I just finished a light box today. The box is from U-Haul, Large-18x18x24 in. I cut openings in the sides ,leaving 2 inches around the edges. I used Interfacing that my wife had. You can get it from a fabric store. I have heard others have used white tissue paper.Poster board, white and black are from a Dollar Store. At first I used masking tape to keep the trimmed poster board in place but today I cut narrow holes in the top and added large binder clips to make it easier to change poster boards. I have 2 goose neck lamps,about $7.00 each from Amazon or Walmart.I started out with 60 watt bulbs but today I changed to 40 Watt. I hope this helps.

To the OP: in that thread are two more DIY options.


Thank you Linda. I appreciate it.

I've researched a 24 x 24 Inches Table Top Photo Studio Continous Lighting LED Light Shooting Tent Box Kit that runs $69.00. Does anyone have ideas on a similar set up that is cheaper? Thanks for your help.


Seem like a good price to me.

I have done a lot of product photography for a number of clients. Equipment, a card table and a big soft box and form core panels from the dollar store. White balance and collect the check.

Just a note about Wish. Products come from China so don't expect them sooner than a month or more (despite its touts), despite the pictures the quality is likely to be inferior to US made items, and forget about "expected arrival" notifications.

I ordered 6 items on April 19th. So far I have received 2 (just this week).


UPDATE!

It's now June 8th and I still haven't received any more items from my order. BTW, if you check updates they just continue moving up 2 weeks.

Never again.

Wish Update. Finally received one more item yesterday. Still waiting for one more. Not likely going to ever use them again...I'm not that patient!

The latest change that I made to my set up was to purchase five different yards of fabric from Joannes to use as backgrounds. They clipped very easily under the large binder clips. One alteration was that I cut about 2 inches off the top front so it was easier to reach the clip and slip the fabric under it
