I just picked up a cheap eBay 405nm laser to play with. From what I understand, this model is putting out between 750mW and 1W (based on testing results posted on these forums and from a friend who put one on a LPM). It came with a set of glasses that look identical to these...

Being that these are Chinese glasses, I'm kind of nervous about them. I've never used safety glasses with visible lasers before (just IR) so I'm not 100% sure what to expect. I've seen these glasses recommended here but I've also read negative comments about them.
With the glasses on I cannot see the beam but the dot is quite visible (tested on non-reflective surfaces like carpet). The dot looks kind of redish with some blue fringing.
I'm wondering what I should expect to see if the glasses are actually blocking the proper frequency? Should the dot be visible?
I searched around and didn't find a definite answer to this question so I figured it was worth a new post.
Thanks!
