Low-Power Red Laser Safety: OD 1.5+ Fitover Glasses

In many laboratory, alignment, and educational environments, low-power red lasers are used for positioning, calibration, and visual targeting. While these beams are less hazardous than high-power lasers, proper eye protection remains essential to prevent accidental exposure to concentrated or reflected light.

The LG-006 Fitover Laser Glasses are designed specifically for this purpose, providing protection from 630 – 700 nm red wavelengths with an Optical Density (OD) of 1.5+, equivalent to roughly 31-fold reduction in laser power. This controlled attenuation allows some visibility of the red beam — a practical advantage when aligning equipment or verifying beam paths.

The glasses meet Australian, New Zealand, and international standards, including:

  • AS/NZS 1337.5 and AS/NZS ISO 19818.1:2023 for laser eye protection

  • AS/NZS IEC 60825.14:2014 and AS/NZS 1336:2014 for safe laser use

  • EN 207/208 and FDA compliance for international consistency
