Hi everyone here at laserpointerforums. I have been reading threads here for awhile and it drove to the point of purchasing my first green laser. You guys are really very helpful and I look forward to being part of this forum. The good deals here are going to cost me ;D but thats what hobbies do. Ok i am going to go check my tracking numer agian for the thrid time today, I cant wait for it to get here.
 





Welcome :)

The only problem with the RPL-400 is that in comparison any laser you buy from now on will be too weak :P Focus on getting a nice red burner and a good blu-ray laser instead :)
 
Thanks Murudai. Rpl-400 ;D Yeah I went for the big one. I could 'nt pass on the deal. I knew I would regret it it I didnt go for it . I am sure I will be looking into a blue one soon, since there is some good ones on here for sale. But I am trying not to spend my money before I make ;) Let's see how long I can hold out for? Oh to late bught another one this morning.

If you had access to a Laser Power Meter... it would let you know the amount the Goggles
will cut the Laser's beam or how much of the laser's beam goes through the Goggles. :)

Thanks laserbee. Good idea. Now just have to find someone to the SF Ca. area?
 
I use Novalasers goggles (same as laserglow goggles). They protect against voilet to green wavelengths and have an OD of 7+. While you really only need an OD of like 1 or 2, the extra protection makes me feel safer when burning stuff. I'm not sure if you know how the OD scale works but I think you simply add a decimal and a zero per OD level. For instance 1OD would allow .01% of the laser light through. 2OD would allow .001% of the light through. If I'm wrong somone will correct me.

Heres the link to the glasses I use (I use the sports edition):
