Hello, new laser owner here with a simple but important question about safety lenses

[johnscoocharts]

I have a wicked laser Arctic blue with safety goggles and my first thought is, do these goggles, (with orange lenses) work on all coloured lasers or do I need different glasses for red and green,
Any help much appreciated

Firstly,the goggles from wicked lasers are crap and they can let too much light in from a laser and you can damage your eyes without knowing it. Secondly, orange genrally works on 405nm ( violet) 445(the artctic) and 532nm (green). Blue or sometimes green is used for red lasers. I recommend you buy a better pair ASAP.

Do you know if using them with a class 2 green laser is ok? Sorry, I'm putting together a gallery installation and need as much info as possible for Health and Safety,

Thanks again
