When working with low-power red diode lasers, such as those used for alignment or laboratory calibration, it’s important to understand how much eye protection is appropriate. Excessively dark lenses can block the beam entirely, while insufficient protection can leave eyes vulnerable.
The LG-006 Fitover Red Laser Glasses provide a balanced solution by reducing visible laser intensity by a factor of about 31 times (OD 1.5+) across the 630 – 700 nm range. This makes the red beam visible enough for alignment tasks while significantly reducing the potential for retinal exposure.
All protective ratings are clearly marked on the lenses, and the eyewear is certified under multiple Australian and international safety frameworks, including:
-
AS/NZS 1337.5, AS/NZS ISO 19818.1:2023, and AS/NZS IEC 60825.14:2014
-
EN 207/208, AS/NZS 1336:2014, and FDA standards
With a Visible Light Transmission of 39%, the LG-006 design allows safe observation and precise equipment alignment in controlled environments, supporting both safety and visual accuracy.
