I've got one of these having seen an AC guy using one to locate AC fluid leaks, but he had a pair of goggles on. As I can't see the green stuff with the torch or naked eye, does anyone know what sort of goggles are required?

Red, orange or yellow lenses. Yellow is the better of the three.

The AC system does need to have UV tracer in it. This isn't always added when they're gassed.

Which means it most likely doesn't have the dye in.

TBH, I've always found my leaks using an LED torch (probably it might have some UV light in there) at dusk, and the dye is visible to naked eye anyway in daylight, just not as obvious

[Shackeng]

Definitely has the dye in, as I could see it through the AC man's goggles.However, I now wish to do the work at home, so need to be able to see it with my own kit.
