I use a Heiland LED Darkroom safelight - https://www.firstcall-photographic.c...om-light/p6719

It is brilliant - both to use and in its illumination levels.

I have mine turned down a fair way and switch it through the enlarger timer - otherwise I cannot see the image from the enlarger to dodge and burn.

I leaned many years ago from fumbling around in student darkrooms that dim darkrooms are tiring to use and a bright level of safelight was the key to pleasant darkroom working conditions.

Of course it doesn't help that my night time vision is somewhat diminished compared to when I was younger.
