Unfortunately, I have a little burn spot (not a hole) on the lens. It is above and to the right of the main reflection...

Ouch goggles are only designed for reflection protection and glare, but not direct contact from the laser beam I bet you feel a bit gutted now :'(

No, not really. It shows that I could stand a fairly serious blast (20 sec or more) directly without serious consequences. Anyway, what I wanted to prove, and did, was that these lenses are pretty good. (no fan of Wicked, but noIR makes a good product)
