lightproof
Impervious to illumination
Lightproof means impenetrable to light.
A lightproof container prevents any light from reaching its contents—essential for storing photographic film or light-sensitive chemicals.
Darkrooms require lightproof doors and seals.
The term functions like waterproof or soundproof: describing complete protection against the named element.
