They work in several ways. First the ones for full spectrum also corrects the cri so you can see the true colors. Secondly it protects against uvb. Third extreme intensity of the grow lights can easily damage the eyes ime, i use leds too and they emit nearly zero uvb (tho full spectrum blurple lights may emit more not sure) but still the intensity hurts the eyes, i use a normal sunglass too because of the low uvb from leds but when i don’t and work with my plants for an hour or so under those lights, i can feel my eyes feel sore and weird.Being new to everything, I was really surprised to see actual grow sunglasses. Seems like a pretty popular thing, so I am thinking about getting some. But, I am curious as to what they are for. Is it just because of the intensity of the light, or is it preventing damage from the UV lights (I have LED)? What makes grow glasses, well, sunglasses for growing in particular?
A big part of me is curious if my Costa sunglasses that I have been wearing works perfectly fine, or do I think that it is fine but I am actually causing damage that I do not know about. When I wear them while working in the tent with the light on, it does darken things up a bit, but I also feel like I'm seeming color a bit more normally through the glasses.

Yes, also there are cheap chinese cobs that are truly pink, i think the term fits to those lights better but i think people use blurple as a generic term for all of those lights.Lol I have seen the "blurple" term tossed around a few times. What is that? The full spectrum lights that have the reds and blues?
Ya ever wear fishing shades? Cheaper and affordable.
good to know... i've just been using my regular sunglasses for now till i order some. regular better than nothing right?Basically in a nut shell. Regular sunglasses will protect you from the harmful rays. However, if you want color correction too....Method Seven grow room glasses. This is especially true for the burple LEDs and HPS.
