[Alt-photo] Re: darkroom safelight

[BOB KISS]

DEAR MATTI,

	Two options:
1) ebay for a cheap safelight & filter.
2) Rubylith...a sheet of plastic that is very close in color to a red safelight filter.  You may still be able to find these at prepress and printing (offset web press type of printing) shops.  You might even find some hidden in the back room of your nearest newspaper.

		Good Luck!
			BOB

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€?
