Perfect for what I need it.

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 1 watt bulb and even in the very small space in which I work, it does not produce a comfortable amount of light. There is also a 3 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.Thanks to my age, my eyes are not as sensitive as they once were, and I find that I need more light than I used to in order to see clearly. So, even though a 1 watt bulb is not sufficient for me, it might be for you, particularly if you are working in a small darkroom.

Although I don't have to do anything in the darkroom, I still found this Fuyunohi Darkroom Safelight was a good substitute for my night light. The red bulb was pretty dim at night and did not make me wake up. I could sleep with it turned on all night long.
