Laser goggles

[Vcent]

Where would be the best place to purchase laser safety goggles for 650nm ?
I'm mainly thinking in terms of assured & tested safety for red lasers,above 500mW ...

For high power 650nm my company offers these:

A direct shot to the eye with a 500mW 650nm laser will pass only .005mW to your eye for up to 10 seconds

Or the following two pair for alignment purposes:

This pair above will pass 16mW to your eye on a direct exposure

http://store.oemlasersystems.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=32_7_17&products_id=256

This pair above will pass 0.5mW to the eye on a direct exposure

They are all FDA/CE rated.

Well,i guess you know that laser goggles that pass anything over 5mw to the eye are practically useless?
But ill look into the other ones
BTWoes anyone know what the WL lasershades are certified for?

OD 2, I'm fairly sure.

They are designed for lasers <200mW, like the ones that Wicked sell. If the glasses were any stronger, you wouldn't be able to see the dot from the lasers, and that would really suck for enthusiasts

Your saying 500mW laser? Then don't get the WL ones, they aren't strong enough. FrothyChimp has the right links for you, you should look at those

I'm just saying 500 in case i really decide to do the little idea I'm thinking of,with joining 5 200mw senkat diodes

Well,that going to be the problem,since they are polarized...any suggestions?
