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

WRONG.

They CAN have translucent sides for more lighting and diffusing
possibilities, but that does not in and of itself make it a light-box. Its
function is what defines it as a light-box, not its materials nor
construction.

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".

Just because your only knowledge of photography is what you read(?) and see
in magazine-ads doesn't make it right.
