Laser safety is critical in environments where high-powered medical, dental, and industrial lasers are in use. The LG-090 Lightweight Polycarbonate Laser Safety Glasses provide certified eye protection that meets EN207 CE standards, designed for work with Holmium, Erbium, and CO2 lasers across a wide wavelength range.
Polycarbonate filters are valued for their lightweight design compared to heavier glass filters. This makes them more comfortable for extended wear without compromising protection. The LG-090 filter provides both robust shielding and high visibility, which is essential for precision tasks in medical and laboratory settings.
Optical Density (OD) Coverage
The LG-090 glasses cover a broad spectrum of laser wavelengths with specific Optical Density (OD) ratings to ensure adequate eye protection:
-
190–400 nm → OD 5+
-
1450–1650 nm → OD 2+
-
1650–1775 nm → OD 3+
-
1775–3000 nm → OD 4+
-
1980–2550 nm → OD 5+
-
5200–11000 nm → OD 5+
-
9000–10600 nm → OD 6+
These values reflect the level of attenuation, reducing laser intensity to safe levels for the human eye.
CE Rating Performance
The LG-090 has been independently certified under EN207 CE standards, ensuring compliance with strict European regulations for laser eye protection. The ratings are as follows:
-
1400–1450 nm → DI LB1
-
1450–1650 nm → DI LB2
-
1650–1800 nm → DI LB3
-
1800–3000 nm & 5200–11000 nm → DI LB4
These CE levels confirm robust protection against continuous and pulsed laser exposure in the specified wavelength ranges.
Visible Light Transmission (VLT)
The Visible Light Transmission (VLT) of the LG-090 glasses is 41%, allowing for clear vision while maintaining protection. This balance ensures that users can perform tasks safely without losing visual accuracy.
Applications
The wavelength coverage makes these glasses suitable for environments where Holmium lasers (2100 nm), Erbium lasers, and CO2 lasers (10,600 nm) are commonly used. They are relevant across fields such as:
-
Medical laser procedures (dermatology, dentistry, ophthalmology)
-
Scientific laboratories
-
Telecom laser work
Conclusion
The LG-090 Lightweight Polycarbonate Laser Safety Glasses combine EN207 CE certification, broad OD coverage, and a lightweight design, making them an effective choice for professionals who require reliable protection against Holmium, Erbium, and CO2 lasers.
