sunglasses in your growrooms?

[sam_i_am]

does anyone here where sunglasses while under the lights in the growroom? i am asking because i read an interesting article about people exposed to these types of lights at short distances for prolonged periods of tiime.i personally do, and if they ned to come off i remove the plant in question and remove them outside the growspace. the article said that vision loss, and neurologic damage can be done after prolonged sessions under these lamps, first things may get blurry, then you have to squint to see and in extreme cases people have gone blind enough to have there licenses taken away.
also it said it could lead to light sensetivity and horrible headaches...they called it something and compared it to migranes.

I don't but I may put a pair of sunglass in there....why not....makes sense, especially when I'm face to face with a 600w HPS daily...

Never nothing but I may start wearing some protection now that you've made me think about it, K+ to you kind sir! Peace and Respect...

best too wear full protection. even cover your arms up. and wear gloves every time you mix water... doing this everyday over years will build up.

Ha ha, i thought i was the only person who walks round there grow room with a tacky pair of sunglasses on. Took me ages to find a pair that was actually dark enough, i'm sure mine are some sort of mild welding glasses lol.

I've been under these lights a lot lately then going into complete darkness. I have a torch and still can't see where the hell I'm walking once the lights go out, I've walked into walls thinking its a door before.

Don't ya ever get a big white blob infront of your eyes, like your looking at the light even if your no-where near it. I just knew it couldn't be good so got the shades out and i've been happy (but looking stupid a la bono) ever since.

[og dmc]

I can honestly say you should wear glasses in there. I think my sight is permanetly affected. My vision has become a little blurry.

[budboy299]

although I never have before...certainly makes sense that anything that bright could damage the eyes. Every little bit of damage over a lifetime builds up

my room

Try walking into my room w/o eye protection. You are squinting so bad you get a massive headache in 5 minutes. 20, 1000 watt lights burning w/o reflectors.

Not a bad idea if your using canes for supports,was in my room a couple of weeks ago and bent down to water a plant and got a cane straight in the teeth didn't see it.A couple of inchs either way and it would have been straight in the eye;)

 

[kid606]

hmm..never really thought about it..good point..:drunk

 

[spinkus]

Doubleds I wouldn't walk into your 20,000w garden without suntan lotion! Much less without shades!
