Review on 📦 HUION LB4 Light Box - Wireless Battery-Powered Ultra-Thin Portable A4 Size LED Light (12.6x9 inch) by Doug Cardello

I'm not sure how long Huion has been selling battery powered light strips, but this is one of the best purchases I've made for creating my artwork (and I wish I had). a long time ago) for a long time). This is a fairly simple device, so the instructions are just a few short paragraphs with a detailed diagram of the light panel. I don't think the instructions should be longer, but there are certainly a few ways to be clearer. Example: Since the battery initially needed charging, it took me two tries to figure out which way to flip the switch to get a charge - this is easily fixed with a small sticker or icon. Otherwise, the on/off/battery and light intensity controls when charging were fairly intuitive. Before purchasing this light mat, I used natural light from my window to support my work. Not only was it uncomfortable to stand and draw by the window, I could only work outside in bright light. Why didn't I buy a lightbox sooner? I didn't want to deal with a huge, heavy, unwieldy animal, and I didn't dare make a costly mistake. I'd rather not than spend money on some shit. I've been using my light mat for almost two weeks. I love so much about my light pillow. I can sit comfortably on my couch or in the middle of the coffee shop with a light pad on my lap while I paint without the hassle of a cord. I can rotate the panel for convenience depending on what I'm working on, and it's easy to turn it on when I need it for tracing and wrapping and turn it off when I'm drawing. The lighting is even, and the ability to adjust the intensity of the light has proven very useful as I often switch between carbon to carbon, Bristol to carbon, and then Bristol to Bristol during the same painting session. It fits in my backpack and is very light so I can take it and my laptop with me when I'm working on comics or sketching with friends or going to a coffee shop. And I like being able to power it from my computer or an outlet. A minor annoyance is that when it's on and I'm at work, I accidentally touch the touch power with my left hand and turn off the lightbar. (I'm right-handed, but a left-hander mentioned the same problem). I suspect it's just a matter of experimenting to see how I can avoid touching the power button. Or maybe it will just happen. For me it was a great decision that paid off. I wouldn't hesitate to buy it again.
