A4 Light Board Portable Tracing Light Box Magnetic Drawing Board Light Drawing Board Light Box For Tracing Sketch Pad Light Drawing Pad Light Table Cricut Light Pad Light Tablet For Tracing, Sketching

Nice quality light board. 3 different brightness settings and works perfectly with my son’s sensory letters/numbers

BLUF: I recommend this item; it does the job and at a very low price point (~$16 at the time I ordered). It has a decent-sized surface with magnetic stays, three levels of illumination, and is light & easy to use. The biggest drawback is that it's USB (only) powered, so great for a stationary usage, not as useful for use on the go. Detailed review below.POWER: This light tablet uses a USB plug and does not have an internal battery. So don't try plugging it in "to charge" an expecting it will function once unplugged. If you plan on using it on the go, that may be a deal killer, but for me (I use it mainly for viewing negatives & slides) it's pretty much irrelevant. One additional note: I haven't tried it, but other reviewers have commented that if you plug it into a chunk and stick it directly into a wall socket, it will ruin it. I take them at their word & only use the USB on my docking station. Suggest you do likewise. The length of the power cord is roughly 55 inches.BRIGHTNESS: It has three levels of brightness & you can cycle through them by touching the power button. One touch=dimmest mode, touch again to increase, one more touch to brightest mode, fourth touch to turn it off. Works fine & no complaints. There were a couple times that I inadvertently touched the power button (it's very sensitive) resulting in the light going out, but it wasn't that big a deal... I just tapped it again 3 times to bring it back up to full brightness. I haven't noted any variation in brightness across the surface; it seems fairly uniform.LIGHT TABLET SURFACE: The surface seems hard and resilient. I haven't used it as a cutting board or anything, but it seems reasonably durable. It does have a textured surface, so if you plan to use it for tracing, that might be an issue, especially with pencils. For my purposes (examining film negatives), it made no difference. The entire surface is magnetic (not just the edges as some reviews have said) and the tablet comes with four magnetic stays. Very useful for holding items in place. The edges of the lighted area are mark in centimeters and millimeters.DURABILITY: My personal experience regarding this is limited because I only use it at my desk and haven't traveled with it or subjected it to any particularly rough handling. Like everything modern, this is entirely plastic. I wouldn't recommend cutting items on the light surface or pressing down on it with an degree of force, but it seems reasonably durable for office use and travel (packed in an appropriate protective case, which isn't included). I have read other reviews that say they had problems with the plug or the power cord going bad, but I haven't experienced that (I have made a point not to be too rough with that part of it just because of those reviews).

This product is lightweight and bright with a nicely built and finished product in hand. It would be good to have a battery integrated for short portability in the future.

For $15.99, it is more full featured than others because it is magnetic along the top and bottom edges, along with four pins with neodymium magnets. Granted, the magnetic force is relatively weak. But it still provides more value than other brands at the $20 and under price.It is also plenty bright - I used four sheets of printer paper and it is still bright enough to shine through. I did not go beyond the four sheets.Easy 5 stars.

In viewing our family's 35mm transparencies, I was using an inherited light box. This unit provides so much more and at a very reasonable price. The light control is about 1 cm in size and conveniently set on the border. It provides 3 levels of brightness and the spread of illumination is consistent across the whole screen (side to side and top to bottom; no streaks or dim places). The image provided here shows an inkjet graphic printed on 28lb paper with the light set at middle brightness. The two magnets are strong in holding paper to the screen and can be placed anywhere on the border or screen. The top and one side have clear markings numbered in centimetres (and sub-divided into millimetres). Because it is powered through a USB connection, it can be connected to a 120v outlet with a common adapter/wall charger (not supplied) or by plugging into a computer's USB outlet. Lightweight, portable, easily stored, versatile; this is so much better than what I had been using.
