A4 Ultra-Thin Portable LED tracing Light Box Dimmable Brightness LED Art Tracing Pad for Artist Drawing Sketching Animation Stencilling and 5d Diamond Painting (Black, A4)

So, first off, let me state that I am by no means a professional artist, but a hobbyist that dabbles enough to want to reproduce sketches easily for other projects without redrawing them, or using the awkward window approach to tracing. That being said, while I know you get what you pay for, I couldn't quite justify spending $50-100+ dollars on something I wasn't yet sure how frequently I would use it.Enter the A4 Ultra-thin Portable LED Light Box. I have to say, despite it's lightweight design, and seemingly low frills construction, this lightbox produced better light than I anticipated. For example, I have included a photo showing a light pencil sketch readily visible beneath Arches 140lb cold pressed watercolor paper. I have also been able to easily see drawings and sketches through 100lb bristol board and 90lb sketch paper.That's good enough for my needs by far, and it is much easier to trace on my desk, and I have found I don't even need to remove the pages from my sketch pad (I mostly use spiral bounds) to trace since the light box is so thin.I can't attest for the durability, as I have only had it a month, but I think if it lasts me at least a year, I have figured out the benefits of a lightbox and can decide if I need a more robust purchase in the future.The only 'negative' I can say at this point is that the power button is a little sensitive, and I have accidentally turned it off a couple times when I brushed it while tracing. A pretty small issue in my book.One final note, I somehow lost the included cord pretty quickly, but was able to just use one of the many micro-usb cords I had lying around from an old phone and it worked no problem.Overall, an economically and fully functional addition to my art supplies.

So pleased with the A4 Ultra-Thin Portable LED tracing Light Box. I like the dimmable Brightness LED. I use it to trace stencils onto no-melt mylar & double sided pellon for applique's. I works great! It's very lightweight!

I got this lightboard for artwork while it was on sale for around $27- and I absolutely love it. It shipped swiftly, and arrived in a wonderful box with foam end protectors that I have kept to store it in between uses.There are some previous review issues I'd like to clarify;* The brightness is amazing! I have been able to trace through legalpad yellow paper underneath 110lb cardstock and 140lb watercolor paper (shown in the image is 90lb watercolor paper). For the best drawing results, I reccomend printing out a sketch, for computer ink shows through with spectacular results.* The brightness button is NOT as sensitive as people say. I wonder if they are trying to shove it, like a tactile button, which causes it to register touch for longer. As long as you gently touch it, like a smartphone screen, it is simple to control.* I have NOT had the issue with turning it on or off by simply 'grazing' the button during use. It won't turn off at random unless you slam the button or unplug it.* While it does not come with a USB plug adapter, the chord is several feet long and able to be used on my computer desk, with the USB end plugged into my desktop. There is more than enough room for it to comfortably reach. And if you want a plug, if you have an Android phone plug adapter, that will work.* I have had no problems with where the small end plugs into the box. I am sad some got a defective model where it fell out right away, but my connection has been consistent every time.All in all, this board is a wonderful, portable size for smaller traditional artwork. It is easy to store, not a pain to look at, and a wonderful deal for the price I got it. Absolutely reccomended for artists!

This is coming from someone who has a 40-lb old-school lightbox on their desk.This lightbox is basically a mesh of white LEDs in an ultra-lightweight acrylic frame. It has 3 brightness settings. I will call the 3 brightness settings "low," "medium," and "high." Low is more than sufficient if you're trying to trace inks or dark pencil lines. Medium and High work well for everything else that might be more faint, such as sketchier pencil lines. If you turn on your lightbox without anything to trace, you'll notice the mesh holding the LEDs in place. Don't worry: this isn't distracting at all. Once you have your media on top of the lightbox, the light is diffused and you don't notice the grid at all.It DOES require a power source, so I'd argue that it's not as "portable" as the title might lead you to believe, and for that I give it 4 stars. I already knew that going into my purchase, though. It's "portable" in the sense that it's incredibly lightweight and can be stowed in a backpack or shoulderbag easily, but without a power source there's no point. Still, it's stupidly cheap and it works well. You can use the money you save, to buy a power bank that can be used for the light box and a host of other things. You can keep it portable by using the power bank, like what you might use to charge your phone on the go. I have a handful of Anker power banks that do well for me.It's powered via a micro-USB cable (light box side) with a standard USB at the other end, so it's super easy to just plug it into an existing wall charger, or your computer, or basically anything with a USB spot.I'm including some pictures of it off, and on. I took photos of all three settings but my camera auto-adjusted to the brightness so they all look the same, lol.
