SL Eagle Pair Glasses NOT Okay for Specified Range

[SRESAL]

Just reading this thread for the first time... very refreshing to see such professionalism and respect.

Hey guys, I've been following this for a few days, and I thought maybe I better check out my S.L. goggles, they are the Eagle Pair 190-400nm + 580-760 Laser Safety Goggles.
I used my C.N.I. PGL-III-C 589nm, which was outputting about 150mW today. With the "Eagle Pair" between the laser and the Ophir, I got a reading of 2.1mW; a reduction of 98.5% (almost OD 2)?
While nothing to write home about, I could look at the dot on my Ophir while wearing the goggles.


Edit: Here's a couple of crappy pics of my results. I actually got some lower readings this time

Thanks for posting the photo. After looking at the dot on your Ophir, I'm wondering how much of that 1.4mW is IR leakage?

Good point, in my case, the dot wasn't uncomfortable to look at, so possibly, some of the output reading may be IR.

This may be a case where the cheap eBay glasses actually work better. I just checked, and they do
block more light in that area of the spectrum than the SL ones. If you have any of those lying around, I'd
say give them a try. I don't have a 589nm laser to test them out with. I do still see a bit of yellow through
them, though so they still won't be as good as the ARG, though with them there is a chance you won't see
much of anything at all.
