[liorke95]

So, I'm going to build a 445nm Laser 1.5W and more, and I need to choose a GOOD and CHEAP goggles.
For now I've got that one:
Professional Lasers Protective Safety Goggles (Easy Pack) - WorldWide Free Shipping
Because I had a 100mW laser. (SD-301)

So:
1. Is that goggles will be ok for the 445nm 1.5W+ I'm going to build ?
2. That really expensive, but what do you think about that goggles:
Eagle Pair® 190-470nm & 660-760nm Laser Safety Goggles
Eagle Pair® 190-540nm Slip Over Laser Safety Goggles
Eagle Pair® 190-540nm Standard Laser Safety Goggles

Also what's the differents between them ?
3. Laser Safety Glasses, Laser Goggle - That one will cost 43$ with shipping. What do u think about them too ?
4. http://www.amazon.com/Uvex-S1933X-Eyewear-SCT-Orange-Anti-Fog/dp/B000USRG90/ref=pd_bxgy_hi_img_b There are a lot cheap goggles here. What about them too ?

Go for the eagle pair, second or third ones you listed - the 190 -540 ones. The first eagle pair are for red lasers.

If you have to go with a cheap pair for 445 I have a couple of pairs of these: Amazon.com: Uvex S1933X Skyper Safety Eyewear, Black Frame, SCT-Orange UV Extreme Anti-Fog Lens: Home Improvement and I like them. But if your willing to spend the money I would go with one of the Eagle pairs.

I need something that will protects more than 90%. I really afraid about harming my eyes.

Molo, that goggles are good enough ? What's ur laser power?
The Eagle Pair are REALLY expensive. (Even without shipping )

 

[grainde]

Just to let you know, if you think eagle pair are really expensive, bear in mind that they are roughly the same price as a single 445 nm diode! A complete laser is much more.

The other UVEX goggles mentioned above are much cheaper, but are not certified! Testing has shown they do work, but I would definitely choose the eagle pair over them.

I built a ~2.6 W 445 and the EP's work perfectly, even when engraving wood at close range.

I think I'll take that one:
Laser Safety Glasses, Laser Goggle

Watch that video:
Comparison of two laser protection glasses - YouTube
It was really convinced me.
What do u think ?

 

[grainde]

Yeah I have heard of them and they seem ok. Best to test on an LPM though to be sure. Having said all that I would still recommend eagle pair or better ie OEM...

 

[liorke95]

Ok, I've ordered them already.
Thanks again for everything man !
