I think I saw that build on youtube have you considered gluing aluminum foil inside that box to act as a reflector and maybe putting a small muffin fan on one side to help cool the bulbs?

Yes i am going to purchase some aluminum tape and taping the whole thing up, but never had this on youtube tho and yes i am going to use a pc fan for pulling the heat away from the bulbs i just wish i could wire the fan to the same cable as my light so i only have one plug instead of 2

Ive been wanting to do this style but my problem is my country only uses b22 sockets which are twist n lock types not screw in and the only y adapters i can find are screw in and i cant realy be bothered going and ordering a whole lot of adapters just to make it work. Unless i could get some e27 sockets from the states but shippings always a killer
