Just wanted to know where I could get a pretty medium to large one (24 x 24 x or 30 x 30 x 30). I would prefer one that had lights sort of like a setup or kit. I have 2 clamp on lights that I use now but doubt they would clamp on anything. I was searching ebay also and found a 30" one with 2 lights and the lights had tripods as well as the light box it self. I was around 180$ or so.

I have no idea where to shop for camera equipment so anyone could point me in the right direction.

ps. I already made a diy light box but it is not very portable and I have to dissemble it every time I use it.

I've been toying with the idea of getting one also. Try searching for "photo light tent". Also, take a good look at the kit. There's a 32x32x32 inch softbox for about $70 that comes with a black and a white backdrop. (note that some are sizing the light boxes in cm, so be careful).

Add a couple of painting lamps (the quartz ones) or a few desk lamps, and you'll have a basic kit (but will have to do white balancing.) Watch out if you use flourescent lights, the CRI is not alwas the best. (See //www.ecse.rpi.edu/~schubert/Light-Emitting-Diodes-dot-org/chap19/F19-03%20Painting%20&%20CRI.jpg)
