I have one to downsize. Private msg. me for price. I can take a picture for you. I've had it for years, used a bit. I now use a light under my acrylic extension table when I need a light box.

I use the acrylic extension table for one of my machines and one of those little round battery powered lights that you push and it comes on. I can use it anywhere. Works great.

T
he storage totes I have looked at do not have a flat bottom and usually something in the middle to make it bumpy. What brand of bin do you use?

It is a very old Sterlite tote but its large enough and the imprinted name on the bottom is small & high enough up on the tote I easily can work around it, Mind when I was looking to purchase one was approx 20 years ago and they were very expensive for a single mom raising 3 kiddos.

Run down to Dollar Tree and pick up a 9 x 11 clear plastic tub, about 3 inches tall. Pick up a push button battery operated light and you have a light box for 2.50. I've had mine for years.
