How can you see with those goggles? In our lab, it's too dark. You end up tripping over everything unless you wear the ones that don't totally block 532nm. I consider it a "common-sense" test; it blocks the beams you can't see, but you have to be careful not to be staring into the ones you can.

They transmit reds very well. Even 1W 532 is very subdued. A 5mW (650 nm) pointer looks brighter (the dot) through them than 500X the power at 532.
Funny thing is after looking at 1W at a screen with no goggles (pretty dumb to do so I cannot recommend this) everything that's white looks pink. :Q Reminds me of snowblindness.
looks sorta... bloody

Ah, different goggles, then. Ours are Nd:YAG, plus the doubled frequency thereof, plus just about everything in the visible spectrum![]()

Imagine if a photon cannon was a penis and the eyeball was a vagina. The goggles = diaphragm.
