The idea of a cardboard box and lights seems like a fire hazard, but if it's watched I guess it's ok. I just found out about ceramic heat bulbs used for reptile cages. My daughter got a gecko and we used this light to heat the tank. It gets much hotter than an incandescent bulb and still fights to get the temp of a 20g tank to 90 degrees.
