We got this idea after playing with the arrival (myspace.com/thearrival) in orland park. They had built light boxes and were using a footswitch to turn them on and off. We wanted to do this automatically and this is what we came up with!

All materials can be purchased at any home depot / menards / lowes type of store.

  • What type of momentary contact switch are you using? On-off? Or off-on?

  • I was waiting for that "making of" video you mentioned in the comments, but it looks like you haven't been able to make it yet. I was wondering...how thick is the acrylic sheet on top? And how did you wire the contact switches to the lights? it's been a couple years since you made this...has the light box withstood the test of time? Thanks!

  • @aheronamedhope hey check out the box that Field of Vision made! It was inspired by you guys and it definatly is worth checking out!

  • @aheronamedhope hey guys. I'm really impressed with your music. SO DOPE! i saw that you said that you were ganna post a detailed video on how you made the boxes. I need help with the wiring and how you did all that stuff. if you could post that vid of how you did all the wiring and construction, i would be such a happy boy. Thanks guys:)

  • hey yall. what kind of wood did you use to make this box? and about how much did each one cost you? any other tips you have for building them would be greatly appreciated as well. thanks

  • How much will one box run me?
