High CRI light for Color Transparency and Re-photographing

I am looking for a high CRI light source for color transparency and re-photographing for museums. I need an even light source of about 6x6 inches.

The light table is about 5” in depth, but we can use any table. The largest films we re-photograph are 4x5", so if the diffused light is about 6” inches then would be fine. I don’t mind making a box to hold a bright 5000K LED array and I’ll add white plastic to even the light out - several layers. So far I have done about 10,000 images and they look a lot better than flatbed or even drum scanners, which I once owned. The modern sensors in cameras are simply better. And I can balance the camera to the light to get the RGB equal.

What about strip lights, cut up? Seems hard to connect and needs DC power, but you might have a better idea. Like something off the shelf.

The first product that came to mind was our D50 5000K T5 LED Linear Light Fixture for Color Matching. This product only requires a DC plug for power, can be daisy-chained, and offers 95 CRI light output. 

For a slightly more complicated installation, we would suggest our Absolute Series 99 CRI 5000K LED Strip Lights. These 99 CRI lights utilize pre-attached barrel-jack adapters which can easily connect to a DC power supply. 

Additionally, the LED Strip to Strip connectors can be used to connect segments of LED strip lights in the event that several parallel lengths were to be utilized.
