Tom,
To get you started, I did a search at the
Index of Magazines
, using "constant lighting" as the search term. Here's the link:
http://index.mrmag.com/tm.exe?opt=S&cmdtext=CONSTANT+LIGHTING&sort=A&output=3&view=50
I think you might want to start with the more recent citations and work backwards, so that you are taking advantage of the more recent advances in electronics. If you don't want to build the circuits yourself there are kit modules available.

you have to send me an e-mail for me to have an address to send them to, as they are attachments, which cannot, to the best of my knowledge, handle attachments.
