IR lightleak in darkroom



Hi all,

So I have an IR lightleak in my otherwise perfectly dark darkroom. My
Kodak HIE is badly fogged. However, the amoutn of fogging changes 
suddenly halfway the film. I therefore suspect the fogging was caused 
when I was loading the film onto the development reel in total (I 
thought so anyway) darkness.

The widows are blinded with wood half an inch thick, but the sun is on
that side of the house. The door is the standard double board model.

I used no darkroom lights, so the only thing visible during loading
camera and reel were a led glowing from my Jobo CPP and a red neon
from a switchable mains socket. Very small quanities of light on the
other side of the darkroom.

I processed in a Jobo tank with only the Duka darkroom light on. White
lights went on only after the stop bath.

Any ideas?

Michiel
