- The Thomas Duplex safelight is certainly still available. It comes with
- a sodium vapor tube and movable vanes in a fixture which you hang
- from your darkroom ceiling. The vanes have dark filtres in them, and by
- opening and closing them you can control the amount of illumination in
- the darkroom.

- However, they are somewhat expensive. Calumet lists the DUB model, the
- one for black and white printing, at $214.95.
