Title: Lightbox question
Post by: eyeCatchLight on March 08, 2011, 19:54

Hello,

what lighting do you use for a 28x28x28in. light box?
I have fluorescent daylight bulbs, but they aren't strong enough. How are you doing this?

need more details, is this a translucent box with lights directed from outside or is this a white box (cardboard or foamboard) with bounced light from front.  What are you shooting, it is still life, if still, why is flourscent not enough?

It's a light cube, translucent, lit from outside.

I am shooting still objects, latest was jewellery, but yes I know it's the worst stuff ever ;-). It's a general product shoot station.

light is not enough, because those 28W bulbs I have are for a smaller light cube. Light doesn't look even.

Strobist.com has the best info on lighting that I have found.
