Okay, so my birthday is fastly approaching and I am looking at getting a light box. Unfortunately I dont know which one to get. This would be my first experience and purchase of a light box. I was just wondering if any of you out there could help me? What is a good brand? What is better a light box or a light pad? What is the best for my money? What should a beginner get? If anybody out there could help me I would greatly appreciate it!!
