Gardening in the dark Green light question

What kind of green light is safe? Is a green cfl party bulb ok? I heard the painted ones are no good because of white light leaks. Is there some sort of special green light I should be looking for?

I wouldn't spend an extensive stretch of time in there. Green light is still used by plants, just not much. If you expose it enough to mess with your hormone ratios; you risk hermies, slowed flowering, delayed flowering, and just general plant stress. An led is the best way to go, and I'd advise against pointing it directly at the plants much. Overall, unless it's somehing you absolutely can't do when the lights are on later, don't go in there. It's alot less risk.
