Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Please see my attached pics. I got concerned when I saw the news about so many fakes & recalls, so I did some reading.... According to the American Astronomical Society: " You shouldn't be able to see anything through a safe solar filter except the Sun itself or something comparably bright, such as the Sun reflected in a mirror, a sunglint off shiny metal, the hot filament of an unfrosted incandescent light bulb, a bright halogen light bulb, a bright-white LED flashlight (including the one on your smartphone), or an arc-welder's torch. All such sources should appear quite dim through a solar viewer." and "Safe solar filters produce a view of the Sun that is comfortably bright (like the full Moon), in focus, and surrounded by dark sky." So I did my own tests. As you can see from my photos this very bright multi-LED work light is basically blocked out entirely by these glasses. If I shield off all the surrounding lights I can just BARELY make out the individual LEDs (see photo). This sounds exactly what the AAS described as 'such sources being quite dim' I also tested them in real life. It was quite comfortable viewing the sun through them, the sun was a very comfortable level of brightness, and sharp contrast to the dark sky. I carefully took a photo which I've included here. Some other interesting info directly from NASA about viewing duration and expiration: "Note: If your eclipse glasses or viewers are compliant with the ISO 12312-2 safety standard, you may look at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed Sun through them for as long as you wish. Furthermore, if the filters aren't scratched, punctured, or torn, you may reuse them indefinitely. Some glasses/viewers are printed with warnings stating that you shouldn't look through them for more than 3 minutes at a time and that you should discard them if they are more than 3 years old. Such warnings are outdated and do not apply to eclipse viewers compliant with the ISO 12312-2 standard adopted in 2015. " Hope this helps. Having done these 'checks' i feel comfortable with my family using these glasses.
