That's not what I would call a light box. That's just a box to
provide a neutral background and little bit of bounce light.

A light box, or soft box, has translucent sides so external light
sources can be used without creating glare spots on the object being
photographed.

This is not to say that your box is not useful or a good backdrop. I
just don't feel it's a "light box".
