A3 Magnetic Light Pad - Portable Tracing Light Box for Drawing - Professional Light Table with 4 Magnets, 0.27“ Ultra-Thin Light Board with a Matching Bag & USB Cable for Diamond Painting, X-ray View

This is a fantastic little light table. I own a really large, heavy handmade wooden light table- but I’ve often wanted to be able to paint at my desk while tracing my drawings. I’m a painter, my process often involves making a base drawing and then laying watercolor paper on top, and painting without those lines being present. What’s often hard for me with light tables is that the amount of brightness that you need will vary depending on the level of detail you want to capture, or even the type of paper. If you’re painting over a sketch, depending on the type of paint you use, sometimes you need to be able to see what a painting is actually looking like without the light. Especially in the case of goache, where the thickness of the paint will not have a lot of impact on the visual effect because it’s opaque and matte, but when using the light table, the thickness shines through. See pics for examples of this. This light table fabulously solves all of these issues at once. There’s a big power button that you can press to have the light instantly turn off- useful when checking your work to see how it’s coming. You can also press and hold the power button to adjust the brightness level needed. The low setting is quite low, would be great for tracing paper but can still capture detail on 300lb Bristol. I also tested the various levels with Stonehenge paper, and several varieties of rough cold press watercolor paper- including Arches, which I’ve had issues tracing with in the past. All work fabulously. This is the brightest light table I’ve worked with, and I’ve worked at an animation lab. I included a couple close up shots of the brightest setting and the lowest setting through printer paper and Canson Bristol, so you can get an idea of the level of detail possible to see through this table. I’m really excited to continue using it! Also included a picture of the light table next to my iPad Pro 1st gen to give fellow artists a sense of the scale. Great for 8.5x11 printer paper as well as 9x12 specialty art papers. I like to tape down my work for extra security, but this light table did come with four magnets for clamping the paper down. I was surprised at how secure they are, but I haven’t attempted to use just the magnets to hold down my papers yet... I think they would do just fine, but old habits die hard. Would absolutely recommend for painters, designers, animators, anyone who works from digital to traditional.

Fast shipping. Arrived before expected delivery time. In the box is the light pad with a carry bag, USB power adapter, USB C cable and the magnetic clips to hold the paper in place. Its very lightweight and doesn't look like is cheap made. The adjustable light is really a good feature. After is on u can press and hold the power button to go from low brightness to high brightness. Depending on the thickness of the paper used and the room lightning conditions it can be adjusted accordingly and not affect ur eyes after a longer period of use. The light is evenly spread all over the light pad and there is no dark spots or dark corners. The magnets have good strength and hold the paper in place no problem. Me personally I use it with a battery pack so I won’t be tie down to an power outlet. The carrying bag it's a nice addition but I think it should be better made. It could include a zipper or some velcro straps on the top to make it more secure and protect the light pad. Whenever I put the magnets inside the bag Im afraid of losing them. I had couple of velcro squares at home and attached on the bag ( see the picture) and it's way better and more secure. Other than that is a very well made light pad. Happy with my purchase and would recommend.

This light pad exceeds all my expectations. It is light weight with some texture which makes it easy to hold unlike others that are so smooth they are slippery which makes it easy to drop or slide out of my hands. The texture of the screen is smooth, easy to trace or sketch on. The light is perfect. I can see what I need to if I dim the light to lowest setting. If I choose brightest setting I have no issues with eye sensitivity. I had seen in other reviews they wished it came with 4 magnets. I believe two is sufficient but the company obviously cares what we the consumer wants as mine came with four magnets. This makes them #1 in my book. Not many companies seem to care let alone give the customer what they believe will improve the product. There is a ruler on two sides of screen. The numbers are easy to read and I find this to be very helpful. I will use this light pad on a regular basis. I do own another light pad which has none of the qualities this one has. The other one I have used only a couple of times as it is slippery and uncomfortable to work with. I definitely recommend this light pad to anyone looking for exceptional quality, it does everything the manufacturer promises it will do and the price is very affordable. I believe it is worth every penny and more.

It's nice and bright, you can see through the sheet fairly clearly when it's on full power, it's light weight, and easy to use. Only issue is the battery. When I saw the pad and cord, I was expecting a chargeable device. But the "charger" I recieved was only a cord, and the device does not work without it. With the cord being built pretty much the exact way same as a charger, I'm worried that I might end up breaking it one day, and though the cord does have a decent length, I question if it's long enough for the user to be comfortablely hooked up to 24/7. That being said, I don't think the product had ever claimed to be chargeable, so I suppose if this disappoints me, it would be more my fault than theirs.

Amazing light box! I’m an artist and also an art teacher! I have used many tracing boxes in the past to draw my sketches on my nice watercolor paper. My students also use this tracing boxed for their own art work during my lessons. After using many other ones I found that this is the brightest one I ever used. Which is for me the the most important aspect to consider while buying a tracing box. Normally I have to close my widows during day time or turn of the lights so I can have a better definition on the piece I need to trace. With this box there is no need for that!!! You can use it in the middle of the day or with your light on and you can see your reference image very very clearly. I love that it includes a couple of magnets to keep your paper stable. It is light while feeling sturdy at the same time which it is important to me because it is safe in the hands of my youngest students!

This is very nice! It’s light weight and looks pretty stylish/modern to boot! I could see a multitude of uses already. I’ve had these nice “stained glass coloring book “ for years that I just wanted to trace before coloring and this does the trick perfectly. I could also see using this on some embroidery patterns to copy on to my fabric- it’s bright enough I could use it on a tea towel. I could also use this for other pattern making with crafts and reviewing different revisions on floor/architects plans at work. Such a great value, and it was basically plug and play- I plugged it into my regular iPhone charger block and pressed the power button. That was it, super easy. I left it on constantly for a good 35 minutes and it did not get warm at all, and the light never once flickered. I also love the little magnets that hold your picture in place, just in case you get bumped. I would totally recommend this one!

At any price point, if you're looking for a thin, lightweight, and effective light pad- look NO further. This light pad has a matte paper finish to it, and comes with 4 little magnets to hold your work down to prevent slipping and sliding (an issue i've had with previous light pads). The on/off button works flawlessly. I was a little confused as to how the dimming feature worked but after playing with it for a couple minutes I learned that to dim the pad, all you have to do is hold your finger on the on/off switch and you'll notice it gradually dimming or brightening. Additionally, if you find a setting you enjoy, the pad will automatically resume that brightness when turned back on (essentially picking up where you left off). The brightest setting works on thick cardstock, water color paper, and bristol paper. This a solid 11/10 for me.

This light box was exactly what my craft making daughter wanted. It is easy to set up, just plug into the box and your computer and it is ready to go. The full size sheet of paper fits nicely onto the lightbox and the magnets are powerful enough to hold the paper in place even with a young child squirming on your lap trying to help you trace that intricate drawing. We also allowed my heavy handed 4 year old grandchild try it out. It was leaned on and dropped repeatedly and no breaks or cracks. Not mentioned in the ad but a definite plus, is that one does not need a computer for this lightbox. It will plug into any USB power source and away you go. Also my daughter can not rave about the cardboard box the lightbox arrived in, it is extremely sturdy and makes transporting and storing very easy.

Une belle grandeur bien éclairé 3 intensités👍

It was not as sturdy as I expected when it was raised. Especially when some pressure was applied.

I fully charged this light pad and it only stays on for a few seconds before turning off. I connect it to a power bank and it flashes every few minutes. I don't know what the stupid thing's problem is.
