I've been getting increasingly interested in lasers recently, and came across this forum. It seemed like a friendly community, so I thought that I would join up!
Made sure to read the stickies and rules, so no problems there. I already have some safety goggles, but after reading about some of the accidents that have happened with lasers I may get some better quality ones. These are what I have been using, and they work wonders for my 200mW, though I doubt they will provide sufficient protection from a 1000mW 445nm laser that I am interested in buying.
Goggles are an investment, I just got myself a new pair at survival lasers, they shoud be good for all my lasers. I got a hit by mistake aligning some mirrors, and let me tell you it's not fun.
Ah almost forgot.
