Lightbox for PCB.
My project- make a lightbox ,might be of interest to those looking to make one. TBH, the price of commercial ones is extortionate. Cost was -box- £15 for a half sheet of MDF, CUT TO SIZE: circa £18 for tubes: £3 for starters , and circa £8 for the RS ballast.
I've managed to get my project notes to attach, but circuit diagram is not allowed - it's too large, and I can't see anyway to attach. |

Re: Lightbox for PCB.
I use a Chinese nail varnish curing lamp like this:

I clamp a sheet of glass over the top of the PCB and mask and slide it under the lamps but one could also be gutted to provide the tubes, sockets and ballasts for a more conventional light box design. |
