Title: Budget Lightbox
Post by: pixie on March 25, 2008, 02:49:50 am

Hi - I need a budget lightbox (flat table top - not upright) to view transparencies and also for stained glass work.

I realize Just Normlicht and GTI offer the best products but these are out of my price range.

Ideally I'd like something 16"x18"-ish and < $300. Color-correct lamp and even lighting (no hotspots) are important. The later, I think tends to be an issue in many of the budget units.

If anyone has any experience with any models they've been satisfied with - I would appreciate hearing your feedback.

Cheers.

Could you make your own? I wouldn't have thought it would be too hard?
