Feeler: Protection goggles for new 445nm diodes
Hello everyone. With the new wave of 445nm diodes hitting the market, I think we need to add a new set of goggles to our collection, especially considering these diodes can be pushed to 1W! Here's the goggles I had in mind.
Laser Glasses - UV to Green Lasers Protection 190-548nm :: Laser Safety :: Dragon Lasers
Going by the graph they provided, these things have an Optical Density of >4, which should be adequate protection for these diodes.
To get this group buy going, I'm thinking we should at least get 10 orders, however, I'd like to get 15 orders. Here's how the prices work as of right now.
The shipping would very steep @ $18.00 for just one set of shades.
Now, with 15 orders...
Shipping drops down to $3.66 per shade, + the cost of US shipping (I'm going to see if these things fit inside of a small flat rate box for $5 each.)
So again, as of right now the only benefit to this potential GB is the shipping savings of about $10. Now, I emailed Frank (Owner of DL) to see if this bulk order would be eligible for a bulk discount. Do note that since I am a previous customer, you're automatically seeing a discount of .75¢ per shade. If you guys are interested, let me know. At this point in time, this is just a feeler and hopefully Frank will hook us up depending on how big of an order we submit. Thanks.

Minimum needed: 15
I'm still waiting to see what extelon has to say about his potential GB from OEM lasers.
