Put a black tablecloth or sheet over it and set a potted IVY plant on top of it :D perfect disguise.

Or better yet make it look like a shrine for someone or even better a religious shrine. :D buahahahaha play the race or religion card if they find it.

I wish. But Im talking it is...5 1/2 feet tall!....I was thinking about placing it in my bathroom as a plastic never get ruined hold my bath items thing?

Thus I need a way to kill the light from the inside out!

Turn the light on. turn off the light in the room. Note where light is leaking then line the inside with mylar or white paper just try not to make fire hazards.

dont use tin foil either... its a fire hazard.... and it has hot spots, which burn your plant... find some mylar paper and tape it up on the inside it will light proof a bit and reflect all the light on the inside back to the plant.

errr tin foil might burn your plants and fragments light horribly. I use it because of the low lumen and wattage count of my single CFL setup. Find yourself some silver mylar wrapping paper (thanks mogie) and er duct tape fixes everything IMHO lol

i did the same. Wat u can do is roll up a unused towel so its a little thicker than the gap u need to fill. Now wat i did was staple the towel just behind the crack where the door and box meet, if you can follow what im saying. If not, reply back, because i found it worked almost perfectly, you wouldnt even notice the "micro-crack" of light, unless you were looking for it.
