As ScopeGuy20 mentioned, they work very well for observing fluorescence. The "blaze" of the laser is reduced to the point that you can see the more subtle color of the fluorescence.

Peace,
dave

USA shipping about $2.75 I guess I missed the decimal point there! Sorry! Norway $4.80 Most of EU also about $4.80 for shipping.

I'm waiting for my bluray in the mail still. I guess I need a pair of these. will send pm.

i will probably get some in the near future.. just not right now.. i got some other things to take care of.. heheh.

nice find glenn! and daguin!

Hey! I was just sitting here.

This is all Glenn.

Peace,
dave

i'm interested.PM your paypal

These goggles are going fast! I'll see if I can stock up more. -Glenn

i might pick up a pair of these soon.
any chance of cheap green laser goggles also?

have similar glasses, tested them extensively, and find them absolutely suitable against 405nm. if i didnt have some already, i would get these from scopeguy.

everyone with more than 20mw of 405, get some of them! dont forget visiting friends, right? at such a price, no excuses accepted!

manuel

Scope, PM me

I may be buying ALL of these

Will you be selling them on your site, dark? :P

Also, I want one, PM'd.

LOL nooooo save one for meee!!! haha..
just kidding. I dont think i can afford one until a couple weeks.
yes.. I am very poor. hahaa

Great deal! Sunglasses work really well too, but not as well as these. Also, sunglasses don't (unless you like those big fly-eye ones) protect from side shots.
I will definately put this on my "buy when no longer poor as hell" list.

Don't worry people, I am holding a few for my pals! I think with a Blu-ray you can focus much better for the distance that you are using, (burning), with these. They fit over most glasses and unlike sunglasses they will not make your pupils dilate, which would let more BR light in. And some sunglasses make it harder to see in low light. Hey I need at least 3 pair for when I do stuff with BR's & a couple of friends! -Glenn

i just bought a 400mw blu ray laser from dark will these be up to pare for such a powerful laser?

Like I said before they will cut the light by about 98%, if you are at 400 mW, these will make the dot look like a less than ~10 mW dot, and focusing will be much easier, but I do not recommend any kind of goggles or filters to look into a BR laser! I would say that these are a very significant safety precaution for the DarkLaser even though it would be foolish to take a direct reflection or a direct hit in the eye! -Glenn

hey glenn can you save me one? I'm pretty positive on buying one of these from you in like 2 weeks. I'm moving soon so I don't want to buy it yet and have it sent here and then not get the package.

Sure friend, rest assured I will have one for you. Best Wishes! -Glenn

wow glenn these are nice looking let me manipulate the bank account so i can get me and my son Justin a pair since you already went and tested these who could say no

Sunglasses are , Yellow googles are , Last thing you want to do is were sunglasses when using any lasers because the will dilate your pupils and let more light in your eyes. If you go to and hardware store and check out the safety sunglasses, and these can cost $30 to $40, even though they look good and they cut down on UV, you need to read the warning label (Do not use for welding or lasers). When the manufacture tells you don't do it, DONT DO IT, nuff said.
Scope, I just ordered mine today, thanks
Joe

Thanks Tymtravler, you are right, and I would warn, I checked transmission on several bicycling and other glasses and goggles, many yellow ones don't block near as much BR as these do! If you shop for goggles take a BR along and test to see if the dot on a brightly fluorescent item is near damped out! It is a good indication that they do not block enough if the flourescent item still glows more than dimly after passing through the lens.

Grix, Tymtravler, bucken your goggles ship this AM! Thanks! -Glenn
