LED Video Softbox
Hi, my name is Philipp, i am 15 years old and from germany. I built six softboxes for shooting photos or for making videos. They operate at 12v DC and can be mounted on tripods.
On the Bottom
I used someting like these for mounting the lights on a tripod: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B000LWCB5O/ref=pd...
The Left Side
The cable for the 12v DC comes out of the left side.
The Right Side
On the right side there is a connector for hooking up the next lamp in series.
Four Lamps in Series on Tripods
The Back
On the back der is a switch for switching on the lamp
The Inside
On the inside of the softbox I used some simple LED stripes like these:

They are sodered together with some stiff wire, on the lower left corner you can see the switch and the power input, on the right the power output.
Spacers
I put some spacers between the wooden body and the mat acrylic glass so the heat from the LEDs can get out. (They get pretty hot after some time!)
Power
For powering all six lamps up together i used an old car battery charger.
