I have left films in my Patterson tanks for a day waiting to be developed without any problems, I say 100% lightproof

If I have a batch of film to process then I load a number of tanks at once. If they are a number of different makes, in the case 120 I use the exposed sticker to mark the tank so I don't mix the dev time up.

Haha, I did something similar last weekend. Borrowed the spiral from a Paterson 35mm tank, expanded it for 120 film in a larger tank but forgot to exchange the black core for the longer one. It took me a day to work out why the last three frames were somewhat fogged! Surprisingly I still managed to get usable scans from them though.

They ARE lightproof but NOT leakproof (Well not the ones I have anyway!) Jobo are much better as are most stainless tanks.

I no longer store paterson tanks with there lids on. In my experience this helps against leaks.

My film tanks are kept in a cupboard so I store the lids separately to the tanks themselves. When in use and the air is expelled, I have greater confidence that the lids will stay on and the fluid inside, especially when using a rotary motor base.

I use my tank for 5x4 in the kitchen, in bright sunlight. Loading it in a bag obvs. Never had an issue. And we sell tanks to end users who do not have darkrooms but scan their negs and again, never heard of anyone complaining.
