I would want tempered glass myself. If your fan quits/gets unplugged or whatever, that light is gonna make that glass so damn hot, I'm sure it will shatter/crack/explode.

Its hard to see in the picture but are there a couple inside each other? They sound like they would be perfect for a cooltube, but wait are they UV resistent?

Hell yeah those will work. Just make sure you have a strong reliable fan for good air circulation and everything will be fine.

Check out the diy section. (I'm trying to find one here on RIU, but search function never works for me.)

Here's one for ya: http://www.icmag.com/ic/showthread.php?t=62161
