Welding glasses if you work with your lights on. Best advice? Don't work with your lights on at all. Those shades are more for horizontal setups to work with lights on.

Looking at any cfl is unhealthy but ya the 65k are horrible. Full spectrum 5000k or bright white 4100k are a better choice for you and the plants. I know 65k is good for blue but the 65k cfl is different than other fluros.

No lol. When you go from a bright space to a darker space quickly your pupils dilate so less light gets into your eye. They adjust fairly quickly and you shouldn't have that dark vision for too long. Nothing to worry about there.

My eyes (and head) sometimes hurt after working in my room but I don't like to turn out the lights... I have welding goggles but never seem to wear them, have Maui Jims too also don't seem to wear them. What's even worse is that I am a professional designer and use my eyes all the time to make a living, I am working on disciplining myself more but I find that the goggles/glasses kind of screw with my productivity in the first place as they seem to obtrusive when I am really in the thick of a tight area trying to get to something tiny.

Dammit, only regret I have about going vertical is that one spinning lamp I have hanging in the middle of everything as It's impossible not to catch it in my vision.

Heed this warning! I worked under a 1000 w my for 6 hours once and learned a very valuable lesson. You cannot really feel your eyes being damaged. I awoke a few hours after completing my work, to the most intense pain. it felt like someone put a cigarette out in my eyes. I thought I was having a stroke or something because I didn't correlate being under the light with this haha. so long story short I went to the hospital and was blind for 4 days, with full vision returning in two weeks. White no joke!
