Ok, I'm stupid but what the heck is light intergration and these units you're talking about. Here I was just trying to decided between 24" bulbs or a metal halide (although this in itself is confusing me to no ends). All I want is a simple set up to put my contact frame under for 12 x 18 max size. Why won't just getting three or four two bulb holders with the BL bulbs in them, set 'em above the neg, plug 'em in and expose work?
