OK..I see that several are modding greenies. Some are taking them apart and playing with the innards.
The IR diodes in these units put out MUCH more power than the unit spec and it is INVISIBLE and WILL burn the retina.
I have a proposal for you. If you understand the passaround concept I urge you to consider this.
When you decide to dissect the unit...and I DO NOT recommend this...but if you HAVE to..I have a pair of goggles to pass around.
1. You have to promise to USE them.
2. You have to promise to TAKE CARE of them.
3. I'd like to have them back at some point so each user will let me know when they get them and who they send them to. I'd also like to know they used them.
I'd do not want to see ANYONE suffer the results of overenthusiastic pusuit of higher power so I am offering this:
ONE pair of Laser Gard safety goggles from Glendale Optical for LOAN. Start a list and I will mail them to the first one on the list. When done with a modification they will
mail the goggles at that person's cost to the next on the list. Please think about this.
Spec:
Gallium Arsenide (Neodymium) Laser Safety Glasses.
OD 16 at 1060 nm - Luminous transmittance 60%.
I am putting some faith in people here and I know that I may not ever see these again but I hope I will and in any case if it saves one person from damaging their eyes it will be worth it.
