    I suggest new owners install a set of sleigh beers be installed to give you a warning.

    Nothing would suck more than a darkroom session that finds a home invader suddenly standing there.

    IMO
    It must have been a well greased door or far away from the work area because our doors were quite noisy when operating.

    Anyway, a good idea for home use. Maybe even a cheap baby monitor camera on the outside with ruby lith over the interior screen to see what is going on just outside the door...

    Nice idea!

    Let's put it this way, I am a Marine, Body builder and a former Sheriff's Deputy, it would really suck for them! I also happen to be a large format photographer

    Good idea. My neighborhood we can still leave the windows and doors open. My neighbors call me if they see something strange going on.

    Anyone charging through a revolving darkroom door would have about 30 seconds to "get their eyes", even with fairly bright safe lights.

    Plenty of time to greet them properly...

    Light Maze works very well, but takes up space

    However better still air, less dust movement

    My Art College had one
