1.5 years after purchasing the LED glasses (using most days) they f-ing break at the nose line (occurred as i put them on). Anyone else had this issue? *pics below*
Given the price; imo these glasses are shamelessly badly constructed (using bad plastic that gets brittle over time). I work in QA so know this is dodgy/cheap construction. For the price they should have metal frames ..or at least made from a plastic that isn't so weak to stretch stresses.
fyi - The location where they broke is where the most pressure occurs as you put the glasses on. Really poorly thought out frame design (especially if you have a big cranium, like me :)

And being in the UK returning these bloody glasses would take far too long for my needs (therefore a superglue patch job will need to be done). Oh ..and the screws (that connect the arms to the rest of the frame) constantly come loose and need to be tightened (every month or so). Not happy with Method Seven right now.

They have that fusing for plastic you could try. I know that sucks. I use sunglasses with polarized lenses for $20 I am known to be cheap.

Honestly looks about the same quality material as the essentially disposable safety glasses I've used for the past 10+ years. I guess you're paying for that proprietary green tint, lol. Although this is good to know I was considering a pair, now I'll look to a cheap ebay/amazon knock off for a fraction of the price

I bought Uvex brand goggles with the green shade 3 lenses. Looks like regular sunglasses but they have a seal around the frame. They came with a strap and the two legs. Snap either off, use either. I use mine with the strap for use while riding a motorcycle. Decently stout glasses. I believe they ran me about $20.

started the 'laser bond' repair. Actually quite cool stuff! The light is a UV led and about 5/10 secs of light exposure causes the glue to harden. Just building up some layers then i'll leave for 24hrs(to be safe) then see whats what.

tried some art and did a bird design on top ..sort of :)

Well the fix worked (although i'll be extra careful in future with these glasses).
This laser bond stuff does indeed rock :)

fyi - Looking into the method seven lenses themselves; it 'seems' the special feature that costs the bucks is they give the user a true colour view when looking at 'blurple' led lights (as they specifically block LED colours like red and blue more then other spectrum colours). Allowing you to assess you plants in 'normal' colour when the led unit/s are on. You can also place them in front of your camera lens and take pics of a 'blurple' growroom and the pics come out 'normal' in colour ..and if you just have a standard light fitting in the grow room all this gets negated i guess :)

With that in mind; I wonder if you could safley use them as sunglasses ..or would the specific LED spectrum blocking cause an issue? Oh well, i'm happy to leave that mystery alone.

thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Boys you're paying through the nose for $1 worth of plastic.. Get cheapies and be done with it!

On a side note, I don't have any eye protection as im a lazy stoner and after only 4 weeks of exposure to bright led/cmh I have noticeably degraded my eye sight.. Fuck yeah totally worth it! ;)
