Kodak safelight bulb wattage

mshchem · Nov 29, 2024

I stockpiled 7.5 and 15W GE USA made bulbs several years ago And I don't even use my old Kodak safelights. I can go buy a shot*'# easier than a light bulb. .

I would try (and bet it is ok), an orange 40 watt party LED bulb.

Well, 40 Watt tungsten equivalent. Actual 40W rated LED would be a LOT of light. Most likely far too much to be safe for paper.

Yes, 40w equivalent is what I should have written. I've tried both the 25w eq. and 40w eq. amber/orange LEDs. I find the 25 too dim in the fixture.

As I noted in my earlier post, the incandescent bulb output is about 90 lumens...look for LED with about 90 lumens output, too
