My next step into Analogue Photography : My Darkroom – Part 2

Although the darkroom was functional, there were some issues when using it :

  • The chemicals and trays were not stored near the darkroom desk (and therefore increases the setup time before I can do a single enlargement).
  • Spills would go strait into the wood bench, and the workbench was not waterproof.
  • Safe light position was sub optimal : it did not illuminate the trays properly, since the LED strip was laid on top of the workbench.

Renovations

Darkroom after renovation , with the safe light on.

The renovation consisted of :

  • Addition of shelves to store all darkroom and film development equipment.
  • Adding of a waterproof cover to the workbench.
  • Have a proper fixation for the safe lights.
  • Have a definitive power socket to the darkroom bench.

The total cost for the renovation was around 70 €

Now the safe light only illuminate the development trays
