BASELAYR Y3942 LED Exposure Unit - 39x42in

Works but the size is an issue

I REALLY wanted to love this exposure unit immediately. Although they give you the dimensions of the product, it should be noted that it does not fit through any standard doorways. If you're not a big shop with a warehouse door, or if your dark room has a standard sized door, good luck! The vulnerable pieces of this equipment are located on the bottom and not housed in anything sturdy (so if you gently push on the component that houses the $2000 lightbulb, it will move inside the unit). This is a huge design flaw, that bulb should be secure and housed completely inside of the unit. With the most fragile piece left exposed, it was a complete nightmare to move. We had to use a series of plywood boards to roll it to a back exterior door which we had to completely remove (including hinges, trim, etc), we also have to remove the electrical panel, hinges glass and top in order to make it as small and light as possible to go through the doorway. We had .25" of extra space after all of this. All that said, the unit itself functions properly and cuts down on exposure time for sure. But getting it into the dark room was such a frustrating and time consuming experience, I didn't want someone else to make the same insanely expensive purchase and have no way to get it into their dark room. This product is fairly new from ScreenPrinting so there is little information online about using it, and the literature included is a bit basic. Our hope is that this exposure unit will last us many many years to come.
