Those Amazon HDE goggles work OK for their rated wavelength, unless you're dealing with huge power output. I've tested a few in my time with pretty varied results, but I guess anything is better than nothing.

Actually, this thread ranks high on Australian Google. Also - did you just insinuate that the Admins of this forum condone illegal activity? I think you just did.

This thread is an absolute disgrace. I vote, because the laws regarding laser pointers in Australia are very well known (evidenced by this particular thread), that this thread be deleted. Stick to <1mW unless you have a permit, and a (good) reason to have one. The legislation was written to...

Yeah... it almost certainly wouldn't be safe without a shielded laser or safety equipment. I certainly wouldn't be comfortable being in a room while something like that was in operation. You can get decent goggles cheap. Why take the risk?

I guess that's a reasonable incentive to report people, but this isn't going to prevent laser misuse at all.

Thanks for the info guys. I've been looking for a unique host for quite some time now. To add to the uniqueness, I'm considering going with something between 589nm - 593nm. I don't know if I can justify putting a 593nm diode in an incredibly expensive titanium host, so maybe I'll need both a...

LOL! I'm not sure why, but the concept of a candle-lighting laser is quite funny. :p

I normally test in the bottom corner furthest from the center. This way, it's highly unlikely that you'll ever see it when you're wearing them. :) Almost every pair of goggles I own looks similar to yours, unless I own two of the same rating. lol

I've been waiting for someone to do this. Thanks a lot for posting. Eagle Pair make some fine equipment.

Wow. What a beast! That's such a nice looking host too. Where would one obtain a host like this one?

Airforce one? Lol I find it hard to believe every single aircraft is tracked in real time by that site. Either way, it's still helpful...

This is a great idea. Does it cover every flight, or just commercial? What about military, RFDS, etc. etc.?

You have to be careful about cheap laser pointers these days. It's easy to get burned as a lot of us have been. :(

I can't offer much advice with regard to purchasing laser safety equipment with BitCoins. What I do know, is that I recently tested a laser module similar in price and specifications to the one you have mentioned above. These things produce radiation in some strange wavelengths. Make sure the...

It really depends on so many different things. If you're concerned about safety, have you considered using a less powerful laser? You should make yourself aware of the reflective surfaces in your testing area, and avoid or remove them if possible. Even though it's not overly powerful, some...

LOL! Somehow, I don't think lasers and self-defense are going to mix well...

Are there any statistics available that show how much aircraft/laser incidents have increased recently in the US? I was reading a Customs yearly report recently that stated that here in Australia there has been no notable change in laser incidents after restricting output power to 1mW. While...

I agree with Greenlander in that you probably shouldn't wait any longer before trying to execute a chargeback. Three weeks is a long time to process an order, especially one valued at $50. Have a read through laser companies forum and you'll more than likely find exactly what you're looking for...

That poor kid. Probably an overspec laser too. This is a very sad, but all too common story these days. :(

Goggles are always a good idea! :)
