LED Box for SIS?

The images in the installation were conceived as nine 4x5 foot (122 x 154 cm) panels hanging from the ceiling. They were shot on transparency film which was then scanned and processed into digital c-prints via lambda. All the prints are done, three of the nine are mounted. The prints are breathtaking.

But now I've gotten a new idea, and it's major: The images, to become the luminous objects that they are, can be printed via lambda on Duratrans film and put into LED light boxes. The technology exists to have light-weight light boxes that can suspend easily and cost $.80 (yes, 80 cents!) a year to run and the most of the print materials will begin to fade from light exposure after 100,000 hours.



One of the disadvantages is that there's no on/off switch, but with a 100,000-hour life-span, who's counting? Or, the unit can turn off with the power from the circuit breaker. That's another thing: The units plug in; and I don't know if they can be filled for battery power.

Then comes the image itself. Over the next few weeks, I'll buy a small light box and have a lambda made. More decisions from there. This is so much fun.
