Hi,

i was wondering about if a light box is usefull. Does it improve the picture quality brightness?
I dont have lightbox.

Can i put the condenser lens in front of the lamp without a light box or should i build a lightbox with the condenser lens?


What you guys suggest? Are there some great works out there i have seen also a light box with 2 mirrors?

A lightbox isn't really necessary. I've seen a lot of builds that just have the reflector, lamp and precon sandwiched together using 120mm fan guards.
I think a couple of the benefits of having a light box would be that it holds in a lot of stray light that would otherwise interfere with the desired point light source, and it would prevent scorching of the enclosure's wood.
It's really just a matter of personal preference, I guess.

cool... will try without a light box.


what do you think wich condenser lens should i buy. Can you suggest you one a heat resisting one ?
