I'd do an empirical test and take an unexposed strip, develop normally and turn
on the lights as soon as you'd like them to be on and compare that with an
identical strip that has been in the fix a minute or so. I use rapid fix and
turn on the lights within 30 secs.

DEAR
LIST,
Regarding
processing B&W VC FB paper, I am very interested to hear at what point in
the (normal, not rapid) fixer you turn on the white lights. Letʼs assume
you develop and stop in your normal way and are using regular fixer. I use the
two fixer method; 5 min in the first fix and 5 more min in a very fresh second
fix. But most of this is irrelevant to my question:
How
long after you put your print in the first fixer do you feel it is safe
to turn on the white lights? Do you wait the full 5 mins or do you feel it is
safe earlier?
CHEERS!
