What glasses should i buy?






it would appear they are good then... i believe my green is also ir filtered but i dont burn with it since i have 1 1600mw.. thanks
 
These were tested by InfinitusEquitas at a blazing 2.1W and guess what got though to the LPM? ZEROmW. That is impressive I got two of these cheapies from another member.

But my OEM 7+OD are coming tomorrow.
I know the Uvex and chapies are tested but the fact that they are not certified terrify me, and I haven't used my laser very much at all; close up that is. The florescent dot is still very bright with the Uvex (even when I double stack them ;) ) and leaves me with a headache after a while, but assuming your 405 is likely 30-60mW it shouldn't be too blazingly bright with goggles on.
 
Uvex will protect me from 405nm, however I now bought a 200mw 660nm red laser and i want to know if they protect me from both, if not are there any glasses that will protect me from both?

that dot through eagle pairs is about a pin head. i have a pair of uvex for friends so ill do a comparison b/t uvex and eagle pair in a few minutes

What happened did you compared them ? What are the results ? I bid that the differences between them are not so big.
 
oh sorry, yeah i started doing a comparison and then almost burnt down my living room :eg:

I totally forgot to finish my tests. I have the results for 532nm but not 445nm (since 1.5W burns everything i was using for a beam stop)

Thanks for the reminder, ill go upload the pictures from 532nm now

EDIT: TEST BELOW

100mW 532nm Dot (Laser 3 feet back and glasses 12" back)

Dot through Uvex

Dot through Eagle Pair


100mW 532nm Dot (Laser 8 feet back and glasses 24" back)

Dot through Uvex

Dot through Eagle Pair


So my findings are above and IMO the eagle pair preform three times better than the Uvex. That amount of light, depending on the time you look at it, can cause a headache and strain on your eyes.

As soon as i have time and dig a brick up from outside, ill finish the 445nm tests and post those as well but they looked to be similar from the quick tests i did.

Oh wow, I did a pass-through test with the glasses in front of the laser to see what got through.
I'll run another later today Like the one above and post it.
 
Would be interested in your findings. Try both a pass through test and reflection testing like i did. if you use white as a backstop it will show the dot and reflection better than black or a dark color
 
Very nice test and nice results and that give us much more detailed information about differences between them. :wave:
Unfortunately i have only green lasers and that disturbs me because with the money i have i can buy only the uvex ...
Thanks.

Ok here are the results.
laser distance to target 18"
Glasses distance to target 6"
Glasses to camera contact

Reflective Tests

532nm no glasses



532 UVEX



532 Chinese



405nm no glasses



405 nm UVEX



405nm Chinese



445 no glasses


445nm UVEX/ the dot is not at 445nm it's the paper fluorescing



445nm Chinese again the dot is from the paper fluorescing



Pass through tests
Laser to glasses contact
laser to target 18"
Camera to target 6"

532nm UVEX



532nm Chinese



405nm UVEX



405 Chinese




445nm UVEX/ note no pass through at all



445 Chinese



This is in no way a scientific test; all it is a comparison of whether or not these wavelengths can be seen through these particular glasses. Nether are safe for close up burning and should not be used for such purposes.
Buy certified glasses, yes it's a bitch that the glasses may cost more than the laser, but try going 1 minute with your eyes closed. Want to do that for the rest of your life? This test is like the house on fire test, it either is or is not. No in-between or level of magnitude.
 
the chinese pair disturbs me a LOT! with the color tinted lens, the dot should not appear blue for a 445nm. that is a major fail on the chinese pair. the whole point of the glasses is to block 445nm and that just shows it doesnt
 
Maybe I'll chime in here..

The green is a dx "5mW" but it pops balloons and stings dark skin.
The blue peaks at 1.9W but can go as high as 2W.

445
The notice how it is NOT dark around the dot. These still allow the laser to hurt my eyes. That is why I went with the good stuff.

Its clear that the Uvex is better than nothing and they've always been in that category but they are not great at all
 
Uvex are cheap glasses that do what they can. I sometimes think that I should keep them in the drawer...
Also it all depends on what laser they are used for. If I want to block a 3w monster the Uvex won't do.
