Right light for a light box?
Hello people! I Am trying to put together a screen printing set for a friend for christmas. I need to build a light box, i have an old 400w grolux sylvania but think it might give off to much heat? Is this bulb O.K? If not which bulb/s should be used? Anyone know the best way to go about making a light box? Sam.

Unfiltered black light flourescent tubes work well for general stuff and don't put off much heat.

Absolutely. Much better than flourescents.
