Ron,  
 I know someone who does neon (I think). Are the green
and blue to work with variable contrast papers? Why
couldn't I use a standard enlarger bulb (or bulbs) and
space them evenly over some diffused glass? Not even
enough distibution?
                        Stabbing in the dark,
                                   Matt
