DARKROOM - SAFELIGHTS

ENCAPSULITE SAFELIGHTS*

These fluorescent strip safelights are the best option in cost-effective darkroom lighting. While running at a low temperature with small power consumption they also supply broad 'directionless' lighting which makes time in the darkroom less fatiguing. Although there are many permutations of filter for different graphic arts materials, we normally stock the type suitable for most graded and VC papers (A10/ND 0.3) and that for ortho materials (R10). A number of lengths are available, and the best value for money is in purchasing the tubes alone, and fitting them to your own battens.

*We are unable to ship these items, however for the cost of £12 the manufacturer will ship direct.

RH TORCH SAFELIGHT

This handy torch (flashlight) comes in two flavours - red LED, bright and safe for black and white papers, and yellow LED (590nm) optimised for colour materials. The b/w version produces a bright beam or safe red light ideal for print inspection during development or for locating that dropped dodging tool! The colour version is useful for general orientation in the darkroom while colour materials are exposed - it should not be used for direct illumination of colour materials although the wavelength of the LED light has been chosen to match the minimum sensitivity of colour papers.
Housed in a small plastic key-fob style enclosure with a cord which can be worn around the neck or wrist, the SafeTorch can be held and operated with one hand. The momentary switch action ensures it cannot be left on accidentally.
The SafeTorch operates on a single 12v alkaline battery (included). Replacements are easily obtainable from retailers or direct from us.
