Got it, appreciate the input. We have a bunch of huge skylights, it's like being outside in here, so we have to have a dark room, plus we would need like a million cabinets to store screens so we had to build this one out. It's the long term storage/exposure that gets me, can be such a hard thing to pinpoint, IE "maybe we could have gotten a little more detail out of that one". I guess I could image a high mesh screen and leave it sitting for a couple weeks for testing.

We have LED Lights in our entire shop, high bay out in warehouse/print area and also normal LED in our offices. We coat/image/burn in direct light, no dark room here. We did mention to the light people the type of work we did and he did make a choice on light color but not sure what it is to be honest.
I just know we never have screen issues and I didn't want to mess around with a darkroom, our building doesn't really have a great spot for that.

We run just cheap LED tubes and put clear UV sleeves on them.

Can you pull the old one and find the numbers on it? It's probably half the price elsewhere.

Has anyone had any luck finding an alternative vendor for the transformer that the MSP3140 uses. M&R wants $623 for it. I tried looking up the numbers shown on the photo but no luck. Item #1019146
Do I just bite the bullet on this one?

Building out our new screen room, and wondering about work lighting. We've always used the UV blocking sleeves on fluorescent bulbs, but I've always hated being under that weird yellow light.
It's a drop ceiling, and my thought was a couple of those drop in LED replacement panels. From what I've read, regular LED's emit almost no UV light, and especially at a distance of 8 feet or so it shouldn't be an issue. My concern is long term accumulation, some of our higher mesh screens may be sitting around a month or so.
Anyone have any real world experience with LED lighting in screen/storage rooms?

best price or best screens? For us - Spot Color #1 and close 2nd is River City Supply. I have no idea how they compare in prices to other places because I honestly don't care.
This! Spot Color is in my backyard, so that helps. Brannon stops by with his trailer when he's in the area.

Make sure you are getting composite glue or the screens will not last as long. Pierre
