Built a small and delightfully portable (and store-able) lightbox today:
Sterlite translucent storage box
3 brooder light covers, with 60 watt incandescent bulbs
Adhesive utensil hooks
Dowel rod
1 yard each of white bleached muslin and black broadcloth
Yardstick
I hung the utensil hooks on the "ceiling" of the light box, and ran the dowel through the hooks. I drape the fabric over the dowel. The lights clamped on either side of the yardstick provide enough counterbalance to hold it up, and I rest the other one on the top of the yard stick. Because the bulbs are only 60 watt (though I picked up some 75s, too) and incandescent rather than halogen, I don't worry that I'm going to start a fire mid-session.
Props to Stephen for the design.
I had no plan for this, I made it from an image that was posted by one of my contacts, Jill Clardy This is made with 8 3-way PVC elbows. The technical name for these is Elbow with side corner outlet, but everyone calls them 3-ways. All the 1/2" pipe is cut to 18" lengths. You can build this without the bottom using just 4 elbows and 8 lengths of pipe if you put rubber pads on the pipe......but this is much more stable.
PVC pipe comes in 10" lengths, I had them cut them to 5"feet to make them more easily transportable.
You can get 3 18" lengths out of each 5' pipe, with just a small piece left over. A 10' piece of 1/2" PVC is less than $2. I'll give you the total I spent when I show you the whole piece constructed.
The piece on the back you do not need. This is 1/8" coated hardboard that I had left from another project. I had other ideas with this. Like covering it with black and rose colored fabric I have, and
placing the object on shiny tile. I bought one black granite tile at Lowes for $0.99
Lightbox From A 12" x 9" x 9" cardboard box
This is my rough and ready prototype lightbox that I made, in ten mins,next lightbox is going to bigger and better, and instead of paper I will use flexible card, and for the hole I will cover it with grease proof paper or tracing paper.
Fig 1 Shows, the hole cut from one of the sides, (Which will become the top of the box), after cutting the hole out it was covered on the outside of the box,with a piece of white paper it also shows beginning to line the box with A4 white paper, and celotaped into position.
Fig 2 Shows the top of the box, notice the flap on the front edge, this will shield the light from the camera lens.
Fig 3 Notice it now has a curved piece of paper taped to the back wall, and to the front edge of the box ( in this image I have used a smaller piece of paper to show the back curve. In the proper version the paper covers the full back wall)
Fig 4 shows the finished box
Fig 5 Shows the angle poise tube lamp with a 40 watt bulb, in place and lit, you can see why we left the flap on the top now as it shields the lens

I continue to play with the lightbox. It’s just inconsistent lighting which always needs a temp adjustment but it’s fun to play with. Candy is easy to get and cheap to work with. It’s not a big lightbox. (I have two) so this sort of thing works well. The iPhone 13 pro has a great Lens setup for this. It takes better macro photos than my M50.
Mi primer lightbox!

I kind of went off on a tangent with this one. I covered the back, the bottom and the right side with a black fabric. Then I put the white sheet over it so the sheet covered the top and the left side. The Bible is on a black granite tile I bought at Lowe's for $0.99. I used just one 60 watt bulb at the left sheet. Then I covered the front with a scrap of sheet, and I cut a hole in it for the camera lens. I put the camera on a tripod and put the lens through the hole I cut. This was taken at 1/2 second shutter, F8 aperture, with the lens at about 18mm, and 100 ISO.
I use the potato chip bag clips and small wood clamps to hold all these sheets and fabrics in place. It looks rather Rube Goldberg, but it works.

A student project. A box, with openings to let light in. It's kind of like a coconut, just a brown shell on the outside, but when you peek in, it gets a bit crazy.
This double-sided lightbox is perfect for your window display area. Promote products to the outside and to others inside your store.

You wait ages for one, and two come along together.
Gobsmacked to find another one.
This one is on Millbank approaching the Lambeth Bridge Roundabout.
So can anyone find a clear shot of the FRONT.

Looking at Streetview today, theres a Roundabout sign in the same place. Could it be that this lightbox is a RAB similar to the Rochdale ones?
Raises one question, special dispensation for this one sign? Experimental?
Similar situation to the 1½ times size which all seem to be BEND or DOUBLE BEND orientated.
This was also done in the LightBox. The difference was that I closed it all up and just used a small night light inside. I brightened it up up a bit with the levels adjustment in Photoshop.
