recommend a light box

[aquamarine]

Can anyone recommend a good lightbox? What has been your experience with light boxes both good and bad?

Thanks

For what purpose? Looking at negatives? Slides? X-rays?

Or growing plants? Hanging over an aquarium? Using with a bathroom mirror?

Selling stuff on eBay?

S.A.D. light box?

Or maybe what some people would call a "tanning bed"?

Or maybe you're looking for one of these?

Ensures Happiness in home with these cute little words that add on to the light box. Any relationship in a house or office would enjoy this cute little one to convey sweet and short messages. The box comes with basic letters and numbers with an inbuilt LED light.

Perhaps it's a back issue, and OP is tired of heavy boxes...

I have a Dbmier light box for tracing. It is very thin and I have been very pleased with it. It was purchased on Amazon.

If you mean a S. A. D. light box, then I've been very happy using a goLITE from Phillips. (pun intended)

Light box for drawing ? artograph I have two of them, when the bulbs go I will put in led's.
For photography? I have a Tent style one with a graduated background that I use for selling my work. (https://www.loadstonestudio.com/collect ... led-lights)

For seasonal affectiveness disorder, as I recall the main criteria is that you want it to put out 10,000 lumens of light. Of course, don't look directly at it, but look down and read a book, eat breakfast, etc.

Oh wow! I didn't realize there would be any confusion.

But, this...

"If you mean a S. A. D. light box, then I've been very happy using a goLITE from Phillips."

Yes, that's what I meant. If anyone has any experience with these and what you'd recommend/not recommend.

Yes! I've read this too. There are bunch on amazon that fit this criteria and I wondered if there was any preference for one brand over another.

This was cool--thanks, but I don't think I described what I meant fully. But thanks for the reply and the great suggestion!

I purchased a Carex Health Brands Day-Light Classic Plus Bright Light Therapy Lamp CCFDL93011 as a gift for someone living in the Pacific Northwest who struggles with Seasonal Affective Disorder. When she uses it, she feels better. It is a temporary fix though, according to her. She plans to move some place sunny eventually because it is still not enough.

Thank you. It's helpful to hear your suggestion.
