I am looking to get back into film photography ...

I am looking to get back into film photography and was wondering if, in a completely dark internal room, if this light could be used to remove exposed film and use the Paterson film developing tank?
Asked by: Philip
The Paterson Darkroom Safelight with Red A-Dome Filter is not used for film. It used for when processing most black and white darkroom paper to make prints.

question

Im setting up a home darkroom. I have a convenient place for my enlarger, which is in a cabinet and the door can close on it. Would this be a good safe light for that area, attached it to the swing open door? I'm also going to attach a GraLab timer to the door to operate the enlarger and safelight. Also is the red light cover ok for using with RC , VC paper. Also what would be recommended for a safelight over the developing tray area? When I did this a long time ago, I remember only using a red safelightThank you for your time

for simple work it should be fine. A lot of the timers have an additional socket where you can actually connect your safelight. This would sync perfectly between your exposures and the paper development. Note, this is not at all suitable for film !!! It will take normal 15W bulbs that you can buy at any hardware store and you will not need to worry about visibility. In a small area (6'6 X 6'6 ) it is more than enough. Good luck

question

can you get the safelight lamp anywhere?
Asked by: Anonymous
Yes you can!! But you will need to make sure that the replacement lamp that you are buying is of the same power rating and output. The safelight bulb is significantly smaller than your average household light bulb and will not last as long either. So it is always good practice to buy a safelight system with replacement bulbs as spares. I had no issues with the one I bought from B&H and the replacements I used were as good as the one that came from the manufacturer.Good luck
