LED Light Boxes.. would anyone be interested?

[paul waines]

It was more to compare where the lights are too light, if you see my meaning. Do you have one of that one with the lights on?

Sure I get what you are looking for.. unfortunately I do not have any pics like that. I will see if I can get some tonight though!

Do you actually have any of these in hand, or are you working off manufacturer specs and pics?

[guest8]

I do not have any in hand, most are stock photos minus the ones where I ask for specific information like photos of the AC adapters with a tape measure so that I can gauge their sizes.

If everything continues to go as well as it has with this supplier I suspect I will be ordering at least 5 of them in a week or two.

Very cool.  Can you get those in Italian 2F size...?

Ok without having them in hand I think this will be the best I can offer..

You used an emoticon, so Im not sure if you were serious or not.

But, I have more than a few Bus Stop posters and currently I have two spotlight frames that I rotate them into. So one of the first questions I had was what kind of sizing could they offer and they could do do 4'x6'. now, I haven't gotten a price on those yet and I am scared what shipping will cost. Not to mention that if my research is correct I will get hit with 5% import duties and possibly state sales tax when I pick them up. So I hope to find out more about the larger sizes but for now I am focusing on the most common.

I'd say it was a little bit of both.  Do you a have a website link for these guys?  I wouldn't mind seeing some more info.

I don't know how an old Italian poster would display being lit through the back, probably not very well.  I imagine this is probably better suited for modern stuff.

If it isn't a true double sided poster, printed on both sides, you don't want to use a backlit lightbox.  The poster will appear extremely washed out.

Yeah as Jayn stated .. light boxes are best with double sided posters.

As for a site, I am dealing with the manufacture direct from China, so there isn't a website so to speak. If you are interested in some, I hope to start supplying these in the near future. I just have to familiarize myself with all of the customs/importing/duties/paperwork. If I do well enough I may make a website with info and set it up for people to order frames of whatever sizes they wish.

P.S. Jayn I responded to your comments on AVS

I like it.  What is the cost?

[guest8]

The price can depend on what options the buyer wants, I expect it to be right around $275+ shipping. I am still trying to find a customs broker that I can work with to help me bring the frames into the country at the moment. Since I am not a business, these are just "personal" imports at the moment and most places don't want to deal with anything other than businesses. Once I find a broker I will have a better idea of what my final cost will be, I am fairly certain that there will be a 5% VAT added on + the broker fees. The broker fees could make or break the deal at the moment. I was hoping to maybe use a broker a couple times to get the feel for what all needs to be done and then do everything myself.

I am revisiting the idea of getting some of these, would anyone here still be interested in picking one or more of these up if I did go ahead and get some shipped in?
