looking in to getting a Light Box
 

i was look at Den's gallerys and other people and got me wanting to get a light box for photo and also toy reviewing on my you tube channel. and i was wondering is a Artest flat Light Box good to use it with 3 other lights that are more then less desk lamps.

Den-O and I use lightboxes we made from scratch. It's a lot cheaper and get just as good results.

This is the site I used when I built mine:
Light Box Tutorial

Remember, the most important part of a lightbox is the lamp bulbs. Make sure you get the right ones.

Thanks for that link Conundrum, I've been looking to do something like that for myself for a while.

Until this day I have never been able to distinguish and choose light bulbs. I just don't know what gives off a yellow light even after browsing the selection.

And remember, it doesn't have to be pretty to get the job done. Here's my setup:

I should also note that both Den and I process our photos with editing software. The light box does most of the work for you but a lot can still be done to adjust the contrast and make the colors 'pop'.
I believe he still uses gimp for free and I use Adobe Lightroom 3 (costs about $80).

I made mine from stuff lying around the house; cardboard shipping box, tissue paper and a white poster board. The only thing I had to buy was 2 clip-lamps.

My (less than $5) setup:

As you can (hopefully) see, my setup is just about as haphazardly thrown together as they come. Two shipping boxes, a poster board, a clear file for reflections, and three desk lamps I've owned for more than five years each. The most important parts of course, are the tripod, lightbulbs and camera, which subsequently cost the most. I'll usually do light color touch-ups if I feel them necessary in Microsoft Office's standard picture manager. Heavy edits go to Gimp, which is an amazing program if you're looking to pay nothing. It's really a lot more about how you use your camera; the quality of the lightbox obviously bears some importance, but that's only to a point. If you can get the image you want looking like you want, it doesn't matter if you used the most expensive equipment to get it.
Case in point is: If you don't want to do any work, any purchasable lightbox will do the trick for you, but don't be hesitant to get a little crafty.
