SAFELIGHTS The function of a safelight is to transmit the maximum amount of light that can be used safely without damaging the sensitized materials being processed. The color sensitivity of different sensitized materials varies.

On the dry side, a dedicated 20 amp circuit to run the timer, a safelight, and the enlarger. This will be enough juice for all of the above. The dedicated circuit will help (but won't prevent) voltage drops.
Cameras for photographic paper have to be loaded in the dark or under a safelight. They usually take only one sheet of paper at a time. This somewhat laborious process makes photography slow.
As the name suggests, the room is kept completely dark and, at most, only contains a safelight. The darkroom must be kept dark because it is here that a photographer will remove the film from the camera.
Except for a minor modification in safelight arrangement, I have not put a penny into additional costs. It would be impossible to make a statement like that about digital.
Film speed, officially 400, was somewhere between 400 and 1000 (I didn't use a meter in those days. None of us did.) Development was by "inspection" under a dark green safelight.
Seeing the image on that very first sheet of 8-by-10 paper gradually emerge in the Dektol bath beneath the darkroom's safelight inspired me.
The traditional "wet" darkroom is still a place where the magic of the black-and-white image appearing in a tray of developer under the pale red glow of a safelight captivates people who are new to photography.
