Correct, I am looking for what a safely light that won't affect photoresist
(dry film photoresist in my case). Maybe working in dim light is good
enough? I read that dry film photoresist is fairly sensitive without taking
much to expose it though.

Are you wanting a safety light that wont affect the photo-resist or a light
to expose the photo-resist?
The ready coated presensitized boards are nowhere near as sensitive as
photographic film.
I work with presensitized boards in fluorescent and incandescent light
without covering them.
You need light of a specific narrow wavelength to make the exposure work.

Subject: [Homebrew_PCBs] recommend a dark room light
I am doing some tests with dry film photoresist. Can you guys recommend a
bulb that can be used for a dark room light? Are there any simple methods
to using a regular fluorescent or incandescent light for the purpose? Maybe
covering the bulb with a color saran rap as a filter?
