Building Darkroom: Confused About Light Maze Entrance

A reminder about the outlets, be sure they are high on the wall, especially over the sink. Any fixer splashed or dust from mixing the dry fix is hygroscopic and if it gets into an outlet will eventually corrode and short out. Seen it happen in a newspaper darkroom.

Also check building regulations - in the uk there are restrictions on how close you can fit electrical outlets to a sink.
