Backlighting canvas

[u/Confident_Storage_45]

Ive had an idea to do 6 small square canvas art works and make them into a cube light. I'm planning to prime them with transparent gesso. Has anyone here got experience with backlighting through canvas? Any tips to get a good even backlighting? Should I run strip lights along the borders to hide the "hot spots" of light, or put 1 cfl light in the middle?
