Re: Lighting Issue!!
6700K would be a great way to go, but I wouldn't put tin foil in the housing for fear of it melting and screwing things up. Maybe clean the splash screen on the hood?

Re: Lighting Issue!!
Foil won't melt. Would take some extreme heat to do that and would probably catch fire by that point. It is used in an oven, right?
