Artograph Thin LED Light Box, 12" x 9" Dimmable Drawing & Tracing Pad, LightPad 930 LX

this is a very good light box. it is lighter than many, but still not as light as i would like... ie, with thick paper it doesn't work so well. the service provided by the suppliers (who are in the States) was outstanding.

Les photos de présentation du produit laisse penser qu'il est autonome, ce qui n'est pas le cas (dommage) il ne fonctionne que branché sur secteur, ce qui ne le rend pas nomade. Pour ma part je remarque une petite défaillance, les LED sur la partie supérieures ont une faiblesse et forment un halo jaunâtre, ce qui dans l'absolu ne pose pas de problème vu que la surface lumineuse est assez grande pour traiter mes négatifs … mais vu le prix, ça aurait dû être parfait. Je renverrai ce produit si cela devait s'aggraver d'ici la fin de la garanti.

Love this! Wanted it for ages. Use it for tracing photos that I want to paint; sometimes adding bits from several pictures. It was very awkward trying to do that by taping the picture with tracing paper over it on a window. This is nice and flat and lightweight with adjustable brightness. Simple to use. Comes with everything and ready to go. Very, very happy with this purchase!

I bought this primarily for building a film negative "scanner" using my Sony A65V digital camera for digitizing old film negatives. The camera will be held above the light box pointing straight down from a home-built wooden frame that will stand next to this light box. I also purchased two sheets of optically clear acrylic, one square foot each with one sheet being 1/4" thick and the second sheet being 1/8" thick from McMaster-Carr (stock number 8560K354 and 8560K239 respectively) along with a "Super-soft Silicone Rubber 1/32" Thick, 1/2" Width, 10' Length, 30a Durometer" strip (stock number 8622K51). I'll apply the silicone rubber strip along the perimeter of the light box then set the 1/4" acrylic sheet on top to protect the light box surface from scratches and damage. A film negative will then be placed on top of the 1/4" acrylic sheet and then the 1/8" acrylic sheet will be placed on top of the film to keep it flat. I'll post my results here after I've completed the project. Now I'll comment on the light bed. As the other reviewers have said it is a nice even lighting across the entire work area - critical for photography. It seems to be a natural "cool" white rather than a "warm" white but have no idea what the color temperature is since it is not specified. But comparing it to two types of LED flood lights in our home it seems to be very close to the cool white which does not have the warm yellowish tinge. Should be good for true color reproduction in my photographs. It is bright but that's a relative term - obviously it not bright like the 11 Watt LED flood lights in our kitchen - but it is MUCH brighter than the brightness of a good LED monitor showing an all-white screen. It is nice and thin but yet feels very sturdy. So far I have no complaints and I'll follow this up once I've had my photography setup finished and have evaluated the results.

Garbage. Broke less than a year and seller refuses to reply to any communications, both Email and Phone. Don't buy from these guys.

I switched to this after 10+ years with one of the giant triangular light boxes, and it's been great. The button does have a light touch, but so far I haven't accidentally turned it off. It's sufficiently bright to transfer inked or heavily pencilled line art from printer paper to 140lb watercolor paper, and it hasn't hurt my eyes so far. I do get a little nervous pressing too hard, as it goes dim around your hand when you press on it, but it hasn't been permanently damaged after 3 months of not being very careful. This isn't a problem with pens (the effect doesn't happen until you're pressing hard enough to rapidly damage your nib, so unless you have to replace your nib constantly, it won't affect the board), but rather with the hand you're not using, if you rest it on the lightboard. I took other peoples' issues with the power cord into account, and I've taped the cord down. I don't remove it and I don't let it wiggle. This is mildly annoying, but it's much less annoying than a nonfunctioning port. I researched a lot of boards, and all of them in this price range had the same issue, so I have to say that dealing with a taped-on cord is 100% worth the $100+ savings, especially since there's plenty of bezel around the lighboard to tape it to without affecting your art surface. I'll update this review if the cord fails.
