| Hey Byron: Be very careful the lightbulb cannot touch the cardboard or even get near it. It can start a fire. It is safer to use clear plastic so you can see the fixture at all times. Plastic will just melt and make a nasty smell, not a fire. Also, cardboard will reach an ignition point much faster if the heat doesn't have a way to escape.-Sandy |
