Everything about Lightbox
Translucent surface illuminated from behind
A lightbox is most commonly a translucent surface illuminated from behind, used for situations where a shape laid upon the surface needs to be seen with high contrast. A lightbox is also a blocked-off area of an overhanging roof, as over an extended eve, added to allow light to pass through. Wikipedia →
