Hows ur eyes!

I have gotten used to barebulb brightness. Refer any good products you use for eye protection. Talk about seasonal light therapy.

Those vertical tracers look cool when you go to a pitch black room. Retna burn can be very trippy.

yeaah it sucks even with horiz. bulbs, mine sit right above eye level and i get some crazy acid like tracers once i walk out of the room to dark hallway.

welders goggles help

im tall but i try to krrp my head above the light, but mine is on a lightrail so i keep it pretty low i always have sunglasses on too i wear my stunna glasses at night

so tonight i went in my room, and low and behold.. i forgot my sunglasses.. THANKS!!

sfguy how do you set up the light rail with a vert bulb. I thought about this, but i do
t have a rail. Do you put bulb inside, collusium style or are you above them?

Love my glasses and my vision

Lastnight was my first fire up with bare bulbs..
I have 2000 watts vertical. I also just put in a brand new digilux bulb in one fixture. (other is hortilux eye).
I thought it was just my imagination, but I have grown with 2000 watts for a while now - always in cool tubes... and it just was SOOO bright. Is it really due to bare bulbs that much extra light is given off? I have only got a 250 watt HPS bare bulb, so I don't have much to compare to. All the guys I know who grow are either outdoor growers, or are using cool tube set ups.

Sorry - just never seen the difference and thought I was just smug at the new set up....

I got some shade #5 If I remember right torching sunglasses work fucking great. Got em off the snap-on dude sure matco, and mac tools got em too

Sunglasses designed for folks to wear after cataracts surgery are my choice.

^^^ yup old man shades I find protect the sides of my eyes.
If I go in with a 10k bare vert and no shades my eyes water for the next day! Don't do it looking direct at the bulb is not good in any shades except shade 5 and up . If you have UVB 4k+ bulbs turn them off if your gonna spend hours in there or you may get a gross red uv burn ...

Welding Goggles work great!

Here's the cheapest set I could find on ebay, I haven't bought this particular set though: http://www.ebay.com/itm/QTY-2-WELDERS-WELDING-CUTTING-SAFETY-GOGGLES-GLASSES-/300630290921?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item45fef631e9

Get some sunglasses fool... make sure they look classy

I got 5,000 vertical bare bulb. I try to wear welding goggles or sunglasses at all times but sometimes you do what you got to do.

Driving at night has become an interesting and frightening experience after spending time in the grow room.

I just recently went vert and welding goggles for sure are needed they work mint

Has anyone tried the Method 7 knock-offs available on amazon for like 30 bucks? I need something else, decent, regular sunglasses don't really cut it for me anymore.

Worth it? Or should I put the 30 towards some M7's because I would be wishing I had anyways?

Just use VHS tape wrapped around your head like a mummy

Good sunglasses are required.

Turn the fucking bulb off and let it cool before working in there, bulb burns are the vert crowd's equivalent of Jeff Foxworthy's 'stupid card'.

Wear your shades around ALL high intensity lighting, including veg; even the light from T5 tubes includes plenty of UV and that's cumulative long term irreversible damage leading to macular degeneration... which is how they'll know what you used to do when you're old.
