Rainbow Symphony Eclipse Glasses - Safe Solar Viewers - Eclipse Shades ISO and CE Certified

Arrived earlier than expected.We had a very good experience while watching the solar eclipse and none got eyes pain.

I hope these will be great for watching a solar eclipse.

The product itself is fine, and the front section does span my wide eyeglasses, but the earpieces are not long enough to fit securely on a large adult head.

Six months after the eclipse and I am still not blind! I laugh at you SUN! BHAHAHAHAH!Pros:-Stare into the sun-prevents going blind while staring at the sun.-fits over eye glasses-fits just about anyone's head-Prevents stress as you can't see scary things going on around you-You get 20 of them!-also good for staring at light bulbs!-Will prevent eye contact with other people-great for listening to the radio-great for hiding your true identity-Did I mention I'm still not blind after staring into the heart of our star??!?Cons:(the following is presented for humor, I mean they only have one use.)-not very stylish-not peril sensitive so they never get any brighter.-can't walk in them without tripping or running into things-can't drive in them. Insurance company still refuses to pay up.-made out of card board so not very comfortable.-Doesn't work underwater-only notes one eclipse on the front-Dog barks at me when I wear them.-terrible for 3D movies-not able to play catch while wearing them.-difficult to sleep in-difficult to read in-Can't use them for welding as they seem to catch on fire.-My wife keeps telling me to take them off.-resale value seems to have fallen substantially after the eclipse for reasons I am unable to ascertain.-No zoom or focus available-Not HD or 4K.-People stare at me. (or so I am told)

of course they are light weight, as long as I don't get my eyes burned out in April of 2024 I'll be happy. Buying these now to beat the rush.

I purchased these in preparation for two solar events in 2012.May 20: Annular Solar eclipse from Denver Colorado. Annular means that the moon appears slightly smaller than the sun and will leave a ring during totality. From Denver we will see about 79% totality.June 5: A very rare transit of Venus. This is similar to a solar eclipse from the moon, except that Venus appears much smaller.When I received the Eclipse glasses, I went directly to my back yard and was quite excited to see a large sun spot for the first time in real time. Yeah, these work as advertised.I didn't give them a 5 so I could catch the attention of those that think this is a perfect solution for viewing the sun. The only problem I noticed is a good amount of ambient glare comes in from the sides of the glasses and reflects off of the inside into my eyes. Cupping my hands around the glasses helps a little bit. Otherwise these glasses work perfectly.After I became aware of the glare, I decided to purchase the Hobart 770096 welding glasses and two 50mm shade 14 lenses. Be aware that shade 14 lenses are required for viewing the sun. The welding glasses come with shade 5 lenses which are inadequate for viewing the sun. Don't take my word for it, do your homework.
