LASER waning sing

[greenalien]

Yes, the correction should be the combination of the subject's own lens in their eye plus the specs - however, this is only true when they are aligned properly. How about if the laser beam enters from an angle? I've known people whose lenses look like massive magnifying glasses, so much so that they have to take extra care not to get burnt around their eyes on a sunny day!
(incidentally, long sighted people often only need specs for reading and will not be wearing then at an event anyway - but how about bifocals? Also, long sight largely affects people over 50 - what's the average age of a lasershow audience?) Perhaps signage needs to include something to warn longsighted people to remove their eyewear?

...long sight largely affects people over 50

Over 40 actually

Oh, and the 'official' terminology is Presbyopia

[Insanity]

Whaddya reckon?

[mccarrot]

Those people would not notice eye damage anyway, so don't care.

I had a discussion before with Greg Makhov about good (or bad) vision having affect, but he says this is very small factor.

I also found out LASER warning signs differ much from European and US.

I have made a European style version:

Wat do you think about it?

[Paul]

Would it not make more sense to you to make the sign in the language of the country you are going to use it?
I am not 100% sure, but I think it is even mandatory in the Dutch law....

[mccarrot]

Yes, I also have a Dutch version of this sign, but when discussing the general text and layout of this sign it make more sense to do it in English becouse most people dont understand dutch here.

I would replace 'direct' by 'rechtstreeks'

[White-Light]

Looks like double Dutch to me.

I like the clean look though.

I also like the avoid staring into static beam wording - much less suggestive in the negative sense.

[mccarrot]

@ FourDee, I have changed direct into rechtstreeks

@ Whitelight, the clean look is not made by me, I just too the official EN caution sign as example:

[Paul]

If I may make a suggestion wording wise;
I would replace "Opgelet" with "Let op!" since that is a more common way to attract attention. Also "Sterke" I would replace for "Krachtige"...

I think you may find page 86 of this useful for Euro/IEC signs:

Here is a great Warning label generator,

My favorite is the caution pot leaf lol

Here also has Street sign and Tombstone label generators.
But I think you this could be of good use.
