--- REDWOOD LIGHT BOXES ---
 

1) Light boxes made of redwood, with the help of a table saw, for holding gels.  These are very inexpensive (under $20 US) and utilize the "ceramic based"  Brooder Lights purchased at a hardware store.   I use these with 250 and 500 watt 3200 floods, but you need to keep an eye on them as anything can catch fire with these lights. I make no recommendation regarding the application of these boxes.   You need to just use your own judgment and be safety minded. You can see  that I have designed these boxes to allow for air flow past the lights and the gels.   I am very careful not to place these lights near anything flammable.  I hang them from my beam ceiling, thus allowing for plenty of isolation and air flow.    Photo by: Jim Moss

 

2)  Light boxes made of redwood, with the help of a table saw, for holding gels.   After I ran out of these black metal gel holders I stapled the gels to the frames.  This made since for the permanent colors like red.  Access to the lights for replacement  was not as good using staples as I have to remove 3 staples to replace a light now.  Using the black gel holders is by far the way to go.   Photo by: Jim Moss
