Safe Lights

Safe lights refer to the lighting system used in photography studios and darkrooms to provide low-intensity illumination that does not affect the light-sensitive materials used in the production of photographic prints. These lights are typically coloured red or amber to prevent them from exposing the photographic paper or film, which can result in overexposure or fogging. The use of safe lights is crucial in ensuring the quality of the final print, as any unwanted exposure can compromise the image's sharpness, contrast, and colour.
