Help for designing some lighting

[gerry.slater65@]

Hello all,
I have been asked to make up and install a couple of 8ft long boxes with uplight/downlights in them for the inside of an Estate Agents ( to illuminate the properties for sale)
Thinking of some MDF boxes.
What type of lights would be suitable? Mains, transformed? Wattage? Type of fitting?
Do I need to worry about the heat created inside these boxes?
Any ideas or tips would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Gerry

I would say MDF/ Plywood would be fine, But I would use LED spots as they tend to run cooler.

if its 8ft long a couple of Halide Box fittings looks good and more reliable than 50w halogens
