Hi all,
I'm going to make myself a DIY Lightbox tomorrow.
I'm going to use a large square cardboard box, cut holes in the top and two sides and cover with some old white T-shirts, or buy some cheap fabric.
For the inside I am going to an art shop to buy some thick paper or thick (but bendy) card to arc in the middle (just so it will not crease).
Now, I'm in a bit of a middle because I do not know what sort of lighting to use.
I have been looking on the Argos website and they sell flexible desk lamps for £10 each, they say it is a 50watt halogen bulb, or I can use other low watt bulbs... Surely I need at least 100 watt on either side of the box? Brighter the better, right? Or am I wrong?
Can anyone suggest any other type of lighting I could use?
Thanks!
