Thank you.
Bryan, Pretty impressive darkroom. I just noticed something I have a question about. Fluorescent lamps. My "green" light bulbs continue to glow awhile after turning off. Only some do, the fluorescent type and maybe some LED type. Should darkrooms users be concerned about this?

Two of my fluorescent "shop" lights have a slight glow when turned off using the pull string. Another one (behind my camera, at a little standing workbench I built in the corner) doesn't do this, despite being identical. I have read some reports about residual current - this may be happening as the two that glow slightly are plugged into new outlets I had a contractor put in. Maybe he wired them strangely, compared to the 3rd which I just plugged into an existing outlet.
Anyway, the one in the photo is over my film loading area. You can't see it, but I have a little darkroom timer connected on it so I can manually cut power to it using a switch on the timer that solves that issue. Not particularly elegant, but I didn't feel like trying to figure out what was going on in the outlet. However, I've forgotten to use that a few times with no ill effects - the glow is very, very slight and only noticeable once my eyes adjust to the dark.
Many fluorescent and LED lights glow softly for a second or two after turning off, gradually ramping down. This doesn't matter unless you are ripping open your film box in under a second I don't think!
A handheld multiple-exposure experiment from about seven years ago that I finally scanned and finished recently. This shot is of a statue in Chicago, and was done with a Mamiya 645 Pro, Pentax 105/2.4 lens, and Fujifilm ACROS. The total number of exposures was about 20. I set the camera to multi and let the winder keep re-cockiing the shutter.
