Help! Eye Protection?

[Chronic Chrissy]

OK so I hooked up my 400w hps bulb in the new grow room for a day or two or dry runs. Now that everything is set up I can't even look in there it's so bright! not just the light, but the whole room. I tryed to just take a glance but, it left me seeing spots for a while. I don't want to burn my eyes, but I can't take proper care of flowering plants if ihave to remove them just to check them out, or turn the light off. What do you do?

Oh I don't have the batwing shade on yet(can't find the right size screws) so maybe it will get better, but it'sthe whole bloody room.

I am now running 3 1000w hps's.

So I just go in there neked, and have a year round tan with no tan lines.

Kidding.

I have transision glass's. They darken for me when I go in. Seems to work ok.

Best of luck
