Just fancy having a play with STILL LIFES...
If you're looking to use a lightbox as a diffuse back, or side light but can't justify the cost consider the use of a white / pale grey image set to view full screen on your LCD monitor, voila.

Maybe not as easy to reposition but you can experiment with different colours and even patterns and see whether you like the effect enough to warrant the expense buying something dedicated.

mmm, I might have a go at that myself.

cheers
