Helpful But Not Necessary...Enlarger Foot Pedal

[RalphLambrecht]

I had one on my DurstL1200 butgot rid of it because, I frequently stepped on it without intending to.

I have two Graylab timers, a 500 and 525, that use foot/hand switches on the cabinet next to the enlargers so there is no chance of vibrations. I also use foot switches to control 4' LED white light strips over the sinks on the wet side of the darkroom. The switches are air actuated foot switches and removes any chances of touching something electrical with wet hands.

Can you please tell us the brand name of the air operated switches. What a great idea for the lights.

I originally bought this to use with a router for doing dovetail joints but it got moved into the darkroom and I ended up buying a second one.
