I think it's time for you to either come back to land or lay off the crack.

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.

but...

What am I looking at??

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.

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.

LMAO
great analogy 😉

edit:
so what is it you do that requires this eyeball diaphragm?

We have several lasers for entertainment purposes in our theater. No big "mad scientist" lab or anything like that but ANY laser is capable of harm if misused. Probably the most dangerous thing is the power supplies on the argons. Most people know enough not to gaze into apertures with warning labels but we still have strict policies on who has access to the laser systems and controls.
