Review on L4S Ultra Thin Powered Adjustable Tracing by Melissa Garcia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great light mat great price

I used to buy two Huion products: both graphics tablets, the first lasted a year but I trusted their new model enough to buy the second one I had a little over a year, so we will see if their products are durable. I'm saying all this because Huion seems to be doing well in the market with very competitive prices, good features and good reviews, enough to trust their other products and that's partly why I chose their light bar over others. So far I have not been disappointed! I've had this lightweight mat since January but I've only been using it daily since Inktober and it's been so helpful! It's slim and doesn't feel cheap, although it's very light. One press turns it on to the highest level, one press turns it off. The only issues are the switch's over-sensitivity (it's very easy to touch and change the setting), and knowing how long to press to change the dimming level takes some patience. It's bright enough to shine through 300lb watercolor paper and Bristol. Paper. The only time the dullness wasn't strong enough was when tracing Bristol paper over Rendr album paper. This is due to the thickness of both papers and the unique quality of Rendr paper. Working in the dark with a light bar as the only light source was a quick fix to this problem. But other than that I don't need it. Overall I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for an affordable light pad that gets the job done.
