For overseas buyers, choosing a lightbox wisely means avoiding low-price traps and focusing on scenario-specific needs. Here’s the key info to cut through the noise:
Parameter | Indoor Requirement | Outdoor Requirement | Red Flags |
---|---|---|---|
Brightness | 800–1500 nits | ≥2000 nits | No specific numerical value |
Light Source | LED (CRI ≥90, 50k+ hrs) | LED (waterproof, 50k+ hrs) | Unbranded chips, short lifespan |
Build Quality | Sturdy frame, acrylic panel | IP65+, anti-rust frame | Thin panels, loose seals |
Power/Ease | Energy-saving (dimming optional) | Solar/motion sensors (optional) | High power consumption |
Focus on total cost of ownership, not just upfront price. A quality lightbox lasts 5–10 years; a cheap one may need replacement in 1–2 years.
