I was wondering if there is a software/instrument to make a profile for
a viewing environment like a light box.

there is.

does Adobe "Light Room" do it? A Light room is a viewing environment ...

Lightroom is not a “viewing environment”, your “viewing
environment”
is the room with whatever lighting is being used in that room, together
with
your display/monito, and whatever software you are using to facilitate
viewing your images. That might well be Lightroom, but that viewing is done
on whichever display/monitor you are using. Ideally you are using a
calibrated display/monitor. That calibration should be done using one of
the
tools available from Datacolor, or X-Rite such as the Spyder5Pro, X-Rite
ColorMunki display, X-Rite i1Display Pro, X-Rite i1Studio
Spectrophotometer,
or any of the tools they offer.

After display/monitor calibration those tools, and software can generate an
icc profile for the display/monitor, and room lighting which can be applied
via Lightroom, for viewing images under that specific lighting. Some of
these
calibration tools also hgave the capability to adjust calibration according
to changing light in that room.

Then you have the issue of generating printer/paper icc profiles for
printing, which are quite different to display/monitor calibration
profiles.

might be a nice feature for Lightroom ... compatible with some
measurement instruments ... and data like viewing angle, white point, etc.


Those tools have nothing to do with Lightroom, other than generating icc
profiles which can be use with Lightroom, printers, projectors, etc. The
important issue is having your display/monitor properly calibrated when used
under the ambient light in whatever room you use for editing. Without that
calibration any attempt at color management, regardless of icc profile you
might have available, will be unsuccessful.

...and then there is your camera, and whatever light conditions, or
artificial light you might find yourself shooting under.


there is a difference between managing color and managing appearance,
look up CIECAM02 on wikipedia

viewing environment like a light room is one variable in appearance

I think ICC considers CIECAM02
