I have just recently completed building myself a couple of light boxes and I am very pleased with the results. If anyone is interested in me building one for them, PM me and I can discuss price etc, one thing is for sure, they are going to be at least a third of the price of imported ones, and IMHO work just as well. The two attached images will give you some sort of idea of my construction. My method of construction allowes the light box to fit over the front of the telescope/dew shield, much like a cover so one does not need to balance it on the scope.
I use a 12v lighter type connector for the power, and each LED is rated at between 6000mcd and 12000mcd depending on the size of the box required.
If interested please feel free to ask any questions.

Willik, it would have been nice to know you received my email response, too many are doing this now.
I note that you did the same back in December, if you are not interested which is obvious, please do not waste my time with these requests. It seems to be a trend now on the forum.
I send you.emails and you
do not respond I give up shame l have purchased from Germany instead it was easier.

Something is massively wrong with your emails, as I have responded to all of them. No one else is having a problem, so I suggest you check you service provider or spam box.

Time for a bit of a rant. This is getting to be an on going theme for some reason. I am getting very sick of people asking for a quote for a light box, which I send and not getting any sort of response at all, it is common courtesy to at least acknowledge my replies. If people don't want to respond, don't waste my time requesting a quote.
The ones I use are nothing fancy but seem to do the job. Yeah could go the whole hog and all that stuff, but the price would be totally outrageous.
Basically the light box does not need dimming except for certain cams that get twitchy with too much intensity.
