What Is A Light Box? Introducing Light Boxes And Light Therapy
When I tell people I maintain a website about light boxes, the response I often get is: ?What exactly is a light box??
In the simplest terms a light box is a type of light that uses a low-watt diffuse bulb to spread light throughout a small translucent box. They have several different uses.
In art, a light box is used for stenciling, transferring designs or patterns, or tracing. For example, if you?ve ever gotten a tattoo, the tattoo artist may use a light box to trace out the pattern you?ve chosen or drawn for your tattoo with transferable inks, allowing him or her to transfer the pattern to your skin as a guideline before they start drawing on you. Or comic book inkers may use a form of tracing for their art finishing in comic books and graphic novels.
