SRS, 3 minutes tested with safelight? I'm wondering if that is enough. I would guess so. About 2 minutes taking paper out of box, decent exposure, maybe more for burning/dodging and then into developer. Do you have your safelight plugged into your timer so it would go off when you expose paper?
First, this particular bulb is located above my developing trays. The light from it is much dimmer near the enlarger. I've got a second safelight near the enlarger; currently it's a red-tinted tungsten bulb, which is much dimmer than the LED bulb and which has never caused me problems. My tests were done with both bulbs on, but as I was interested in the LED bulb specifically, I tested with the paper next to the developing trays. Of course, my test paper also got some exposure from my dry-side bulb, but not nearly as much, and I already knew it was OK for my purposes.
Second, it doesn't take me nearly 2 minutes to remove paper from my paper safe or expose it, unless it's a
very long exposure. I figured a maximum of 1 minute from paper safe to developer for 90% of my prints, followed by a ~1:30 development time under the LED safelight, then stop bath and fixing.
Of course, my tests are useful for me; they may not be useful for you. You may place your bulb closer to the paper, use papers with different sensitivity than mine, etc. You should conduct your own safelight tests when changing from one type of safelight to another or when otherwise modifying your procedures in ways that might affect safelight safety.
