Safelight tests for the following worked out well for RC papers:
1. Red Christmas light bulb in a night light fixture
(see www.paintcancamera.com)
2. Orange Christmas light bulb in a night light fixture
3. Orange & red GLOW STICKS, if you have no electricity!
This is really fun and is a great demonstration if you are teaching.
