Proposed Light Box for flats

So I can take flats after my lights and darks to complete the AP session I’m going to make a light box

Please advise if this is ok for a light box

Telescope 6” f6 newt on HEQ5 mount

190mm diameter x 200mm high white pvc bucket with the end cut out ( fits snug over the end of OTA )

I have a flat 13watt LED Down 4000K colour temp with opal diffuser at 200mm diameter which will fit on the end of the bucket , once again a nice snug fit
The inside of the bucket is glossy white

Fit over end of OTA and plug into power then take my flats

Will this suffice as a light box to take flats ?

Do I need a white t shirt stretched over the OTA as well ??

Appreciate advice and comments in regards to my proposed light box and taking flats etc

Thanks in advance
