Good value for the price

Does exactly what it says on the tin. The three brightness levels are useful depending on whether I'm developing film or printing. Took off one star because the charging cable is a bit short, but otherwise, no complaints.

No more fogged prints!

I switched from an old incandescent bulb with a filter to this LED unit. The difference is night and day. The light is even, consistent, and completely safe for my variable contrast paper. The USB-C charging is a nice modern touch.

Perfect for my home darkroom setup

This light is exactly what I needed. The red hue is deep enough that it doesn't fog my Ilford paper, and the magnetic base sticks perfectly to my metal shelving. Battery life is impressive; I've used it for three developing sessions without needing a recharge.

Great portability, wish it was brighter on high

Love that it's rechargeable and cordless. Makes moving around the darkroom much easier. The low and medium settings are perfect for loading tanks, but I wish the highest setting was just a bit brighter for cleaning up. Still, a solid purchase.

Compact and durable

Dropped this accidentally on the concrete floor of my basement darkroom, and it didn't even scratch. The build quality feels very robust. It's small enough to tuck into a corner but provides ample illumination for my workbench.

Essential tool for analog photographers

If you are getting back into film photography, buy this. It eliminates the hassle of wiring a dedicated safelight fixture. The magnet is strong, and the light distribution is surprisingly wide for such a small unit.

5 FAQ

Q: How long does it take to fully charge the battery?

A: Using a standard 5V/2A USB-C adapter, the device takes approximately 2.5 to 3 hours to reach a full charge from empty.

Q: What is the wavelength of the red LED?

A: The LEDs emit light in the 620nm to 750nm range, which is the standard safe spectrum for orthochromatic black and white materials.

Q: Does the magnetic base work on wooden surfaces?

A: The magnetic base requires a ferrous metal surface to attach. For wooden walls or benches, please use the integrated hanging hook or mount it using adhesive strips (not included).

Q: Can I leave this plugged in while using it in the darkroom?

A: Yes, you can use the light while it is charging. However, for maximum safety and to avoid any potential electrical hazards near water chemicals, we recommend using it on battery power whenever possible.

Q: Is this light safe for color film developing?

A: No, this red safety light is designed specifically for black and white photo paper and film. Color processing requires complete darkness or specific amber lighting depending on the process.
