Hi Cyteen,

Yes but they are made to protect from UV ( ultraviolet) and the LEDS put out IR (infrared) I don't think the will protect unless you add the foil. Because Foil blocks Infrared which may go right through the UV filter they put on those.

Take care,

V,

It is my understanding that near infrared, espesially 800+ nm, will also damage the eyes. If 880 is used for the head area will just not looking into the diodes be enough protection ???

Thanks,

Andre....
