You don't want to buy a safe light? GE Guide lamps (night lights) 2 fer a buck at walgreens work peachy and will last longer than most of us will.
Cheers!

Thanks John - I had no idea. Last time I bought a safelight was in the early 70's.
Hey, how about that Henry Ford... I hear he's paying his men a dollar a day ! All I want to know is... what are they going to spend it all on ?
Ken, they're packaged two on a card and emit an OC light---though it dosen't say so on the card---- kind of art deco looking little plug ins. They ARE'N'T the nightlights with the little bulbs (which are more expensive anyway)
A real bargain!

I also use night vision goggles for developing film. Unless I was doing color at home I can't imagine using NVG over a safelight. Shallow depth of field, narrow angle of view. I look at it kinda like this , I could cut down a tree with a hatchet but a chainsaw is the proper tool.
John - By "OC", co you mean orange-colored, or something else ?
Why not just buy a $9 safe light bulb that works with any light bulb socket. I'd imagine it is much less exspensive than an IR monocular.
John K. - Any chance you'd have a part # for those GE lamps? I've checked their site, but come up empty-handed.
Thanks, David
John: Could you be more specific about these "guide lamps"? I have been all through both the GE and Walgreens websites, and can find no reference to such a beast. If you could point to a URL with the product, that would be terrific -- I'm in Canada, and there is no such thing as Walgreens (which I take it is some sort of big drugstore chain), so I need to know exactly what to look for in another store, if I am to have any hope of finding them.
Are they an electoluminescent disk or something similar? The ones I've seen are certainly not two for a buck!
Cheers, and thanks for the tip.

I found out that 0C is a filter designation, like 6B , whatever.
Hey, it's nice to be mentioned :-)
While I was waiting for my red LED lights to show up so that I could make my safelight I used the NVG while printing in the darkroom on some fiber paper without any deleterious effects.
