That makes sense to me, but I don't know how fast this shutter is.

On a DSLR you can take shots 1/1000s and the shutter isn't seen. Wondering how fast these CCDs can be?

I did some test flats .1s and I think faster, couldn't notice any visible issues. Am I missing something?
I have a bright EL sheet that really dims if I feed it 6V instead of 12V. Have you tried limiting the voltage on your lightbox? Then the exposure time is a moot point as you can reach the target ADU easily.
