I wouldn’t point at them for more than a few seconds at a time. It’s not like burning out your eyes but over time you can damage the camera depending on the proximity and intensity of the light sources.

There was a thread on another forum where a guy fried his XL2 CCD block by shooting footage of a green laser. I’ve never had any problems shooting sparks flying from metal grinders, etc… don’t think I’ve ever shot any welding though. But lasers — that’s another thing altogether, so be careful around those.
