Review on πŸ–₯️ Adjustable USB Power Portable A4 Tracing LED Copy Board Light Box - Ultra-Thin Artcraft LED Trace Light Pad by Daniel Ogbebor

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Only good for the price, opportunity missed

Only ok for the price. Does what it's supposed to do, so it gets at least 3 stars. After that, however, I couldn't find anything that would mark it as a "good buy". In particular, it lacks 2 features that would make it worthy of its price tag. First, there really needs to be a way to pin your documents in a lightbox. They offer paperclips that really aren't up to the task. A clear glass or acrylic lid, a snap frame lid, magnets or perhaps retractable louvers - there are many ways to do this. In the end, it's up to you to find your own solution. I'll probably use very soft tape. Additionally, it could easily use some rechargeable batteries without sacrificing the subtlety of the design. This consumes only 0.25 to 3.15 watts at 5 volts in operation. A battery with a capacity of one ampere hour lasts between 90 minutes and 20 hours, depending on the brightness. They could make this light box just an inch wider and the same thickness, and they could fit half a dozen 602626 lithium cells into that space to provide about 9 watt hours. It will last from 3 to 36 hours of work without charging. The lightbox is easy enough to use - there's a single button that turns the device on and off, or you can hold it down to adjust the brightness. There is a power LED but they put it on the back of the device which doesn't make any sense. You can't see it lit from the front, so not very useful - you have to turn the device over to see if there's power. for practical or demonstration purposes, and some paper clips. Without key features like this, I really don't see how they justify the cost. It's made from very inexpensive components and isn't difficult to manufacture, so a fair price tag would be around $15. If you can't find anything else at a better price or with better features, that's fine, but it's certainly not exciting and wouldn't be my first choice for a lightbox.
