Safelight bulbs??
I have a Kodak safe light that looks like a metal cone. One end screws into
a lamp socket, the other holds a round filter. It's probably from the 1960's or older, but it's the only thing I could get here in any color except red. I bought out the last of the locally availaible little red things that use nightlight bulbs and a bunch of the bulbs, so I am covered for red, but I wanted an orange (Wratten OC) filter as I can see much better by it. The problem I have, is that here in Israel, we have been ahead of everyone else in energy saving, CFL bulbs have been sold here, and used by me, since 1997. That's good, but it has caused the demand and therefore the supply of low wattage incadescent bulbs to dry up. I found a few Chinese made 7-10 watt bulbs, but they only last a few hours. I found a 15 watt bulb sold for refrigerators, but it has a different base and I am trying to adapt it, but may not be able to get those bulbs much longer and they are very expensive being made to operate at 0F and below. The smallest incadescent bulbs that are still common here are 40 watt bulbs. What is everyone else doing for safelights? Thanks in advance, Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
