I believe it is just the diode with 2 wires coming out that I had hooked up to a bread board and built my drive on the breadboard to test the entire circuit. I could include all those pieces if wanted (resistors,capictors)..

Hey all.. I've decided this isn't the hobby for me and have only used my laser diode 1 time. IT came out of (I believe) an 8x dvd burner drive (could have been 4x but I think it was at least 8x). It's enough to pop black balloons and light matches heads with a black sharpie mark on them. I've...

I got my glasses yesterday! they are great! I tried the laser at 200mw with them on, i can still see the dot, but its like VERY VERY fine tip dot with the glasses on. (i'm doing looking at it about 2 or 3 feet away hopefully thats not too close?). without the classes on the beam is insanely...

Thanks all for your help! i've gone with the greener ones after some talk with Garok, He says they ARE the same ones (gp13) that the eagle pair site shows, he just didnt feel completely comfortable with their claim of it being as low as 610 but it should work well for 650 that i plan to use it...

Thank you so much Garoq! already got the order in and see that it has shipped! Fantastic experience with your site! will definately consider more purchases in the future!

Hey thank you for the reply! i think i'm going to pull the trigger on these then! Real quick, On your page i did see the 'update' that says they received a 2.5OD rating at 635nm wavelength, I asume that means the test you did gave that result. is 2.5OD not enough protection to save your eye...

Dear Garoq! I've been informed that you are Survival laser and It would be okay to ask you a question about a pair of safety glass you sell (or may not sell) on here. I've been looking for a pair to protect me with my first 16xDVD rom LD 650nm that i'll be probably running at 150-200mw (maybe...

Just so I know is Garoq like the owner of survival laser or affiliated with them? (i'm still new here). Thank you for your help!

My first search results on ebay put those at around 90-100 bucks shipped. WEllers aren't that much more and sometimes less if you go used.. I also was kind of meaning just the red/orange handle wellers too possibly, the stuff i've owned untill now has been radio shack cheapy stuff that ends up...

So your pair would not be sufficient for a blu ray diode then right? The green pair i've been leaning more towards : Eagle Pair® 190-470nm & 660-760nm Laser Safety Goggles say they go up to 470nm so they might be more suited towards being able to do blu ray as well some day? I cannot find...

You sir are right! I've been eyeballing 'weller' brand ones, think thats not a bad choice? I'll have to wait till i come into a little extra money first :)

These were going to be my first choice, but I've since wondered between this pair and the green other pair (660-760nm) becuase i may get my hands on a bluray diode one day and want to play around with it and the more greenish lense pair might be better suited for that ? But I do appreciate your...

Oh very interesting so as you drive more power into them their wavelength starts to climb a bit? according to the post you gave it looks like they dont actually start at 650 but more like 653-655 ... and even tho those glasses says 660 and up, they still will protect a little bit lower than 660...

I guess my question has morphed a little more into this straight forward phrasing: Would these glasses: Eagle Pair® 190-470nm & 660-760nm Laser Safety Goggles Protect me adequetly (a 1 second direct hit or less) from a 650nm REd laser at around 200mw?

Very informative post thank you, Though your final recommendation (the orangies) they dont seem to offer much protection for 650nm Spectrum which is where i'm going to be stating my excursions. I'm going to be using Ld's from DVD burners, and possibly 'eventually' moving up to bluray LD's from...
