WL safety goggles vs. 780mw 445

[scopeguy20]

It's no help now for those without my BR goggles, as I have run out of them. Sorry. It's best to get OEM Laser System goggles I'm sure. -Glenn

Yeah, those look exactly like the ones I have, but you'd have to test em to see if they actually work as well

in the main arctic thread, a sales person said that the glasses shipped with the arctic have been made specificaly for it. I dont know if that simply means those red glasses, since they are made to cover blue wavelengths, or that they are custom making/ordering specificaly for 445nm. in any case, there seems a fair chance they will send different goggles that may work better.

I got some not-so-nice results when testing the Arctic 445nm LaserShades

With these LaserShades in place (intercepting the beam), power output of the Wicked Lasers Spyder 3 Arctic 445nm 1W Blue Diode Laser on "low" was measured at 3.00mW, and on "high" it measures 20.96mW.

But with the Medical P/C Argon Laser Safety Goggles intercepting the beam, the power reaching the laser power meter with the Arctic set to "low" was just 40.000µW maximum; most of the power is from the yellow fluorescence of the lenses themselves, and 2.12mW with the Arctic set to "high" -- again, virtually all of it is from the yellow fluorescence of the lenses.

I also destroyed them by firing the Arctic through the left lens:

And shot video of a second "burn baby burn" incident and posted it on YouTube:
