What is a "safelight"?
A safelight is a specialized light used in darkrooms to illuminate the workspace without exposing or damaging light-sensitive photographic materials. It typically emits a specific color of light that does not affect the photographic paper or film during processing. Safelights help photographers work with developing and printing materials while ensuring that the images remain unaffected by unwanted exposure.
