[Advices needed] Buying goggles

[TuhOz]

Hello all,

I ordered recently my 1st 200mw 532nm laser.

I need some advices on buying goggles.

The laser is probably ~150mw and I think it is NOT IR-filtered.
(can't link to you becouse the laser is deleted from the shop now)

What goggles should I get?

I've been looking for DL or SL ones

Thanks people!

If it's not IR filtered you'll need goggles covering the IR or an IR filter for you laser. I'd recommend an IR filter for your laser, it's cheaper and it's the laser after all that fails by not having an IR filter. Getting IR covering goggles to fix the problem would be the wrong way around.

The dragon lasers goggles are fine for green lasers btw.

You can get a pair of goggles from OEM lasers that will protect against 532nm and IR. It will cost you a bit more, but the quality of OEM goggles is superb.

How much Ir filter usually costs?
I might buy those Eagle pair goggles.
