Thomas Duplex or Adorama/Zone VI LED Safelights

I'm setting up my first (and I hope last) B+W darkroom. I've bought Saunders VCCE Enlargers and V-Track Easels. Versa-lab Print Washers and Schneider Lenses. All I need now are timers (I'll probably get Saunders 3 digit LEDS) and Safelight(s?). Since I've never even seen one what I'd like to know is what experience anyone has with Thomas Duplex. Are they safe for _all_ B+W paper? Are they instant on or do they have to warm up? How long does warm up take? Are they as bright as I've been lead to believe? How long does the bulb last? Since my darkroom is 20 X 15 ft would it be better to use two (or more $) smaller safelights? On that track has anyone used the Zone VI LED safelights from Calemut or the screw base LED Bulb from Adorama? Would two Zone VI's or 4 to 6 Adorama's do a better job then one Thomas Duplex? Thanks Jim Vanson
