Here’s A Lightweight, But Handy Photo Light Box! And it’s inexpensive too. It’s the Traxx Photo Studio Light Box kit with LED light strip. If you shoot photos of small objects to post online, a light box can give your pictures a more professional look. Light boxes for professionals are expensive, but you don’t need a fancy one for occasional close up work. Five Beyond has one and yes, it’s a bit beyond $5 at $7. The kit doesn’t come with any instructions, or at least mine didn’t. But as you’ll see in my video on this week’s show, once you unfold it, it’s just a matter of snapping it together. The kit includes an LED light strip and micro USB cable, but you’ll need to use your own AC/USB plug. Or you can power it from your computer or an external USB battery charger. Also included are interchangeable black & white backdrops. I’m not sure why you need the white backdrop since the entire light box is already white. Once set up, the LED light strip does provide bright, even lighting. There is no way to adjust the LED light however. This is not for photographing big items as the assembled size is 10in x 10in. It seems to be made of a lightweight, but sturdy plastic. $7. (Plus shipping if you buy it online. Shipping has gone up again. It used to be $5, now it’s $7.95. But that’s for any size order.
