Okay, so I know there are about 10,000 posts on here about safety goggles, and tons of great stickys on safety goggles, but I still had a question.
I just bought a 1.5W 445nm laser to kill some pests in my aquarium. I bought some safety goggles with my laser but I want to get a second pair.
I am looking at two different pair:
Pair one (click here to view)
Pair two (click to view)
So, each different laser will block the wavelength of light that my laser puts off, but one has a higher OD number. Does this mean that the dot would be harder to view, since it blocks more of the light? Also, is there a great benefit in buying the more expensive pair over the other? $20 separates the two in price, but knowing that spending an extra $20 would be safer, then it is definitely worth it.
Thanks!
