The light bulbs are not a permanent thing, I am still in the prototype stage
right now. I will be using the camera at first then building a standalone
enlarger if it works out ok. A glass shop near me has a laminated glass that is
white inside the layers of glass. In my test run of the light bulbs the other
day heat should not be to bad if I vent the light box and have some heat
absorbing glass before the diffusing panel.

I like the idea someone mentioned of indirect light from the side of the light
box and lining the light box itself with styrofoam. I will have to experiment
untill I find the right combination that gives good results. A cold light head
would be great, I just can't justify the cost of it.

Once I put together something that works within reason I will post it on my
website.

Thanks for all the good ideas so far.
Phil
