hi y'all I would like to introduce myself. My name is Eric, I reside in N. East Connecticut. I'm also a saltwater aquarist and can be found on a few other forums as icycoral. I've had an affinity with lasers and all things science ever since I was a little guy. My laser bug has recently been let out with the find of my trade-school electronics tool kit and parts kits. I've played around with a few circuits and diodes and am looking to turn my curiosities into a full blown hobby.
However before I go any further with my affinity for laser devices I need to acquire some eye protection. I've been routing through the forum quite a bit and read the complete thread on the person who damaged their retina with a 1w 445nm laser which it fell during a laser effect experiment, a very real reminder of what these devices are capable of. The first laser-lasers I am interested in are going to be 405nm and 445nm <100mw and <1000mw respectively. I have seen a couple pairs of goggles/glasses in the forums but I saw these linked in a thread and they caught my attention

I found the spec sheet on these and am not sure if I'm interpreting it wrong. will these be effective for devices in those spectrum's at outputs <2W? They just seem a little too inexpensive..
not trying to waste the vets time w nonsense questions just asking for a push in the right direction. Thank you all!
