laser saftey goggles

[strik3]

in light of the recent kipkay discussion i was interested in how many members actually do own saftey glases. i understand that it is a personal choice to wear them. and have nothing asainst people who understand laser saftey and choose not to wear them

I vote sometimes.

I pretty much always use them indoors. but outdoors and for long range, I don't use them.

Depends on the power and WL. Like I have a 30mw green and I never use googles. ( unless I'm trying to reflect to off a mirror or test a beam expander since it might reflect) The green is bright enough that you're aware of what you're shining it at. I always use it for my 100mw green when I try to burn and the same with my 50 mw 405 ( you have to be careful with it since the 405nm is deceptive.)

It should be more specific, I like GBD ware them in doors and not when outdoors at long distances... so sometimes but thats doesn't sound right IMO it should be reworded...

Well..there are exeptions offcoarse.. but im just talking in general without getting too specific.

I use mine all the time in indoor situations, outside however, I don't use them, as long as it's not snowing or raining.
