- Page 5 Equinox Geometrix Laser Safety Class 3B Laser Lighting Effect User Safety Guide ProLight Concepts Limited Important Warnings Class 3B Lasers have the potential to harm eyesight if viewed directly in the face, and in many instances this may be the case, even if viewed over longer distances of several tens of metres.
- Page 6 Equinox Geometrix Laser Safety What is a laser? A laser is device that produces a special kind of light that is different from normal light sources. Laser light sources differ from normal light sources in that they can produce very intense beams of light that can remain parallel over long distances.
- Page 7 Equinox Geometrix Laser Safety What harm can a Class 3B Laser cause? Class 3B laser devices can be harmful to eyesight if viewed directly. i.e. that is, the beam or effect strikes the face of a person. The actual injury that a Class 3B laser can cause depends upon a number of factors, including how long the laser beam enters the eye for, the intensity of light, and what part of the eye it actually gets focused onto.
- Page 8 Equinox Geometrix Laser Safety Class 3B Laser Product Features Class 3B laser products are required to have several specific safety features as part of their design. These features are laid out in the British Standard on Laser Product Safety BS/EN 60825- 1:2007 and are a requirement of the product meeting CE approvals.
- Page 9 Equinox Geometrix Laser Safety Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) The amount of laser light that a person can be exposed to without it causing harm to eyesight is known as the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) or Exposure Limit Value (ELV). These levels are defined the in the British Laser Safety Standard BS/EN 60826-1:2007, and more recently in the Laser H&S regulations.
- Page 10 Equinox Geometrix Laser Safety Diagrams showing Separation Distances Note. The 3 metre height specified is not the height of the actual projector, but it refers to the height of the laser effect. Therefore having the laser projector positioned at 3m height and aimed directly down is not what the guidance is saying.
- Page 11 Equinox Geometrix Laser Safety What types of effect are safe to scan directly at audiences? Fast moving laser effects with evenly distributed scan patterns, such as circular tunnels are generally safer than effects such as finger beams, or effects with pronounced bright spots in them. Diffraction grating type effects are typically safer to point towards an audience, as long as the bright central spots are kept above head height.
