Safelight
An enclosed light fitting that screens out the light rays of frequencies that can fog photographic emulsions. Used mainly in darkrooms before and during processing, it could be a LED light or a conventional light fitted with a filter.
A safelight is in a sense a misnomer, as there is really no safe light. Any light that is sufficiently bright to be of any practical value will affect the material if the exposure is long enough.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
