Correct. I started darkroom work in 1964, and from the beginning we
used amber safelights. I don't think red safelights have been used
since long before that.
When I learned film photography in the mid 1980s the darkroom had
red lights. Of course it was a very old darkroom in a middle school,
so I'm sure that _adequate_ darkrooms had better equipment.
Hmm. Any idea how old the equipment is? I suppose you wouldn't
expect people to replace existing, functional equipment without good
reason.
