Lightbox out of an LED panel
Needed an artist's lightbox to trace a couple photos for sketches. Though they don't sell them locally, and Amazon is just too expensive, 70-140$ for the shipping alone to me. First approach was to use some photo frames and glue an LED strip to them. But that was inefficient and would take a LOT of time. Dad suggested I use these 600x600mm (2"x2") panels we had laying around. Bought an inline switch, wired it up to the tiny power supply, isolated the wires with electrical tape, and now I have this! Though it is really damn bright and will undoubtfully cause me eye strain over time, that's why I'll have to wear sunglasses while working with it. submitted by /u/Budget_Leather8681 [link] [comments]
