No, We use clear UV filters in our darkroom they are about 5x the price of yellow safety lights that filter out UV but they make class and videos a lot easier to see. Thanks for asking.
This is probably the simplest explanation for the exposure calculation and its free.
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed it!
This is a great and informative video. Awesome exposure unit! Who knew they made LED exposure units?! Gonna try this with my 500 watt setup!
Thank you, glad I could help and thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
thanks so much for sharing!!
You're welcome, Glad you liked it!
Does this not have to be done in a light safe environment?
Yes, we are using clear UV filter in our darkroom to make video easier. Yellow lights are the normal used in coating darkroom. Thanks for asking!

Glad it helped, your welcome!
That is the longest 5sec
The vacuum takes 30 seconds before the 5 second exposure time ;)
Did you do this in a normal non-safe lit room? Isn't that a no-no? lol

Also, Check out Dan''s comment we go into greater detail there.
i counted 40 seconds
MISUW yes, I agree. The time is FAR beyond 5 seconds
It takes a while to create the vacuum...think about it, when was the last time you heard a light turn on?
The vacuum is set to a little over 30 seconds, have to get good contact before the light turns on. Thanks for asking.
@@garingdahl You get a gold star! :) There are two timers, one for vacuum, it is set around 30 seconds and one for the exposure time.
