BLUF: I recommend this item; it does the job and at a very low price point (~$16 at the time I ordered). It has a decent-sized surface with magnetic stays, three levels of illumination, and is light & easy to use. The biggest drawback is that it's USB (only) powered, so great for a stationary usage, not as useful for use on the go. Detailed review below.POWER: This light tablet uses a USB plug and does not have an internal battery. So don't try plugging it in "to charge" an expecting it will function once unplugged. If you plan on using it on the go, that may be a deal killer, but for me (I use it mainly for viewing negatives & slides) it's pretty much irrelevant. One additional note: I haven't tried it, but other reviewers have commented that if you plug it into a chunk and stick it directly into a wall socket, it will ruin it. I take them at their word & only use the USB on my docking station. Suggest you do likewise. The length of the power cord is roughly 55 inches.BRIGHTNESS: It has three levels of brightness & you can cycle through them by touching the power button. One touch=dimmest mode, touch again to increase, one more touch to brightest mode, fourth touch to turn it off. Works fine & no complaints. There were a couple times that I inadvertently touched the power button (it's very sensitive) resulting in the light going out, but it wasn't that big a deal... I just tapped it again 3 times to bring it back up to full brightness. I haven't noted any variation in brightness across the surface; it seems fairly uniform.LIGHT TABLET SURFACE: The surface seems hard and resilient. I haven't used it as a cutting board or anything, but it seems reasonably durable. It does have a textured surface, so if you plan to use it for tracing, that might be an issue, especially with pencils. For my purposes (examining film negatives), it made no difference. The entire surface is magnetic (not just the edges as some reviews have said) and the tablet comes with four magnetic stays. Very useful for holding items in place. The edges of the lighted area are mark in centimeters and millimeters.DURABILITY: My personal experience regarding this is limited because I only use it at my desk and haven't traveled with it or subjected it to any particularly rough handling. Like everything modern, this is entirely plastic. I wouldn't recommend cutting items on the light surface or pressing down on it with an degree of force, but it seems reasonably durable for office use and travel (packed in an appropriate protective case, which isn't included). I have read other reviews that say they had problems with the plug or the power cord going bad, but I haven't experienced that (I have made a point not to be too rough with that part of it just because of those reviews).

I researched several of these, read a ton of reviews, it was hard to choose. I thought I'd go with the affordable option and if it didn't work out well I'd return it. We're definitely keeping this. Got this for my son for school, they require art work for projects and he can't draw to save his life. This is bright, lightweight, easy to use. The magnets are super handy and strong. I plan on getting more for gifts, great for school or if you like to trace and color. I'm very happy with this product and highly recommend it.

We use this for architectural drawing from research and original blueprints and it is so much better than the old light boards. It's thin thickness makes it ideal for working with rare and old documents and books without minimal strain on their spine or decomposing condition.

Seems like it might be fragile. Super thin and flat, which is great. But, ya. Don’t stack anything on it. I would recommend buying a case. Brightness levels are perfect for different density paper. There is no block, just usb cord. Cord is long. Unit has to stay plugged in while using. I don’t find any of that to be an issue. And the price is outstanding. I left it on the brightest setting for 2 hours checking to see if the unit got hot. The very top edge was slightly warm, nothing unusual for any electric appliance. Entire screen was still cold. I did end up going with a different (higher priced) unit for the option of cordless use but I doubt I’ll need it.

Great brightness, lightweight, and disappointed that the minute you disconnect the charger it does not work. No matter how long you charge it for. If you disconnect charger it is not working. So this should not be listed as portable travel, because it is not. Other then that it’s a great lap, or desk top.

I bought this for my husband. He has always been creative and a good artist. As he aged, his sight isn't as good so I thought this light board might be helpful. He has proven that it works for him. He used it to draw pictures and do some sketches. With the light under his paper, he gets the advantage of seeing his drawing clearly. Even the faintest pencil sketches showed up so he could continue drawing. He found out by laying wax paper on board , to protect it, he could even use his paints. This way he kept board clean and took advantage of the light underneath his drawings. When our grand sons saw it, they loved it to. I think I know what Santa will be bringing.

This is the most affordable lightbox available! And it works perfectly!

This is going to be a Christmas gift for my oldest child so I have only looked but not yet tested this product. First thing I noticed is how well packaged it is and how just about everything is included. Before wrapping I will test this and see how the brightness is. My daughter likes to draw and this will be perfect.

Easy setup, just plug it into a usb port for power and touch the on button to cycle between the 3 brightness levels. Its actually bright enough that I can even trace onto 140 lb watercolor paper which is a game changer for me, that was an unexpected bonus. Well worth the money! (Dark paper in photo is super thick watercolor paper)

Loved using this for weeding my projects. Very bright and for the price you cant go wrong. I thought it was silly to buy an almost $100 dollar cricut light board; so I ended up finding a perfect one for the perfect price right here! * if you have someone helping you weed, it can make it a little difficult cause someone will accidentally turn the light off while weeding lol*

In viewing our family's 35mm transparencies, I was using an inherited light box. This unit provides so much more and at a very reasonable price. The light control is about 1 cm in size and conveniently set on the border. It provides 3 levels of brightness and the spread of illumination is consistent across the whole screen (side to side and top to bottom; no streaks or dim places). The image provided here shows an inkjet graphic printed on 28lb paper with the light set at middle brightness. The two magnets are strong in holding paper to the screen and can be placed anywhere on the border or screen. The top and one side have clear markings numbered in centimetres (and sub-divided into millimetres). Because it is powered through a USB connection, it can be connected to a 120v outlet with a common adapter/wall charger (not supplied) or by plugging into a computer's USB outlet. Lightweight, portable, easily stored, versatile; this is so much better than what I had been using.

Works exactly as I hoped. I use thick 140 lb. watercolour paper and am able to see my draft image beneath to recreate my lines. See picture with 2 sheets of watercolour paper. I don't have any problems/issues that other reviewers had with the power cord or the power button. When you gently touch the power button, it turns on and increases the brightness 3 x's. 4th tap turns it off. The strong magnets are really useful and the cord is plenty long for my work area. Its lightweight and thin making it easy to move around. Very happy I purchased this item at a great price! Highly recommend.

The light box is exactly what I wanted. Came quickly and very light weight. The only strange thing is that the box inside the Amazon box had this gloopy stuff spilled on it that turned out to be apple filling. But that was probably an issue with Amazon's packing not the seller. Maybe a plastic bag over the product box would be a good idea. The sauce didn't touch the product so wasn't a problem just weird and alittle gross but also funny.
