Darkroom Safelights Hanging Led Red Light Lamp Darkroom Equipment

The media could not be loaded. I bought this safelight to use in my darkroom while handling light sensitive photographic paper. I will be testing it to see if there are any fogging issues. You get quite a bit of length with this cord which I’ve measured to be 147.5” from the base of the plug. It has a separate cord (shorter) that is attached to the on/off button. The plastic hanging attachment is convenient as well. All in all this is very affordable darkroom safelight.

Not knowing better, I used this light while spooling B&W film for home processing. The light spoiled the film because most B&W film is panchromatic and sensitive to all wavelengths of visible light including red. This light would only work as I planned on using it for orthochromatic film that is not sensitive to the red spectrum.

The media could not be loaded. Weights 4.9 with the bulb.Base of bulb to the plug is 138 inches in length. (around 11.5')Switch is around 7 inches away from the plug.This darkroom safelight has everything but the bulb built in.Screw in the red LED bulb.Find a suitable spot on your ceiling for a small hook.(found that the ARROW 1-1/4" vinyl coated cup hooks fit perfectly)Plug in the cord into the outlet (or darkroom timer) and this will help with the cable routing.Also find a good way to mount the cord to the wall, used small cable mounts.Command hooks etc. may be better for non permanent installation.The red light gives a good amount of red safe light for working in your darkroom.With the long cord at around 11 and a half feet in length, this provides some great overhead lighting.The base has a built in white plastic hook.At the plug end you will notice a short cord coming out, this is the built in on/off switch.The switch makes a very audible click. Watch short video clip. It works.You could mount to a wall with a command strip or just let it dangle.Have mine going into my darkroom timer and it will lay behind the enlarger.One negative.Why is the base and cord in white?See my photos of my antique safelight. (black cord, blends into the wall of my darkroom)Not everyone has a darkroom and most likely walls would be white and this would match perfectly.Overall.This gives off a good amount of red light and spreads better over my darkroom developing trays.After mounting to the wall it's out of the way.May decide later to paint the cord to match my darkroom walls.A great addition to my darkroom and now the lighting is even better.Hope this was helpful.

I ordered this Fuyunohi Darkroom Safelights Hanging Led Red Light Lamp to use in my Ilford Popup Darkroom.My current safelight is a deep amber that works fine with standard photographic paper. But, it tends to fog ortho film (when loading 4x5 film holders) and Harman Direct Positive paper. Both these items call for a deep red safelight.My darkroom is very, very small. It's only about 4'x4' (the Ilford Popup Darkroom is just a light-tight tent) and it doesn't take much wattage to produce enough light to see by. This safelight has a 3 watt bulb which seems more than sufficient. There is also a 1 watt version of this safelight available which I have reviewed separately.I performed the usual fog tests with some Arista ortho film, a sheet of Harman Direct Positive Paper, and a sheet of Ilford MGRC paper. After 20 minutes of being exposed to this safelight from about 3 feet away, none of the materials showed any signs of fogging.

The light is good, pure red diodes. Unfortunately, it did not turn on. I took the plastic cover off, and noticed it would shine when I grounded any of the contacts. After resoldering the two wires inside, the light still did not turn on. Eventually, with some prodding, I caused a short circuit which enabled half of the LEDs to turn on. THUS, I have repaired the light, although it has only half of the brightness it should.The one star is because the cable and switch at least are functional.

I have no issue with the quality of the item. My issue is that the bulb I got is a 220v bulb according to the stamping on the side of it and the plug is a 110v plug. The description says 3w 110v but one of the pictures says 250v so I was hoping the description was right but it seems I was wrong.
