I attended a class at my guild and the instructor said light boxes are overrated ... she uses 2 tables about a foot apart and puts a piece of glass on the tables with the space in between and traces her patterns. you can use folding tables, end tables, etc. Free and works great! (Make sure you don't use glass that is too "thin".

I bought a three drawer plastic storage item at Walmart, Purchased an under the cabinet style fluorescent light. My hubby cut a small groove in one side of the drawer to accommodate the cord. When I need it, I take out that one drawer, the light nd it is set up in a few seconds. The other two drawers are extra storage. Cheap, works for me. Could easily be taken to a class.

A friend made me a square drawer-type light box in which he installed a fluorescent tube with an outside of the box switch. It had a plexi top and was a wonderful place to trace patterns, etc. He also installed an ordinary handle so I could take it to class and I paid only $25.00 for it years ago.
