Red and near-infrared laser systems are commonly used throughout U.S. medical, research, and industrial facilities, particularly in diode-based technologies and therapeutic light applications. While often operating at moderate power levels, these wavelengths can still present serious retinal and thermal hazards. The LG-004 laser safety glasses are engineered to provide verified broadband attenuation and meet the requirements of ANSI-based laser safety programs.
Spectral Protection Range and Optical Density
The LG-004 delivers continuous attenuation from 625 nm to 850 nm, covering a wide range of red and infrared laser and LED sources.
Performance highlights include:
-
OD 4+ from 625–850 nm
-
OD 5+ at 633 nm
-
OD 5+ UV protection from 190–400 nm, supporting environments with ancillary ultraviolet exposure
This makes the eyewear suitable for multi-technology laser workplaces.
EN207 Resistance Ratings and Exposure Modes
The lenses are marked in accordance with EN207 requirements, confirming resistance across multiple laser emission conditions:
-
625–670 + >800–830 nm – I LB4
-
625–830 nm – DR LB4
-
670–800 nm – I LB5
-
830–850 nm – DIR LB3
-
850–860 nm – DIR LB2
Ultraviolet resistance markings:
-
180–315 nm – D LB7 + R LB3
-
315–395 nm – D LB5 + R LB6
These markings validate performance beyond basic optical density ratings.
Visibility, Fit, and Peripheral Protection
The LG-004 offers a 12% VLT, allowing controlled visibility while maintaining effective laser attenuation. The wraparound frame design improves side coverage, reducing exposure from scattered or reflected beams.
A universal fit-over construction accommodates prescription eyewear, while adjustable temples enhance comfort and stability during prolonged wear.
Standards Compliance and Product Support
The LG-004 is manufactured in the USA and certified to ANSI Z136, EN207/208, CE, and AS/NZS 2211.1:2004 standards, supporting use in regulated U.S. laser environments.
Supplied accessories include a protective storage case, adjustable head strap, and lens cleaning cloth. The product is backed by a 24-month warranty.
The LG-004 laser safety glasses provide certified, broadband protection for red and near-infrared laser applications while supporting visibility, comfort, and compliance. Their extended wavelength coverage and verified EN207 markings make them a dependable choice for U.S. professionals managing laser-related eye hazards.
