I have this generic, 36-inch cube light tent. It is kinda too big. Like I could camp in it (that is a 12-inch LP in photo).

Anyone recommend a nice 20-24-inch cube, with built-in lighting? Thanks!

Many, many years ago a couple of co-workers and myself built a 24" light cube using a white painted wooden frame covered by squares from a neon ceiling light diffuser. We created a seamless backdrop from poster-boards. Its top was hinged to fold backwards. Four 10” clamp-on reflector dishes with 60W 6500 kelvin bulbs illuminated the interior from the outside (we used Ektachrome, a Kodak outdoor color balanced transparency film). The box worked quite well and produced no hot spots.

For today there are many choices. Myself, I would shop B&H Photo Video - they have a large selection of light tent/sheds along with customer's reviews.

Gary, I decided to go with this generic 24-inch cube. Comes with two LED light bars, light diffuser and 3 color backdrops. Lightweight and portable. Came overnight --- via Amazon Prime. Will look at B&H products, maybe later --- they are considerably more $$$. But, prolly made much better.

Thanks, for your help.

What do you want to photograph using this equipment?

I fix and sell guitar amps, as a side thing. So, amp chassis and vacuum tubes.
