I love to photograph flowers & turn them into digital art.I have a small light box but I am looking for a long light pad that I can place my flowers on & then photograph them.All the light pads I have seen are small like an iPad.Do any of u know where I may find a larger pad? Thanks

I used to have a light box for sorting slides, don't know if they are still made. . It was the size of a 15" laptop screen. If all else fails you could use a laptop screen with a blank page in Word or some other program. To protect the screen put a thin piece of white fabric on it.

Yes,that is what I am looking for the slide sorter.I don't have a lap top but do have an iPad but I wanted a longer pad so I could put a bunch of flowers on it to photograph.

maybe an artists lightbox

https://www.ebay.ie/sch/i.html?_odkw=artists+light+box&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xartists+light+box+a3.TRS0&_nkw=artists+light+box+a3&_sacat=0

these are A3 but you can get A4 (a little shorter than legal paper size).

You might try an x-ray illuminator like this. You can purchase daylight bulbs if you look on line. Also you might be able to find a used one is a clinic or hospital is removing them as film is no longer used in almost all areas of medicine.

Thinking differently, how about a glass top table, with a white translucent material over it or a sheet of white translucent perspex, stood upon blocks.
Leave enough space underneath for your lights.
