NOTE
Red-coloured bulb:
Red-coloured bulbs or tubes are not recommended in a dark room; irregular voltage and heating action on the bulb or tube can cause micro-cracks in the outer-colour coating which can emit white light that is not visible to human eyes, but nevertheless will jeopardise X-ray film development.
