A light box is an illuminated work surface usually used in science, art and industry to make inspection and creative tasks much easier. Our Beam light boxes produce a pure white light with an adjustable brightness and can be precise set and worked directly over. Our light boxes also have an even distribution of LED light which runs right to the edge of the screen preventing light or dark spots which may cause distortion.
