James,

The really expensive ones are the thin ones (I think the brand in the US is
Cabin). I have one of those in a small size, 4x5 inches. For home use, I have
just a standard "thick" box, 8x10 or thereabouts, which works fine. I do not
even remember the brand name. Either box is fine, and the light seems the
same; the thin ones are simply more portable.
