12,000k is not a photographic light box. You need one around 5600K and a CRI over 90.

Look at and read reviews.

Bob is correct as usual!

Are you in AU? That changes options and cost.

Thank you Bob and Randy. Indeed I am ion AU. Not sure whether the light boxes would need to be specifically within the AU market. Beyond the obvious plug shape, I was hoping the power adapters would be somewhat universal... akin to laptop adaptors..?

look for a used X-ray viewer from a medical office. Some are tabletop 11x14, or 16x20. Mine cost about $2 at a swap meet. Color balanced and appropriately bright.
