It is of course obvious that EVERYONE must follow electrical codes and,
especially into darkrooms, spend the extra money between "required" and
"will be best" in sake of safety.
When young, France used 110V 50Hz system (*) , and I had a bad
experience : when unwiring a big AC motor, someone actionned the switch
in order to get light. He gets a strange cry... I stuck on to the wire
not being able to do anything... Fortunatelly, my boss where here and
kicked my ass with it's rubber wearing foot... my right hand freeze when
I remember this... I could have been killed.... So when we had to have
the house re wired, I REQUIRED the GFC the electrician was willing to
spare... And this proved really usefull.
* I've been told that one of the reason for the move to 220V 50Hz was
that you wont stick to the energized wire, and so would have a shock but
not die... I advice you : Don't try ! It's not fun ;-)
