Hi Bill,
A few years ago, a friend gave me a Graflex Graflarger for my Crown 4x5. It's an original equipment cold light back for converting the camera into a
cold light enlarger. You could probably convert one of these for larger use by building a box or bell between the light source and the "camera" back.
Check eBay, there's one currently listed with a bid of around $45. The auction number is : 1948553602.

I have thought about mounting a light bulb in a white box and trying to find some diffusion glass (I wonder how even the light would be), or using the el panel from a junk laptop as a cold light source (I don't know if it would be bright enough, or if I could even remove it from the laptop in working order).
