I bought this louver to use in my basement darkroom. I mounted it in a basement window by replacing the window with a piece of MDO plywood and mounting the fan in the plywood. At first I thought that the louver was leaking light but after going outside and sealing around the edge of the louver and the edge of the plywood it was light tight. The basement is now pitch black when the lights are turned off and the louver combined with an exhaust further down gives me good ventilation in my work area.

I am setting up a darkroom, and ventilation is critical. This was a perfect fit with being light tight.

If you're in the process of setting up a professional-grade darkroom, our Heavy Duty, Light Tight Darkroom Louvers are an essential component to ensure a controlled environment. Measuring 12"x24", these robust metal louvers are designed to maintain a light-tight seal while allowing a substantial airflow of 400 CFM (cubic feet per minute), which is crucial for ventilation without compromising the darkroom conditions.
Crafted for durability, these louvered vents are constructed from heavy-duty materials, ensuring they withstand the test of time and frequent use. The light-tight design is a result of meticulous engineering, making them an ideal choice for photographers who demand the utmost in darkroom standards. Whether you're developing film or working with light-sensitive materials, these louvers will keep your space completely free of unwanted light infiltration.
Installation is versatile, as evidenced by user experiences, with the ability to mount these louvers into a variety of structures, such as a replaced basement window panel. Once properly sealed, as our users have found, they provide an impeccable light-tight environment. The high CFM rating not only supports effective ventilation but also promotes a healthier workspace by ensuring a continuous exchange of air.
Incorporate our Heavy Duty, Light Tight Darkroom Louvers into your darkroom setup to achieve the perfect balance of air circulation and light control.
