rlvied 292 Posted July 7, 2012 I just use a 2ft. x 2ft. flouresent light that I bought from Lowes and turn face up on the table as a light table. I had a piece of white opaque plastic that I put on it to make it a little more rigid. Not too expensive and works really well. Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OWJones 1,981 Posted July 7, 2012 Has anyone ever tried using cold cathode light tubes (like the ones you see in gaming computers)? I found some on ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/LOGISYS-WHITE-12-DUAL-COLD-CATHODE-LIGHT-KIT-PC-Computer-CCFL-Inverter-Switch-/380401847045?pt=US_Computer_Case_Accessories_Tool_Kits&hash=item5891b78b05#ht_2493wt_1163) that look promising, I would think two sets of those spaced under a piece of frosted glass should make a decent light table surface.

Coaster36 327 Posted July 7, 2012 I dont see why they wouldnt work. But if your cheap like me, youd take a look at thrift shops. They always have old scanners, that nobody wants. Pick up 2 for a few bucks and youll get more light then youd need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ropie 47 Posted January 11, 2015 If you have some electronics knowledge, find a flat panel TV with a broken screen. You can remove the screen, add some glass in it's place and you've got a semi quick box. You could also just pull out what you need and scrap the rest and use the guts to build the table. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
