I like the idea of deeper white painted box but I'd use matt white
rather than gloss otherwise you will get a highlight from the light
source at some points.

Use a fluorescent - if you have a large source you can avoid the hot
spot problems.

There's about four stops brightness difference between typical matt and
gloss white paints.

I know you're into stained glass (from your other posts).....

I wonder if you've ever tried to make a lightbox to show off stained
glass...

With the new Craft Fair season coming along - I was thinking about
better ways of displaying stained glass suncatchers - and was
wondering about some sort of fold out lightbox display - but concerned
that it shouldn't be too bright and 'dazzle' people....

Can't always rely on sunlight to show off the glass - and it does need
light from behind for best effect...

Any experience of this ?
