darkroom safelights


I'm building a darkroom and cannot decide what kind of safelight(s) I should buy. I will be doing strictly black & white. My room is approx. 6' x 12' with my sink and enlarger on opposite sides of the room. Any brands that you prefer and what kind? I can't pound a nail so I'm worried about installation too. I'm at a loss.

I'm not sure on specific brands, but I usually use independently standing safelights. That way there is no installation. I don't think they are too expensive and sometime they are being sold on ebay. You should have as many as you need to see what you're doing. I've attached a picture of a PREMIER safelight to better describe what I'm talking about.
