yes i do, i love my eyesight and allways wear eye protrection, wether its an led or an hps/mh you should alleways use eye protection. dont cheap out on them, and the two differant lights need two seperate types of glasses.
i went for these in the end, not the best, but work just fine, although i have herd that the swimming goggle types offer better protection

Whats the difference between these laser safety glasses they protect from the same nanometers that harm your eyes or are they the same thing

If its for straight UV protection any glasses that filter UV will work. The for such and such a light glasses are for clarity. So you can see plant colors.

I usually just wear a hat and dont look at the light. I also dont spend much time in there when the lights are on.

I doubt its doing anymore damage to my eyes versus being outside on a sunny day. Most LED lights dont produce UV anyways.

i have a 70watt metal halide, 150 watt metal halide and a 400 and 600 and a 1000watt the same. my ballasts are dule ballasts, which means i can run metsal halide or sodium on the same ballast.
i also have 2 mars hydro ts600's 104 watts each, that my mums useing at the moment on her veg, but ivevused them on seedlings and young plants. i then switch them to the big tent under a 250watt for a week, then swap over to a 400 watt metal halide for first part of growth. then switch over to a 600watt sodium/mh dule light bulb for flowering and if i realy want to go to town, ill switch over to the 1000watt fir flowering, you get nice big colas all over a plant with there depth of penatrating light. so no need to lollypop or prune. o can have 9 clones flowering in there in a self suporting sog sea of green set up

yes, the strain is noticeable to me more so with the leds,hen the sodium or metal halide, (especialy with the big sodiums) that could just be because of how close to the light my eyes are

We use these in our grow.. awesome eye protection, no more headaches. I use them outdoors as well. For white light only.. no blurps, or 6K-10K lights. But, they have different ones for different lights/spectrums.... and yes, we use them every time we enter the room without fail.... otherwise, you'll get a headache. I wear a bucket hat as well to keep the lights out of my peripheral vision. Working under 18,000 watts (equivalent) ,8,730 true watts.

I can't tell based on your first post if you're using blurple or white light. Many blurple brands will still claim they use "full spectrum", i.e. ~380-700 nm, when, in fact, their light spectrum is definitely blurple.

Anyway, if you're using blurple lamps you'll want green-tinted glasses, as mentioned above. These will filter (color correct) the light and when you look at your plants under the blurple spectrum, they will still appear green.

If you're using lamps with white light, you do not want green-tinted glasses. With white light you only want to reduce the intensity, which black colored glasses will do. Sunglasses work to some extent and it's worth starting there if you have a pair laying around. If you keep having eye strain you'll need glasses with higher light intensity protection.

We've written a short article on this topic here:

In the article, you'll find our blurple glasses that block around ~60% of light and our black glasses that block around 90% of light.
