This would be a modified soft-box-type contraption. Instead of leaving the inside of the box white, either line with foil or spray paint metallic silver/chrome. Then use a regular household incandescent (or GE Reveal (better on the white balance, I hear) ) bulb in the box. Maybe use the box with a free-standing floor lamp with the shade taken off and use the shade-support (don't know what that's called) to support the silver box. You could then either use the box as is or put a baffle over the opening to soften the light.
Anybody think this would work? Any naysayers?

There is no right way to light.
I work with people that think that they are reinventing the wheel all the time.
I've worked with a DP who used common newspaper for diffusion on softboxes before.
Light is light. The only differance is the color temperature, and the wattage.
If using gold foil, remember that the source light will be warmer.
If using silver foil, remember that the source light will be 'thrown' farther.
If using a standard white card, remember that your source light will pool more.
Just do it. Get er dun.

Thanks for the ideas everyone! i'm well on the way with planning now~! any more further suggestions no matter how out-there they are, are more than welcome! anyone else who are possably looking for lighting, their is a construction duel lighting kit at wal-mart for about 40 dollars, it comes with its own metal tripod and bot of the 2 lights can be removed from their dock. i belive that will be my next purchaise. I really encourage anyone who's planning to do anything like this to take a close look at all the links, they were all great! especially the PVC one! fantastic!
