An EL panel is an option. I have one from http://www.gerdneumann.net that I used to use to take flats for my 300mm astrograph.

These days I mostly use dawn and dusk flats. They seem to do a better job of calibration and I can take them when the scope is idle. Having software to automate the process (ACP in my case) certainly helps though...
