(would the screen luminance be sufficient ?)
Or alternatively get hold of nice cheap whiteboard and take that outside on a sunny day and use that to get the custom white balance ?

Ian you don't use a light box for Custom White Balance.
Flats are used to remove imperfections in the optical train that you're imaging through, like dust spots and vignetting.
