Review on ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ A4 Portable LED Light Box Trace: LITENERGY Light Pad USB Power LED Artcraft Tracing Light Table for Artists, Drawing, Sketching, and Animation by Kendrick Dooley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great for slide shows

My trusty old Logan lightbox got knocked and broke. Rather than spend a lot of money to replace it I decided to try one of the LED tracing boxes that I had advertised so much on Revain. Bought one for $15 but it had clear glass (plastic) and the LED matrix was visible in every detail. Terrible for viewing slides so I sent it back. But this one is definitely a Guardian! The glass is translucent white and I can't see the individual LEDs at all, even at maximum brightness. The color is a bit colder than ideal, but for details like that I can check the image after scanning and adjust it on the computer. This light box is quite bright and has a stepless dimmer. It's thin, light and very easy to use. Slides and negs can be seen very well on it. The light is even and evenly distributed. So for a few bucks I got a useful lightbox that costs a fraction of one of the big slideshow clunkers. I can't say how long it will last, but it looks solid enough. Plugs into computer USB port and I think but not sure it will work with my phone charger. I'm so pleased with this device that it's the first time I've included photos in a review. The first two are when the device is powered on. The light is actually a bit brighter, but I used fill flash to take the photos. The third photo is with the block off. The lightbox came without a stand or legs, which would have been nice. And for viewing slides, it would be useful to use a sliding edge for the bottom rim so the slides don't slide off when the box is tilted. But these are secondary points. I am very satisfied with this product. Provided it lasts for some time, this is a lot. Definitely recommended for viewing slides and negs.
