walshie Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Found a pair of red safety glasses in the shed. These are bigger than normal glasses, smaller than goggles, but have elastic attached to each arm to go round your head. The frame is red, the lens is red and there is a soft rubber piece across the top of them whey press against your forehead. The world looks pretty rosy through them, but what are red goggles for? Never seen them before. Edited April 6, 2020 by walshie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave at kelton Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 They clearly belonged to a politician. Best return them before you see start to the world in an unrealistic light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneshot1979 Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 Normally used to make a laser level easier to see in daylight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 I've seen different colours which are supposed to make working outdoors easier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to wear them and tell everyone I'm Bono. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paddy Galore! Posted April 6, 2020 Report Share Posted April 6, 2020 i'd go with the laser answer, we didn't have red goggles when I worked in a foundry, we need clear vision, red would just impair it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
