[Alt-photo] Re: darkroom safelight

The red LEDS SHOULD be ok... we use them for paper here...
You can't find a red "party" bulb at your home supply box store?

Subject: [Alt-photo] darkroom safelight

hi all,
my red bulb, probably some 20 years old just died. I have an amber new bulb, but the colour is not suitable for Kentmere VC, which I use as paper negs for Bulldog and pinhole. It fogs badly. New bulbs I haven't found, so I decided to ask what about red leds? They're cheap, I've used them lot in crazy projects. Anyone using them?
Or buy a sheet of red acrylic and cover a lamp fixture? Or buy a red safelight, which costs 30€?
