I made my first attempt today, i used some white lining material i got for £2.50 for the sq yard, i was told it had a similar thread count to silk and was semi see through.

i might try something else, i also used it on the floor of it and curving up to the top so there was no seam

I also tried using a piece of leather and mirror inside but im unable to find a way of not getting in the roof of the box

pictures are taken on crappy iphone camera btw, and i didnt have lamp either side just natural light ive yet to buy a couple of lamps

but these look perfect, i had one of these befpre and i gives off a nice white light

+1 for this. I bought one and love it. The UV light is great for charging lume and it's easier to eliminate glare
