After looking at light tents, I decided to make one myself. Some of the reviews on the cheaper kits mentioned they were flimsy and the lighting supplied with them must only be run for ten minutes maximum, followed by a break of thirty minutes to avoid overheating. I used items all found around the home: wood for the frame (I could have used a cardboard box with the sides cut out), a fine white plain net curtain, some lining paper for the infinity curve, drawing pins and bulldog clips to hold everything together and three anglepoise lamps fitted with 23W (100W equivalent) 6500k low energy spiral daylight bulbs. I tried white tracing paper, a thin white cotton bed sheet and some horticultural fleece for the sides, which all worked, but I chose the net curtain in the end as it seemed to diffuse the light better without cutting down on the brightness. I adapted some foil food containers to make reflectors for the lamps, which made the light brighter. These lamps don’t get so hot and can be left on for longer periods. I have read that a silver photographic light reflector laid on top of the box also works, cutting down on the need for three lamps, but I have not tried this myself. As I will not always want a white background, I have found an assortment of material and wallpaper off cuts to use for the infinity curve. Although not as professional as the more expensive kits on the market, I was happy with the end result and am looking forward to taking some indoor shots on these cold dark winter evenings.
