Barbieri darkroom lamp
I picked up a Barbieri Colorlamp 50 dark room lamp for next to nothing some
time ago. I've since seen it offered at around £200. What's so special about it? It's just a case, power supply, some amber LEDs, a colour filter (which I needed to re-align in mine), an On-Off switch and a brightness control.

The expense is probably because of LEDs - you don't need to worry about
changing the bulbs also Brightness control is nice as you can control the darkroom light when working with different light sensitive materials. Some of it could be brandname as well, but I'm not really familiar with darklight brands. I just use the little screw mount bulbs sold at my local photo store.

But, LEDs are so cheap nowadays - and adding a potentiometer isn't a big cost. Guess it must be the brandname and finish - it certainly looks better than my old safelight, but then I can't see that aspect in the dark. -- M Stewart Milton Keynes, UK http://www.megalith.freeserve.co.uk/oddimage.htm
