Are you asking about the color of the light? |

yes. ive looked through previous posts that mention the two color lights, but never seen a response as to why there are two colors. is there a guide on how to use one of these with B&W and color paper, given that ive never used an enlarger before a list of what to use and not use would be great. |

The Graflarger uses an Aristo cold fluorescent tube. The color of the tube is due to the period it was manufactured in. The Grafarger is designed for B&W printing.
