Do any of you indoor guys catch yourself staring at your light when it's on?

I caught myself doing that today when I switched on my new 600w system for the first time. I'm sure it's really bad for my eyes. Kinda makes me want to take my sun glasses to my grow room.

No but sometimes the plants.
 
I'm not sure why you would do this?.....even baked.....anyways...do people like to look at the sun?.. Sounds dumb....I actually have 3 pairs of polarized glasses next to my grow room to put on before we enter....I kinda like my sight...word
 
Like the poll says; Why would you do that?

I do a lot of welding with my job and if you look at the light from that you can go blind.

I've had my eyes get so burned from welding that the next morning they were matted shut and a shower to wash out the crust over my eyes was the only way to open them again so... Hell no I wouldn't just sit and stare at an HID light.

Be careful my friend, just sit and stare at your plants instead...ok?

If you go blind, how are you going to see your beautiful plants?

Oh man, TIG burns are the worst!

Placing sliced potatoes over your eyes seems to help draw out the poison but...damn those burned eyes hurt like hell!

B careful my friend...k?

Never stare at grow lights, ok everybody?

We don't need to hear about one of our valued members going blind because they read about someone staring at their grow lights...ok everyone? Please don't do it!
 
I've heard of sun gazers.They are supposed to get all the nutrition they need from doing it.I seen this on some weird news show when I was younger,he went 3 months with out food,only water.

Nah, it's a ceramic metal halide, some of us use them for vertical growing, they are a white light that will burn the crap out of your eyes.. Those are ones you don't want to look at if you don't have to.
