For hobby purposes, this.

If you use LEDs, just do a quick check that your led spacing and
distance to your artwork from the leds does not introduce dead spots,
that is, make sure the viewing angles of adjacent LEDs overlap at or
just before the artwork.

Dead spots will make the box useless for everything, while poor/no
collimation won't have an effect unless you're really pushing the
boundaries of hobby exposure in my opinion.
