That would fog it.
You can KIND of use a #3 green panchromatic safelight filter for Tri-X once the
development has started, but to be honest I can't see a damn thing with
those filters even after an hour to let my eyes adjust and you still
have to limit the amount of time it's on.
Red filters like a #1 or #2 are only for commercial or ortho films... you
can use them with many print stocks.
Don't ever use anything other than a commercial safelight... a typical
arrangement is a 15W incandescent with a #2 filter for use with print
stocks. However... these days you can buy LED safelights that are brighter
and less apt to expose print stocks. But again, not for pan films.
