Do i need safety glases?

[thedead30]

Can anyone give me a list of frequency i need safety gases for
For example: 445nm 1W Blue Laser Diode

Please don't flame me im a bit of a newb and am thinking of taking this up as a hobby.
Any help is appreciated.

NO WAY would I trust them while using a 1W 445 :wtf:

I'd purchase some Eagle Pair laser goggles, But I wouldn't go for a 1W if you're new to lasers.

The problem is not the amount of reflected beam energy
going through the Laser Safety Goggles/Glasses.... it is
for how long a 1Watt focused beam takes to burn through
the lens by a direct hit...

Theatrical gel can reduce the energy of a 445nm reflected
Laser beam but at 1 Watt not long at all...

NO I don't condone using Theatrical gels for Laser Safety
Goggles/Glasses...

thanks for the quick reply it is apreciated
just to make shore i understand you guys/gals are saying i need glasses for the blue diode
not direct contact but just looking at the beam (not direct) it is recommended to use glasses

Thanks

TL;DR...
you need the goggles.

if it's over 5mW, regardless of wavelength, you need goggles appropriate for that wavelength. You only get one pair of eyeballs.
