I also took one off my enlarger as it shocked me a few times coming on when i wasn't ready for it. Lights coming on when you don't make them come on you don't want. Pickup the phone, a light comes on. Can't have that. Watch is glowing! Can't have that. Lean against light table while rolling film; light comes on. Yikes! Discover light table glows long after being turned off. Can't have that. My condolences Richard. But I bet a lot of those will be printable though!. You need you eyes open when you roll because at the end of rolling a bunch of film if you can see… then you know your darkroom is not a darkroom. But a duskroom.
