That's not all of it, just the fluorescent part. You should see the collection of flashes, slave flashes and slave triggers I've been accumulating and playing with. :-D I'm hunting at the resale shops but haven't found one used flash yet. They want to much for the junk cameras, or I'd be tearing some of those apart to build a big soft flash with a bunch of bulbs.

Mostly I wanted to save others from going to most of the hardware and building supply stores to find out the same information. I didn't even get into the ballasts electronic or standard, flicker, CRI ratings, and finding sheets of translucent plastic, which wasn't easy.

BTW they make a translucent paint for aquariums, so that the walls can be painted for keeping animals in them as a cage, but allow light to get in. Humane societies use it. I may try that for the clear sheets that are easy to find and inexpensive. Matte surface has it's own advantages in some cases.

I have a sheet of glass for framing art, that's supposed to be non-glare. This would work to get an "invisible" floating platform, so objects would have the appearance of being without a background at all.
