There are many thousands of Lightboxes on the market and therefore it is very important that when you choose one it will be ideal for your particular needs.
Lightboxes are used for many purposes including viewing X-rays or photographic slides, creating a light source for people who want to do tracing or if you want to display art work or advertising posters for the public to see.
As each of these Lightboxes has a very different purpose then the construction and light source has to be very different. When visiting any shopping centre it will be very obvious that Lightboxes are being used extensively displaying advertising literature. Using Lightboxes makes these poster stand out and attracts the attention of customers as they walk past. These types of Lightboxes have to have a construction that allows posters to be changed. The front needs to be opened so that the poster can be placed behind the front acrylic screen, holding it in place and away from any interference. These Lightboxes care usually fixed to an advertising stand or wall with a front that can be opened. The lighting source is usually by fluorescent lamps which are placed within the Lightbox frame at the edge so that the light reflects over the whole surface area. In most cases they include a fluorescent tube for lighting.
If the Lightbox is to be used by architects or designers, then it has to be designed differently. It does not need to have a front opening as it is used primarily flat on a table. The light source needs to give a bright, even all over light so that the complete lighting surface has the same lighting intensity.
The main construction has to be solid as the surface will have a lot of pressure placed on it.
When the Lightbox is used in hospitals or a doctors surgery, it again has to be slightly different.
It has to have a light source that gives a bright even all over light so that all of the X-ray slide etc will be displayed evenly and also it has to have the facility of a clip where the X-ray slide etc can be clipped into and to hold it while it is being examined. This Lightbox also need fixtures on the back to enable it to be hung on a wall.
When considering which type of Lightbox is most suitable for your particular needs all these factors need to be taken into consideration.
Because there are so many Lightboxes available from hundreds of manufactures, then you should be able to obtain one that is most suitable to your needs.
