Light Boxes & Light Tables

Light Tables

A light table (or light box) is a viewing device that is used to review photographic film or artwork placed on top of it. A horizontal form of a self-standing lightbox, it provides illumination of the subject from below through a translucent cover and fluorescent lights that emit little heat. Some light tables may be like big light boxes horizontally standing on some type of support (legs) allowing to lay sheets of paper or films on their work surface to easily view or trace them.
