<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 377004, member: 4552"]To completely change the consept. With a box of only that small a size why not due the simple thing. First if it were me I'd just buy a set of Christmas Tree lights. They are already wired you know. Staple the wiring to the inside of the top of the box. Use as many as you want pending the size of the string of lights. I've seen some with only twelve lamps. If to much light, just remove a bulb but remember to buy the strings where if one is out, the rest still work. If afraid to leave an empty socket, just tape over it. Next go to any store that carries electrical supplies and purchase an in line switch. Wire that switch into the light string anywhere. Or you could just purchase an extension cord with the switch built in. They are not that expensive. </p><p>If the box is just wood you could cut small openings in the top for the Christmas Tree type lights to stick into the box. </p><p>Regardless with this system you could have enought low wattage lamps that there would be no shadowing at all. </p><p>The nicest thing about this method is most or all the wiring is done for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
