These are what I’m going to trust with my only pair of eyes: Thorlabs - LG3 Laser Safety Glasses, Light Orange Lenses, 48% Visible Light... LG3 - Laser Safety Glasses, Light Orange Lenses, 48% Visible Light Transmission, Universal Style OD7+ at 405nM which i…

I got my from Laser Safety Industries and I like them very much as well - OD5+ with 50% VLT, quite similar. OD7 is more than required - bigger is not necessarily better. Once you are below 1mW at the eye you’re fully protected. The minimum OD would be 4.0 for the 10W laser, 3.2 for the 1.6W laser.

You are not wrong, I get different results indicating OD5 is minimum, possibly we are using different beam diameter values? I choose to err on the side of safety. Since the beam is not collimated, one could argue that no protection is needed at a significant distance, calculated by max power interc…

If you’re interested I detailed some of the calculations for the 1.6W here [image] Best options for eye protection? I see my post from above where I did the calculations was removed. Oh well, here it is again: 1600mW with the provided OD1.19 goggles will reduce laser en…

Given that I can’t control the target as a reflector, I’m not comfortable assigning any divergence to it. Back when Wicked Lasers came out with their 1W blue, I saw some morons claiming that the eyewear didn’t provide any protection because the beam of the laser would eventually melt through the le…

I did some estimates of the 1.6W based on the measured spot size, although I was being conservative on the high divergence size to find the closest possible safe NOHD, would need to estimate the other way to find the most conservative minimum divergence for the purpose of eye protection. If someone…

Some people should not be trusted with a burned out match. :slight_smile:
