Prior to joining this forum, I purchased a pair of safety glasses that claim to have an OD of 6+ and are also 'supposedly' good at a wave length of 405nm (the same wave length of the two lasers that I also purchased on ebay, at the same time). After later doing a bit of reading, and watching some videos on YouTube, I'm now wondering if the glasses that I purchased are truly safe. How can I test them? Would it be safe to look at the 'side' of a laser beam, with the glasses, and if I cannot see the beam, call the glasses safe? FWIW... the glasses trademark is "FREEMASCOT". As for the ebay lasers, I was being a bonehead when I purchased them. I watched a video from Styropro (I think that's his youtube name), where he was testing illegal Chinese lasers from ebay. I was actually hoping that the lasers that I purchased 'were' illegal and way more powerful than the advertised 5mw. I now know the 'err' in my ways for supporting such bad behavior, should my lasers indeed prove to be class IV, but it's too late now. The deal is done. I'll never do such a thing again!!!
Anyway, back to the glasses. FREEMASCOT. The price is similar to Eagle Pair, but what about the quality? The specs are as follows; Would you consider them good, or should I go for an 'Eagle Pair'?
