Safelight Filters
"Safelight" is defined as the room light and illumination that will not fog photographic material during the time required for normal handling and processing. We offer a variety of safelight products with filters specially formulated to exactly match the color sensitivity of the photographic products on the market. These safelight products offer virtually shadow-free illumination, reducing eyestrain and providing a better working environment. The fade-free filters are designed for long life; the safety sleeves will contain glass fragments and protect personnel and valuable equipment in case of any lamp breakage.
Available in a Variety of Formats
- Single Lamp Complete Fixture
- Double Lamp Complete Fixture
- Complete Safelight Kit including Lamp
- Sleeve Only without Lamp
- Window Filter
- Laminated Safelight Panels
Single and Double Lamp Complete Fixtures
The Single Lamp Fixture is the perfect choice for a heavy-duty, wall- or ceiling-mounted safelight with one lamp. It features your choice of safelight filter and easy installation.
The Double Lamp Fixture provides maximum safe illumination at a low cost. It is equipped with two safelights of your choice as it is designed for installations requiring two different safelight environments.
Safelight Kit with or without a Fluorescent Lamp
The Complete Safelight Kit consists of a polycarbonate safety sleeve, fluorescent lamp and safety end caps, and a selection of filters for all photographic processes. The kit can be used as a replacement lamp for the Single and Double Lamp Complete Fixtures mentioned above, or to install in a locally available light fixture.
We also offer the Safelight Kit without a fluorescent lamp; it includes the polycarbonate safety sleeve, safety end caps and a selection of filters for all photographic processes. The sleeve is placed over a T5 (.625''/16mm diameter), T8 (1''/ 25mm diameter) or T12 (1.5''/38mm diameter) fluorescent lamp purchased locally.
These filters are not suitable for use with high-output lamps.
Formula to Determine the Filters Required
One 48''/122cm 40W-fluorescent lamp safelight is required for each area measuring 50 square feet, taking into account the entire room and not just the area where the sensitive material will be handled.
