Question: Cool orange glasses?

CSIFilter: On CSI, and other crime shows, you see the investigators holding a sheet of orange plastic in front of their field of view when using a blacklight to look for trace evidence. Sometimes, orange sunglasses are used instead. Does anyone know what these glasses would be called, and where I can get some? My google-fu is failing me.

They are UV Safety/Filter Glasses - here, here and elsewhere.

BTW -- you can get a Forensic Flashlight Kit -- with the glasses included.

You see things like these at the dentist too if you ever get a composite filling.
