After a fews days and nights with my new setup, one of the
challenges I've discovered is reading the filter settings on the
dichroic head under safelight so that I can change contrast for

One of my sons is a pilot. In the pilot "gadget shop" at the airport

cause their eye pupils to stop down, as would happen with white light.
You pull the flashlight head out to select white light and push it
back in to select red light. It's pretty cool and is a handy
accessory in my darkroom. I use the white light to find things under
my bench or sink, and red for finding things on my bench top or in drawers.
