Hey everyone. So I recently got into steampunk, and as everyone knows, steampunk is nothing without goggles. Anyway, so I am working on creating my own goggles, so I bought a pair of old welder's goggles, and, after some tests on my LPM, it seems that the light they are letting through won't even give a reading!
I am not saying these are perfectly safe - far from it. However, the plan was originally to replace the glass filter with cut outs from various laser goggle filters so that they can be handy and epic at the same time... but I may not need to do that!
Just thought I should share with you guys!
And after testing multiple wavelengths, it seems the only one it *isn't* amazing at blocking (even visually) is 532nm. And even that still didn't get a reading on my LPM.
