Yeah they look like 500 watt exterior halogen lighting, heat I would imagine would be a problem with those, they get VERY hot, I had the glass explode outwards with some force on one of those before.

Yeah they do get VERY hot, you can hear the metal ticking as they cool, not ideal for this situation, better with CFL lighting. Nick They are in fact halogens, and yes, they get very hot indeed, but it was what i had lying around at the time. I'm working on a newer "cooler" box this weekend, but i'm having a hard time finding reflectors...eh, i'm sure i'll find something... Jose B < Flickr Page
