EDIT: To answer your question, I would put em right into the box after they have germed.
Introduce them to the light slowly and wait for them to turn green before getting them too close. Move them a bit closer the greener they get till you are close to the light. You could probably do it in a few hours or a day. Then you won't shock them or burn them. Even flouros can burn seedlings if too much too soon.
