Nice blast cabinet, as far as lighting goes consider LED. For example, I just picked up an LED drop light from Sears for around $15. This could be easiley adapted for this use. They are very bright and would be easy to mount inside your cabinet. They operate on low voltage (12 volt in most cases) and use a remote transformer.
This particular drop light is very compact once the outer tube housing is removed and would be ideal for any number of uses. IMO
LEDs do not produce any heat (important inside a confined space) and they are super energy efficient. Plus, they last 20,000 plus hours and usually never need replacing. Ever
Par floodlamps produce lots of heat, use 20 times more electricity and are old technolegy.
LEDs are the future in lighting.
