Pan- and orthopan films must be handled in complete darkness, but ortho films (like Efke 25 ORT or Ilford Ortho Plus) can be handled in dark red light.

Well, no. A dim green safelight will work well with pan films -- back in the dieing days of darkrooms, some folks were selling LED lights in that range. Ortho films can tolerate a brighter reddish light. Hollywood still portrays photographers, even digital dudes, mucking about in an orange-lit darkroom. Go figure!
