CMH Light and Eye Protection

I definitely want to protect my eyes, but at the same time I don't want to break the bank for eye wear. Thankfully I don't care if I look like a tool, so I'm looking to pay for function as opposed to how rad it looks.

Would these be suitable for use when working around a CMH light (315W)?

I just use my regular sunglasses. I have 2 x 315w in my tent and I've noticed headaches/migraines if I spend too much time at the tent without the glasses.

I had some method 7's a while ago then lost them. They're the best glasses but I grabbed a couple pairs of these since they were cheap. They lenses are pretty much the same as the hps method 7 glasses. The frame is cheap plastic. They work pretty well though.

Those are safety glasses, and I can tell you from experience with probably 30-40 pairs I have gone through that none have had good UV protection. I get eye strain during the day outside with them, and when I swap to oakleys the strain is instantly brought down. Get some good sunglasses with good lenses, or get grow glasses. I just picked up the Apollo HPS glasses for $15 on Amazon. They work well and have less eye strain than my oakleys. Best of luck, and protect your eyes.

If you want to look badass look into SavePhace welder masks.

But you want to save $ and don't care about looks.. $5.99 sounds good?

Berkeley Anglers, available in the sporting goods section of Walmart. $12.97 for dark tint, polarized, UVA,UVB protection.

They're made for staring into sun glare on the water, so you can still see fish.

For looking at filaments or COBs themselves, grade 5 welding shades.

I'm a SpiderWire fan myself, only because the screws don't rust out as fast saltwater fishing.

Fishing? Get your ass back in the growroom, you ain't growing nothing useful holding your rod and waving it around!

I'm in process of building it. But I'm procrastinating today. What is wrong with getting your pole wet? Besides it's Mahi season!
