AFAIK --good luck finding 5W of anything except blue- max 405 is under 2W.. and no reds in that power-
question ---WHY did you buy a powerful laser and NOT already have eye protection in hand.??
Most here wear them only on rare occasions- like doing the divergence measurement or putting the dot on a LPM sensor--
By avoiding holding any laser horizontally at all times the chance of getting a shot in the eye is extremely low.
We must be aware of mirrors-windows etc with reflective surfaces.. but the reflection is not as dangerous as a straight shot.
It is impossible to get a hit more than .25 seconds.. as you will close your eyes or block with hand or look away.
Exception may be when on angel dust or PCP ..
be careful PLEASE
Yeah I havent really been able to use my first high power laser hardly at all yet because I don't have any glasses. I have a 3 watt 445nm striker saber from sanwu and I honestly was shocked at the power of it the first time I turned it on. I have never owned anything above 150 - 200 mW before so when I first turned on my 3 watt 445nm laser it actually frightened me and I knew right away that it is just stupid to even attempt to use it without eye protection. I'm trying to find a fairly good deal on glasses that will protect between 405nm and 680nm and around 5 watts because this is the range of wavelengths that I intend on collecting. I really have no use for lasers in the non visible spectrum unless I plan on buying a laser cnc cutter with a C02 laser
