when I had my dark room It was a closet (6 x 9 feet) inside my laundry room. I blocked off the windows and doors for the laundry room, and turned off the lights in it first, and then also sealed the closet door on the closet. This was basically achieved by a series of steps in the door frame, each painted flat black and gasketted on the ones parallel to the door. I was totally blind even after 20 minutes
it is OK to work under a safe light for prints but not the negatives, (remember prints can take minutes of exposure under the enlarger illumination) but you have to process them totally in the dark. THis means that they get loaded onto the film reels in total darkness. Once in the developing tank, this is light tight due to internall baffels in the lid and you can turn the lights on at that point.
