Toyogo Lighting System

The Toyogo Lighting System is a cheap lighting for small product shoots at home & is DIY too. Talk-cock sessions over coffee with a Digital Touch-up artists friend resulted in the making of tis. The idea started out as a cardboard light-box with tracing paper soon became something a bit more advance, steady, easier to use & quick to stow away, & yet still affordable to produce.
My friend shared the idea with his father & some how got his dad to make it (so... do exploit tis avenue). It was once used to do simple product shots for his touch-up work, but since gettin a real lighting system he has been stopped usin the these lights. Recently he pass them to me knowing I will have better use for it. Now I just need a better camera...

The system in action:

I use my Lazy-lay chair as a infinity back drop, but it is only good for smaller objects.

what went into makin it:
2 Toyogo tupperware
4 Energy savin daylight bulbs
4 Bulbs screw-on holder
2 Cheap pan/tilt tripod
Reflective silver sticker/foil
Wires & plugs
Screw & nuts
Unwanted hard plastic wire casing

Cut a small opening on the side of the lid allows the wire to be store inside the container.
Stack up tupperware to save space.


Bulbs holders fasten to container with screw & nuts, both bulbs are on a one wire parallel linked up Reflective silver sticker/foil are stuck across the whole container inner surface.


Small pieces of hard plastic give extra support for the screws & act as a point to fix the tripod base plate.
Tripod base plate screwed into tupperware...

...makes it easy to put the lights up or remove from the tripod legs.
