Lightmaster 12V Lightpad - Visual Area Size: 12 in. x 17 in. (A3)

Love it. Nice and bright and easily adjustable with dimming. Thin, light weight

I shopped around quite a bit looking for a "light box" as I was tired of drawing free-hand before painting. I'm very old-school, don't use gadgets for my artwork, just my hands, pen, pencil paint and brushes. I really just want to paint these days, not into drawing right now, and free-hand drawing is tedious and stressful at times which discourages me from painting at all. I looked at some light boxes at local stores and they were either too small, too boxy and/or priced too high. I have never used a light box so have nothing to compare it to, but this thing has met my needs and expectations! Its a nice and big lighted surface, super slim, the light is really bright. It will shine through 140 lb. watercolor paper which makes it super easy for me to draw my basic outlines before painting. I am cranking out the paintings sometimes at a rate of one completed painting per day! This thing has been a total game changer for my artwork, and well worth the price. When I wear this one out, I won't hesitate to buy another. LOVE IT!

I bought this to use for making fabric applique pieces in quilt projects. I looked a long time for something large enough for my needs and for a reasonable price. Finally I came across this one, loved the reviews it had, and decided to make the purchase. I am very glad I did. It's easy to use, a beautiful light table with excellent light. It has a large surface, so any size piece you need to work with (or lots of smaller pieces) are accommodated on its surface. My only problem was it was supposed to come with a protective bag for storage, and it did not. So I made one, and now all is well. Hardly a thing to worry about. If you need a light table, you ought to get this one-or you can pay six prices for one that may or may not be as high quality. I'd buy this one again in a heartbeat.

The lighted surface of my 12” x 17” light box is actually 17 1/4” x 12 1/2”, surrounded by a 1 1/8” black frame. I like that the entire surface is the same level, no edges for the frame, so my papers always lay flat. Very thin because it plugs into my power source instead of using a battery. Nice & bright. I don’t see the tiny details clearly when I use my heavy Bristol vellum paper (probably could have 30 years ago!) , but I am able to transfer the design to my satisfaction. So far, I am very happy with this light pad.

The light box works perfectly. I knocked the rating down a star due to the terrible way it was shipped! Instead of being packed in a box with additional padding, the shipping label was slapped on the product box itself. The box was crushed and torn when delivered. I had to fully inspect and test it before I decided to keep it! Please fix this!! Also, finding a bag to store it in (since I can’t use the box) was tricky, but finally found one through Shabby Fabrics Quilt Shop.
