Review on ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ Americanflat 11x14 Shadow Box Frame in Black - Composite Wood Frame with Polished Glass, Soft Linen Backing for Wall and Tabletop Display by Gary Christon

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Need a lightbox to display artwork? It worked.

We bought some artwork from Dog Mountain in Vermont, they were an odd size (IIRC, it's 9.5 x 11 including the mount) that needed to be lit behind them. So I picked a B0753G7PHF Americanflat 11x11 Black Shadow Box Frame with a soft canvas backing that provides good thickness behind the artwork. The eyeshadow box has an inner frame to allow for multiple configurations. You can place objects in it, but in my case I wanted to create a lightbox so it can be seen through a piece of translucent artwork. I placed my art between the front glass and the inner frame. I wrapped two rows of B081872VTY Dimmable LED Strip LED Strips, Lampee 16.4ft Daylight/Warm White Non-Waterproof Mirror Lighting around the inside of the shadow box's inner frame, and the LED power connector and IR receiver on the underside of the interior of the shadow box (where I tied them to the frame with string for extra support). I made sure the led strip remote receiver is visible through the illustration. I cut a small piece off the back of the shadow box to run a thin power wire from the LED wall wart and I wire everything up. I had thick paper. I might get a mat to match one day, but, um, it looks good enough. Conclusion: A snazzy looking eyeshadow box/frame, beautifully designed made this project EASY and a lot of fun. highlighted.
