Light Box

OK that is what I have designed (In my head?) 4 26v CF's wraped with a half of a tin can to deflect 1 direction only, 4 12V CPU fans each drawing air across a bulb and out of the box. the interior of the box is lined with dull side out silverfoil. Both the fans and the lights are on a 18/6 pattern via a regular house timer since the power supply that I used for the fans was an old 12 v laptop charger that easily plugs into the timer with the lights which simply plug in as well (like a chandaleir) Whooo hooo I though it was a nice design.

WOW I built it

ideally

1. you will use 42 watt CFL's
2. the plants will surround the CFL's, making a reflector obsolete.. not always practical...

I do like your design!!

cheers
