This would be useful for anyone needing a light panel for making good FLATS.
It comes in A4 and A3 formats.

I see that LED lighting panels are becoming more popular now. Has anyone got a good look at one up close to see how evenly illuminated they are?

Hi Albert,
Here is the "proper" panel and you can get all the technical info on this page. But they are a lot more expensive.

Hey Folks,

I tried making a home made flat light box instead of buying the Gerd Neuman panel. I figured I could save a heap of money. However, I wound up spending a considerable sum before giving up. The light was just not uniform enough, too many photo sessions were ruined by the bad flats. I even experimented with a white screen on a laptop, but this was not ideal either.

This was frustrating after spending the money on an observatory, It's so rare to get good imaging opportunities that i just decided I couldn't afford NOT to have the right tools. Anyway, I bought Gerd Neuman panel and have never regretted it since. It was cheap in comparison to the investment in equipment and time i have made over the last 3 years. I wish I had known about the item on amazon though...it's cheap enough to be worth a shot.

Hi,

If you are interested in scientific work with CCD Photometry, you need to be sure the Panel emits uniformly (across the filter passband), let alone missing the filter passband (such as the near infra-red Ic in some cases) completely.
