Convert your fluorescent lights into safelights for any process.
EncapSulite is the quick, easy and economical way to convert existing fluorescent lighting fixtures into safelights for every photographic, plate making and proofing process. Sleeves are available in both T12 and the smaller T8 diameters.
Fluorescent safelights provide the following benefits.
- Energy saving - low power consumption
- Fade- free filters
- Brighter, fog-free lighting for a better working environment.
- Shadow less illumination results in less eyestrain.
- Sleeves are designed to contain glass in the event of breakage.
Important Information for choosing the right safelight.
A safelight is defined as the room light illumination that will not fog photographic materials during the time period required for normal handling and processing. This can range from approximately three minutes for scanner films and up to fifteen minutes for slow orthochromatic emulsions.
Distance also plays an important part in safelight determination.
Manufactures tests are determined with light sources five feet from the working area. If you experience a fogging problem, move the lights further away from the work area.
The recommended quantity of safelights for a given area is one four foot light per 50 square feet of work area.
Handy Tip
Use the UVC Sleeve for UV sensitive materials and the V50 Sleeve for Agfa Lithostar plates.
