Safelight recommendations 
MULTIGRADE IV RC can be used with most
common safelights for black and white papers. The
ILFORD safelights are especially recommended as
they generally allow darkrooms to be brighter, but
completely safe, for MULTIGRADE IV RC and many
black and white papers.
ILFORD safelights are the ILFORD SL1 darkroom
safelight or the ILFORD 902 (light brown) safelight
filter fitted in a darkroom lamp (for example, the
ILFORD DL10 or DL20). A 15W bulb is
recommended with these safelights.
For direct lighting, do not expose the paper to the
safelight for more than 4 minutes, and the distance
between the paper and the safelight should be a
minimum of 1.2m/4ft.
Other filters can be used, for example, the Kodak
OC and the Agfa-Gevaert G7, or the Philips
PF710 safelamp.
