Now that seems a good idea, if 'standard' white tubes work, then all I
need is some 'energy saving' lights, usually about 8 or 11 watt, and
about £1 in netto, 4 of those, in four holders, and a wooden box,
change from £10, not £105 for action mans sunbed from maplin, should
be fine for 8∗4 inch board
