Hey guys its me shockwave88.

I have been doing some research over the past week on the laser that i will be ordering - www.rayfoss.com - And as i was going to buy it i just thaught "shit i forgot the goggles" unfortunately rayfoss doesnt sell safety goggles :mad: but then i was looking on o-like and they seem to have them - 532nm,473nm,405nm laser goggles [OLSG532] - $19.99 : O-Like, Quality Products, Great Prices - Are these good goggles and will they protect me from the laser above?

EDIT: it seems like they do protect me cause it says 532NM and my laser is 532nm :P but are they good quality? As in will they protect me properly and effectively


Thanks.
 





Those goggles are OK, as best I know. I believe FocalPrice has the same for about $9 btw. Also, I have just found a deep orange kind that will be here in about 10 days, I'll test them and see, but my hope is these orange ones will be better for green and violet, as I have some that are >OD 3 for both, but mine, I have currently are a type no longer ava. -Glenn
 
Oh ok thanks alot Glenn. Yes please PM me once you've tested the goggles i would appreciate it alot.

Hi,
are all these similar looking red/orange goggles with black holding really the same?
You can buy them at very diverging prices and only o-like gives some detailed information about wavelength etc.
does anyone know more about that?

Yes i believe that they are different. Quality wise. For example: if it is a cheap pair of goggles they wont protect you as much. But if they are good quality like the dragon laser pair i have linked above they will protect you more. Get my drift?
 
Reliability will increase with price too, cheap goggles are a bet but pro goggles are guaranteed. Dragon lasers is alright as far as I can see.
 
I agree with you, that more expensive goggles tend to be better. and of course I want to protect my eyes in a safe way. And I think, that the dragon laser goggles are a good deal, too.

My question was more from curiosity, because I thought of buying goggles from o-like ($19.99 at a trustworthy shop, also a good deal, I think), and now I read in this forum, that I can get the *same* goggles for $5 elsewhere (no further details given at the sellers site, only similar photos. not really trustworthy). Now the question to the people, who know more than I: Can this be? And how can I be shure? Does o-like buy them for $5 and sell them for $19.99 ?)

thanks,
christian

Yes they do :undecided:
I have the $5 and the $19,99 goggles, they are completely the same!
But there are much higher prices around for the same goggles, that´s the reason you should always inform you before buying such things!
 
possible explanation: Neither of them are real laser safety goggles, both are cheap red goggles used to improve the visibility of red lasers used in construction.

Do any of the two have OD's listed at goggles themself? Any standard listed (ANSI Z136 IIRC)?
 
Just my half cent ..... i've seen that all those "laser goggles" that they sold are, in fact, anti-infortunistic prevention goggles (safety goggles, or whatever you call them, for work with mechanical machines and grinders) ..... some of them, like the ones that i have tested (the ones with black plastic frame and RED plastic lenses, like Focalprice ones) are good for blue and green laser protection (also if, ofcourse, being red, they don't stop IR from green DPSS modules) ..... where instead, the ones that have orange or (worse) light orange lenses, and the ones with all the body made in orange plastic, are NOT efficent, as laser protections .....

Laser Glasses - UV to Green Lasers Protection 190-548nm :: Laser Safety :: Dragon Lasers

It says 190-548 nm. Does that mean its OD 1,2,3, and 4? And no they dont have that code. Take a look at those goggles.

Wait so are u saying that the goggles above from dragon lasers wont protect me from green lasers?
 
The dragon laser goggles are probably not certified to any standard, that's true, but I do think it are decent goggles to start with, because you know at least the optical densities:
OD>4 @ 190-533nm
OD>3 @ 534-540nm
OD>2 @ 541-548nm
For the goggles you linked to. Dragon laser goggles at least have a proper description of the OD's and an OD chart.

Some goggles, like one from o-like, don't seem real laser safety goggles to me, at least not from the description. They don't list OD's properly and just state it works with green lasers, although they may just be cheap red goggles used to improve the visibility of red lasers used in construction. They do protect, but it's really a guess how good and how long.

Real laser safety goggles have a pretty high price, because they guarantee safety according to known standards. But the dragon laser goggles come close enough for a hobby.
 
Oh thanks. Well yeah its just a hobby(burning things, optics) I don't plan to do construction with it. But just to clarify. The goggles will protect me if like it just happens to reflect off somethin and hits my eyes?
 
yes, but make sure your laser doesn't leak a lot of IR, the goggles don't protect against that. OD 4 attenuates 10000 times, but it's not so strong that you don't see a dot so you can still easily work with the laser. The limit will be where the goggles melt too fast, but with only a few 100mW that's no problem.
