Does anyone know where to get other filters for this? I'm looking for a deep red one.
Unfortunately we do not carry 4.5" round filters. You may want to check with Yankee directly;

question
i understand that this plugs to an edison bulb socket. but what sort of bulb does it uses? im from a country that uses 220-240v AC so was planning to use this with a standard household light bulb that i can purchase locally.
The type of lamp that normally fits inside of this safelight is 15 watts/130V with an E26/E27 base.

Can this be used for developing sheet negatives?
Can this be used for developing sheet negatives?
We are not sure what you are asking so we will answer both ways.
1. No, you can develop films using a safe light. You use liquid chemicals.
2. Generally, no, you should not have a safe light on in your darkroom while sheet film is being developed in the trays. Here is what Kodak says regarding a safe light while developing a typical sheet film, Kodak Tri-X:
"Using a safelight will affect your results. If absolutely
necessary, after development is half complete, you can use
a safelight equipped with a KODAK 3 Safelight Filter (dark
green) with a 15-watt bulb for a few seconds. Keep the
safelight at least 4 feet (1.2 metres) from the film. Run tests
to determine that safelight use gives acceptable results for
your application.
For information on safelight testing, see KODAK
Publication No. K-4, How Safe Is Your Safelight?"

question
this can be used for color print also?
No wont work for color prints. You will need complete darkness for color prints as the paper is sensitive well into the red part of the spectrum

question
Is this safe to use with Illford harman direct positive fb paper?
I used to use Illford products almost exclusively when I was doing wet bench processing. I believe the information that you are looking for might be found on the mfg.'s website. The answer is no, . . I changed the gel in my lamp to a lighter yellow which I use for work with photo-resists used in glass etching. My resist is exposed with UV. I hope this helps you!
