As for a lid.... this will also increase trapped heat. If you get a good T5 fixture I am sure you can do just as well.

I wonder... does anyone care enough to read signatures if you make them really small? I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.
