Recently, I have read about a couple of safelight filters that are designed to be used at very low levels with color papers. Apparently this is a greenish filter that slots into a dip in sensitivity of color paper, and is only appropriate for limited exposure.
From my research online it seems there is an old Wratten filter, #13, and a modern Ilford equivalent, the 908. I can find neither available at a moderate size (8x10) to fit a safelight I have available.
I also got to wondering about an LED equivalent. Any thoughts on a small LED bulb to emulate this filter response? I know a lot of us have moved to LED bulbs for our darkroom needs.
I am hoping to improve slightly my color printing experience. I'm able to move about pretty well in my DR in complete darkness, but a hint of light would be nice.
