Greetings, all.
I had noted some individuals on here have reservations about EaglePair laser goggles. When I was first getting into lasers many years ago, EaglePair was highly recommended, so I purchased based on that feedback. I purchased directly from Survival Laser. I currently own:
[SL-RLG11] Eagle Pair® 190-400nm & 580-760nm Laser Safety Goggles (I purchased for $41.99 in 2013)
[SL-GLG1] Eagle Pair® 190-540nm & 800-2000nm Laser Safety Goggles ($57.99 in 2012)
The class 4's I currently own:
~1.1W 445nm
~>=3W 445nm
600mW 520nm
680mW 638 nm
Since then, I've noted some individuals had concerns about Eagle Pair laser glasses, but there was also a thread that seemed to suggest that fake EaglePair glasses explained the poor protection https://laserpointerforums.com/threads/question-about-eagle-pair.72792/
I take precautions to avoid any direct or reflected exposure even when wearing eye protection, but I do sometimes burn with them (light hookah coals, etc).
What's everyone's current take on *authentic* Eagle Pair I mentioned above for my collection? The 520nm is a new acquisition and my first green class 4. Should I purchase new glasses, or should these be adequate for burning / pointing indoors at light colored walls? Side note, if someone is being an idiot with a handheld laser at an event (concert / festival /etc), I may put my glasses on as a precaution until security or I can talk to them; this would be the most likely scenario where I might get inadvertent direct exposure - someone else being stupid
