    YEECH! Too bright, most likely. Probably fry the paper <G>. Start the
fading process immediately! Crisp the edges...
    As I'm sure you're very well aware, most of the better lightboxes (and
viewing booths, for that matter) are rated not only for color temperature
and spectrum quality, but also for their adherence to the brightness
standard. If you view a transparency on your big old 44" Macbeth box and
everything looks just great, and then you take it to your client and show it
to him on a cheezy little dim battery-powered thing, it might not look the
same. Ditto viewing sources for print material.
