I don't like the idea of putting lights inside the enclosure. Sure it takes up a little more room to have it out of the enclosure but i think overall it's safer on the snake.

I totall agree the finishing process is most difficult!
I am going to build a 8X4X3 cage, I hope I can survive the sanding, staining and the most horrible applying polyurethane. I use those gas mask with two filters but still help for a certain extend only!

Finishing an enclosure is definately the most time-consuming and irritating for me. Whether varnish or paint, by that time I just want to be done.
