But We have this be question going on and on about florescent lights in the darkroom like it's big controversy or mystery. It's a well known fact you don't have fluorescent lights in your darkroom. They glow after they are turned off. You don't know how much they might fog your film or paper. They add an unwanted variable to your process which can easily be eliminated. And they will make your optical brighteners in your print glow at a hyped up rate. You'll end up printing for most viewing conditions just too dark. Florescent just ain't done. Everybody knows this. Listen to Tina. If you have it in your light table like i do, four of the 4 footers, you have to be real careful. Mark Rabiner Portland, Oregon USA http://www.rabiner.cncoffice.com/
