A darkroom package I picked up, featuring a free Omega C760 XL dichroic enlarger plus lots of other stuff, included a Coastar 5x7 safelight in excellent condition. No model no. on the safelight but the box said "Code SAF57". The bulb inside was not in good condition and has no markings to indicate what it is but it looks like a small appliance bulb. Anyone know what bulb should be used? The filter is red.

Any 10 or 15 watt tungsten bulb that has the correct base should be fine.
No matter what, however, a safelight test is a good idea.
