When I balanced up my various bowens flash units I used coloured aluminium foil to get the softboxes to a similar colour temperature. Very Heath Robinson ( but its what we do best ) and its very effective. They ranged from a 3k quad pack with 2x1 meter softbox to the little 20" x 20" units on woodblocks. Perhaps this may be effective on your lightbox Nick !!
