Applications
Dual-table fluorescent light boxes like this Multiplex unit are used in film production, photography, animation, and print/prepress workflows for the visual inspection and color evaluation of film negatives, transparencies, slides, and animation cels. The daylight-balanced Chroma 50 fluorescent lamps (5000K) provide a color-neutral backlight that is the standard for critical color matching work in film labs, animation studios, and prepress departments. The angled top table allows the viewer to examine material at a comfortable angle, while the flat bottom table accommodates larger flat sheets or stacked work. These units were widely used from the 1970s through the 1990s in professional film and photo labs as workstation-grade light sources for dailies review, cel registration, and transparency color grading. This type of equipment remains useful in archival and film restoration contexts, or for any workflow requiring a large, bright, color-accurate backlit viewing surface.
This Multiplex Dual Table Light Box is being sold AS-IS for parts or repair. The top table's Plexiglas viewing surface is cracked (visible in photos). Both table sections have their fluorescent bulbs installed and do light up at standard 115V wall voltage, but the unit is sold as-is with no warranty or guarantee due to the cracked Plexiglas. The metal housing shows significant rust and corrosion throughout, particularly along the lower edges and around the fluorescent tube brackets. The unit is approximately 55 lbs and will require freight shipping — please contact us for a quote or to arrange local pickup or a facility viewing. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
