The LG-005 laser safety glasses provide OD 7+ protection across all wavelengths from 190 nm to 532 nm, effectively covering UV, violet, blue, and green portions of the spectrum.
Protection Across Multiple Wavelengths
This spectral coverage is particularly relevant for blue diode lasers (445–455 nm) and frequency-doubled Nd:YAG lasers (532 nm), which are commonly used in scientific, industrial, and ophthalmic systems. The filter material in the LG-005 attenuates these beams by more than ten million times, significantly reducing the risk of retinal injury during alignment, operation, or maintenance.
Optical Clarity and Fit
Maintaining a 48% Visible Light Transmission (VLT), the LG-005 offers clear vision for detailed work while preventing visual fatigue often associated with darker filters. The universal fit-over design ensures compatibility with prescription eyewear, and the robust polymer frame provides both durability and flexibility under demanding use conditions.
Certification and Testing
The LG-005 is manufactured in the USA and tested to the full suite of international laser safety standards, including AS/NZS 2211.1:2004, ANSI Z136 (US), and EN207/208 (EU).
Its L-ratings (D LB7 + IR LB4 / DIRM LB6 S) demonstrate verified resistance to both continuous-wave and pulsed laser exposure, ensuring compliance with institutional and industrial laser safety protocols.
Applications
These glasses are suitable for:
-
Ophthalmic and medical laser systems
-
Laboratory alignment of visible and UV lasers
-
Industrial laser engraving, photolithography, and micro-machining
