Product Information
Full details
The Laser 4907 Leak Detection Glasses are designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts working with vehicle air conditioning systems, plumbing, and other trades requiring leak detection. Their primary benefit is enabling hands-free, enhanced visibility of fluorescent dyes under UV light, making leaks easier to spot. A key caveat is that they do not offer protection against high-speed particles. Key features include integrated UV LEDs for dye enhancement and a hands-free design.

FAQs
Are these glasses suitable for general eye protection?
No, these glasses are specifically designed for leak detection using UV light and do not provide protection against high-speed particles or other physical hazards.
What type of dye works best with these glasses?
The glasses are designed to enhance the visibility of standard UV-fluorescent leak detection dyes used in automotive A/C and other trades. Ensure your dye is compatible with UV light.
How do I power the UV LEDs?
The glasses are powered by batteries. Please refer to the product manual for the specific battery type and instructions on how to insert them.
Can I use these glasses in bright sunlight?
While the UV light is powerful, extreme daylight conditions can make leak detection more challenging. It is often best to use them in shaded areas or at dusk/night for optimal results.
What trades are these glasses most useful for?
They are ideal for automotive air conditioning technicians, plumbers, HVAC maintenance personnel, marine and agricultural specialists, and anyone needing to identify security markings.
How should I clean the lenses?
Use a soft, lint-free cloth slightly dampened with water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Do I need to wear these over my prescription glasses?
The product description does not specify if they are designed to fit over prescription glasses. It is recommended to check the product dimensions or consult the manufacturer if this is a requirement.
Troubleshooting
UV LEDs do not turn on
Check and replace the batteries. Ensure the batteries are inserted correctly according to polarity markings.
Dye is not visible under UV light
Confirm that the correct type of UV-fluorescent dye has been used and properly introduced into the system. Ensure sufficient time has passed for the dye to circulate and leak. Clean any debris from the suspected leak area.
Reduced UV light output
Batteries may be low. Replace batteries. Ensure the LED lenses are clean and free from smudges or dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The glasses are designed for immediate use. Ensure the UV LEDs are functional by activating their power source (typically batteries, check product manual for specifics).
Compatibility: These glasses are compatible with standard UV-fluorescent leak detection dyes commonly used in automotive A/C, plumbing, and other related industries. They are not designed for general vision correction or as safety glasses for impact protection.
Care: Clean the lenses and frames with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the materials or the UV LED components. Store the glasses in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and damage to the LEDs.
