Since the goggles make the sight much darker, the iris automatically widens to let more light pass, while the imperceptible ultraviolet light is still unfiltered however, hence then causing greater damage to the retina when looking at the sun. It's the same reason for why not to look at the sun with cheap sunglasses (missing UV-filter) or at solar eclipse (it's dark but UV is still there).
What's the point of the welding goggles if they don't protect against UV? There is significant UV generated during the process of welding. The damage is hardly just because it's bright, it also generates significant UV. That being said, you shouldn't look at the sun directly with any sunglasses as none of them are rated to deal with that much light. Even if a pair is rated to 100% UV and 99.9% light in general, 0.01% of that much, is still enough to damage the eyes.

Hard to believe this video is from 12 years ago,It goes to show how KipKays videos are timeless his videos are amazing and will always be a great youtuber.
Hadn't seen A kipkay video since I was a kid! Crazy how time flies. This is the video I remembered most easily. Little bit of childgood nostalgia right here. Thanks Kipkay. ❤
I made a pair of these and they're pretty cool! Most vegetation leaves I can partially see through. Certain kinds of cloth I can partially see through. Grass very light while many objects dark, so it's easy to find lost items in the lawn. Contrary to what the video said, a clear blue sky looks completely black, not "deep blue". Btw, I used 4 sheets of Congo Blue and 4 sheets of Primary Red over each eye for a total of 8 sheets. It takes a few minutes for your eyes to adjust.
You can also build your own x-ray goggles that work the same way. Just replace the colored plastic pieces in the video with solid metal ones (not lead). This will only let x-rays though. Wikked cool!
right, u are seeing the red spectrum. infrared light and ultraviolet are bad for the eyes. we actually cant see any light spectrum, just the reflections off of material. we cant see the reflections of infrared or ultraviolet. the sky is blue because the ozone doesnt filter the blue light spectrum. good note
+cloudy skies Mmmmm..... No, wrong. People can see certain spectrums, not just the reflection off of objects -if not, no one would see anything except maybe a blur in between objects. As far as infared and ultraviolet, they are only dangerous at high levels -which is why the ozone layer does it for us. I have no idea what this guy is trying to do (if anything),, but blocking more ir and uv light isn't going to hurt him! You may want to check your facts more closely. That's just a note though.
Jacob Morell actually you can see infrared light but it’s not what it actually looks like. It looks red or purple to us but that isn’t what it actually looks like it’s just what you’re eyes interpret it as
Even though the visible range is quoted to be 390nm to 700nm, this isn't universal, just as the hearing range isn't universal. Although there isn't much variation from person to person, most can see up to 730nm. Some people may even be able to see as far as 800nm as a deep, blood red color. The range from 700nm to 750nm or 800nm is called the Far Red, that's what these goggles actually let you see. They block out all other visible wavelengths except the Far Red.
Thank you for all the memories kipkay! I'm 25 now, remember watching those, time really does fly.. I was dreaming to meet you as a kid haha... All the best man, THANK YOU!
I just tried this with folded 3D-glasses and it looks so awesome, i totally recommend trying it! It actually DOES let you see IR, because the human eye is very slightly sensitive to it. Some opaque plastic bags turn transparent and stuff, which proves that it's IR light you see
I thought about doing that but then realized that these goggles would just filter out visible light. They would not make the invisible IR waves visible. If you put the filter these goggles create on a camera, then it would be able to show JUST the IR. But if you wanna see in the dark with IR, get an IR flashlight and use a camera(even the ones in cell phones work for this). the Camera can see the IR and, on the LCD display, shows it in the visible range you can see. :)
You know the feeling of coming from a dark room to a light room, and your eyes kinda hurt? If you look into the sun with real IR goggles, it's that feeling. TIMES 9000
Instead of 4 blue gels and 1 red gel (4:1) in each eye piece, try 3 blue gels and 2 red gels (3:2)! I made 2 filters, one with 4:1 gel ratio and the other with 3:2 for my Canon 400D, the 4:1 filter allows for a more traditional looking IR pic while the 3:2 allows for a really intense Color IR pic...
The amount of butthurt in the comments is insane. Yes, he got the science wrong, but the effect does work and what you will be seeing is in fact near infrared light. Human photoreceptors have a very weak but real sensitivity to NIR, which you can see for yourself by staring into the LED of a TV remote.
There is some truth to that but you would need to flood the area with light to see much. The whole idea with IR is seeing in the dark, which is not possible with these things, for most people anyway. The filters are right though and would work with a camera and image intensifier.
what we need is not a filter, we need a converter infrared ray to visible ray. so can you believe two (red & blue) films enable this? hahaha. can you listen radio broadcasting too? with just toilet paper?
I had vision problems before seeming this video. I followed the instructions to make the goggles looked at the sun and now my vision is back to normal. You do have to do it for 10 minutes for this to work.
Daniel Daigle a few comments up nailed it but also you have to realize that your eye is a lens, like a magnifying glass, so if you pupils are wide open its is worse. IR light can cause harm just the same as visible light. I have never tested it, but try covering a magnifying glass with an IR film and look at it with a camera. Focus it like as if you are burning a stick in the sunlight. That's what it can do to your eyes. Closed pupil, not enough to damage, open pupil, full effect.
Your pupils contract in accordance to visible light. Them contracting protects them from excess light that can cause damage. Especially UV. By blocking all visible light but not UV or IR your eyes don't contract properly potentially letting in more of the invisible spectrum than they should leading to damage.
This doesn't work. You can't see infrared light. He even says "it passes the invisible IR" light, so if it's invisible how could you possibly see it? You need a camera with an IR lens and sensor with IR bandwidth to convert the IR to a visible band. This goggles method is ridiculous.
He meant invisible "to the naked eye", moron. If you couldn't even decipher something that simple to understand, then you aren't as smart as you pretend to be, talking about "bandwidth" and sensors; sounding like you're some fucking electronics-genius. Smh.
***** I happen to be a "Fucking electronics genius", and I can tell you that John here is completely correct. If you don't have anything smart to say, piss off.
@Martial, So far nothing you have said is "smart". Tell me this, if this was so plausible, then what is the need for real IR goggles that use CCD's and image intensifiers if all you need is colored plastic inside goggles?
I beg to differ. Secondly, I didn't say this was the equivalent of having real goggles; I merely indicated how it's stupid of this guy to talk about "bandwidth" and other techie-bullshit, while being unable to comprehend a simple statement in the video. Maybe he's just "too-smart", I guess. He couldn't come down far enough into this atmosphere to get it ... *rolls eyes*. Loser.
Martial, I'm not sure who you are replying to, but technically, just because you put a filter in front of your eyes to filter out all but the IR band, it will not result in seeing IR light. That's like saying that if you put a thin piece aluminum in front of your eyes you could see X-Rays. The premise of this video with colored goggles is not plausible on a practical level.
Seriously man.... Why would you even do something like this??? IR's main use is not for daylight its for night ops weather it be hunting, policing, or military. Thanks for wasting my time!
Although it is not wise for you to look at the sun with IR glasses, your eyes aren't being exposed to anymore light than without them on. In fact you are being exposed to less light, particularly important, the UV light is gone. Even if you are wearing a 850nm camera lens over your eye, the pupil will still retract in the same manner as if it were exposed to normal light.
Kipkay, there is an easier way. You know those Real D 3D glasses? 1. Find 2 glasses.(Real D 3D) 2. Take off lens. 3.If you take one of each and put them on top of each other you can view infared light. If it doesn't work, try different combinations.
Human eye can see a tiny bit of NIR (around 700-750nm) and you can also see the IR leds glowing slightly red in security cameras when your eyes are adjusted to the darkness. I tried this with a piece of plastic which is opaque in visible light but transparent in IR. It worked but it was very dim, you could barely see at all :-)
hi mate I was wondering if I've made a light as in a powerful torch that shines only infrared light at night time will your Goggles be able to see that the infrared light which is coming from my powerful halogen torch or do I need a device to see the infrared light which is being shined from the halogen torch
I wanna make these truly night vision by installing lights. But would infrared LEDs from tv remotes work with these, or will these only work with regular LEDs?
Guys I've been planning to make this one where can I get Primary red and Congo blue? They don't have that kind of things in my country I've been searching a lot for weeks
If you mounted an infrared illuminator and an infrared focusable flashlight or laser to a rifle and added these lenses to your 3x9 power scope would you be able to see decently? I wanted to make this one of my projects. Any thoughts or advise would be greatly appreciated.
Ricardo, While it DOES create the low pass filter and cut out most visible light, it does NOT make the IR 'light' visible to us. The filters are in no way changing the IR 'light' to visible light, thus, these are worthless for 'seeing' IR. Don't believe it? Build them and then use them to look into a TV remote while you press buttons. Then do this to a digital camera and see the difference. You can see the IR only in the LCD display of the camera, NOT through the goggles.(wish I was wrong)
I wouldn't know what to do with those goggles. But I've successfully used the same well-known recipe (3 layers of Congo Blue and 1 of Primary Red) in order to block the direct flash of a point-and-shoot camera, yet allow the IR light to trigger a slave flash. Yes, you can go Strobist / Joe McNally with a point-and-shoot too.
I was wondering if you could use a red and blue sharpie to color plastic red and blue. Can you do that instead of the blue and red stuff you buy? It seems I seen a post that said you could but can't find it now.
However your eyes can not see infrared cameras are usually able to see infrared. If u using a camera you can remove infrared blocking filter to allow IR to pass trough of u can use long exposures if u still have IR blocking filter. Trough a camera you will be able to see IR leds.
Crazy how 15 years flies by, just like that…

Human eye can see a tiny bit of NIR (around 700-750nm) and you can also see the IR leds glowing slightly red in security cameras when your eyes are adjusted to the darkness. I tried this with a piece of plastic which is opaque in visible light but transparent in IR. It worked but it was very dim, you could barely see at all :-)
So it doesn't detect moving object at night ? only during broad daylight ?
so if i go around at night shining a ir flashlight while wearing this, does that mean i can see in the dark?
Wouldn't blocking all visible light cause you to see black, not infrared? How do you gain the ability to see infrared?
They are also very fashionable :-)
My 3D glasses will work just as good.

I was wondering if you could use a red and blue sharpie to color plastic red and blue. Can you do that instead of the blue and red stuff you buy? It seems I seen a post that said you could but can't find it now.
I wonder if doing this could re-create the red night vision the soldiers used to apparently see flying gargoyles.
I wonder what would happen if you use these at night time?
However your eyes can not see infrared cameras are usually able to see infrared. If u using a camera you can remove infrared blocking filter to allow IR to pass trough of u can use long exposures if u still have IR blocking filter. Trough a camera you will be able to see IR leds.
Can this give you an edge playing laser tag? N if yes can u get blinded if ppl shoot ur eyes?
i'm gonna make those and tell my friend to look into the sun, lol
And they will be your enemy.
