Re: Safelight alternatives

Safelight tests for the following worked out well for RC papers:

1. Red Christmas light bulb in a night light fixture
    (see www.paintcancamera.com)

2. Orange Christmas light bulb in a night light fixture

3. Orange & red GLOW STICKS, if you have no electricity!
    This is really fun and is a great demonstration if you are teaching.
