Lighting the way

Today light tables and light boxes are used for an unprecedented number of applications. Barring the usual photography and graphic design work they provide elegant solutions to problems faced by some industries; quite often nothing to do with paper or design.

Over the past 20 years we have produced lighting tables and illumination systems designed for highly specialised and industry specific procedures. One area where light boxes are extensively used is in the food industry. A professional light box is the ideal way to check the quality and consistency of food produce. Comparing bacon and the colour of tea leaves are just a few areas where having an even and reliable back light can be the key to becoming the market leader.

Testing in laboratories also may call for a large, evenly lit work surface. Calculating the absorption rate of different materials for use in nappies or other sanitary products is made easier with the correct equipment, whilst sexing flatfish is only made possible by having a strong light source to hold the fish up against.

Replicating daylight indoors by fixing light boxes in fake window frames .... we can even fit them with adjustable dimmer switches to simulate an overcast day. We are still trying to work out how to replicate night time.
