Great stuff. Nice and simple design, and such easy lighting effects can produce great pictures.

u would need a bigger box and much bigger lights.. i use 2x500watts on the small one..u would need 2x1000 for bigger one.

Neat trick. Easy setup too... Would 2x 150W MH security lights do the job for lighting?

Very nice DIY lightbox! I need to remember this thread, I've just ordered a Nikon D80 kit and plan on lots of macro shooting when it arrives.
