HSK A2 Artist tracing Light Box Copy Table 12V2A Adapter Dimmerable 5000 Lux Lock/Unlock Button Artcraft Light Pad for Tatto Drawing, Sketching, Animation,Diamond Painting

HSK so far in my opinion is the best lightpad for it's price. Priced about the same as the artdot loghtpad but much better quality. Thicker and heavier duty it lights up from all around and not just the bottom. Adjustable intensity with the ability to lock the buttons so you don't activate them by mistake. I bought the A1 to replace my A2 which I gave to my sister and my nephew uses an A3. I can say HSK is the only lightpad I'd be interested in ordering.

This Light Box is great on all fronts. The adjustable light setting has like 4 levels and with the highest level I think I can probably get a nice facial tan while I am doing work. Very bright! The image quality is off the chain good; I mean really good. As far as functionality goes, the board is easy to operate, easy to set-up, and seems durable. I have only had it a week so time will tell in regards to durability. It is definitely light weight and easy to transport and move around while I am working. I actually don't have any complaints in regards to the light box and I am glad I got it. It is the best light board I have used and definitely the brightest. I would whole heartedly recommend it !

This reveiw is for the B4 size. Perfect size I need to make photos of some awkward sized 9x12 inch 35mm contact sheets. Comes with USB cable, protective sleeve, no wall wart. WARNING: Consult the sheet that comes with your device and if you use a wall wart be absolutely certain you are using the correct REGULATED voltage, positive tip. UNregulated wall warts can deliver much more voltage than printed on their label and damage the device. The B4 device uses 5V, the A3 and larger sizes use 12 or 24V (and the sheets says they come with a power supply.) The B4 device does not get warm during use; if it does you may be using the wrong power supply and in danger of blowing it out. Illumination is very uniform. The sheet says the B4 size is 500 LM, that seems a stretch, but it is bright enough to make good copies of transparencies in a dark room, and do tracing. Color temp is neutral and color rendition is fine. Basically this device seems to be a laptop backlight without the laptop.The only weak point is tha there is no strain relief on the power cable where it emerges from the frame. To help with this I have taped the cable to the side of the frame to keep it from dangling back and forth while I use it. I've only had it a couple weeks, I'll edit this review if it has any longevity issues.

So far, it’s worked flawlessly. For those asking about brightness adjustment. It has 4 light brightness settings. Very good. It’s only about 3/8” thick so handle with care until it on a flat surface. This feature also allows for storage in tight places. For me that is a huge plus. I bought the 24” x 36”size. for large sketching paper it works great. Don’t hesitate. It’s worth the money.

Executive Summary (TL;DR):For $20 USD, this is a pretty killer deal if you need a light box: it is very slim and lightweight, the metal frame is quite sturdy, the light is bright and adjustable, and you can power it using using regular wall AC or USB power brick.Details:These are my very early impressions having used the light table for about a week, so they may change over time. If they do, I'll post an update.I bought this for tracing: I have photos that I would like to turn into pen and watercolor paintings. It is easy in Adobe Photoshop to open an image, duplicate the image layer, apply the Find Edges filter, then add a Black and White adjustment layer to get a very usable line tracing from the image. Add a Curves adjustment layer to dial in contrast. Voila! a printable line drawing from an image.Thing is, I'm a complete noob at this and my pen and ink skills are still a bit shaky (I was going to say sketchy...). I'm using the light board to trace the more technical parts of the drawing. So far, I've been pretty pleased with the results.Here are the things that I really like about this:- as others have said, the light is quite bright and it is adjustable- it is very slim, lightweight, and easily portable- the version I bought came with a longish power cable and a power adapter, which I appreciate- the two plastic clips don't feel very sturdy, but they work well holding an image and tracing paper to the board- it is possible to "lock" the on/off and light adjustment / dimmer buttons, which are exquisitely sensitive to touch and easy to inadvertently activate (they should have been placed along the top where the user is less likely to brush up against them) - press the Up and Down dimmer buttons at the same time and hold for 3 seconds - the light will blink and the buttons will be locked - do this again to unlock the buttons- it comes with a very lightweight non-woven bag with a carrying handle - it's nothing I would use for transport, but it can be used as a dust cover- you can power it using the USB adapter or just plug it into a USB power brick - I like the flexibilityI will say that if you are using 300 gsm / 140 lb paper - especially cold pressed paper with significant texture - it can be a bit challenging to see detail even at the highest light intensity. I'm guessing that slightly lighter paper (100 lb) with a smooth surface like hot press might work a bit better. You'll definitely want to experiment a bit.I would also say that if you were planning to throw this in a backpack or book bag, you might want to invest in some type of sleeve or carrying case to keep all of the bits and bobs together and keep the screen from getting scratched up.Recommendations:Preliminarily, I can recommend this without hesitation: If you're looking for an inexpensive, reasonably sturdy and bright light box, this is definitely worth considering.

This item is almost perfect. It is thin and lightweight and easy to transport with the handy carrying sleeve. The controls are conveniently located and intuitive to use. Setup is easy. You just plug the connector into the AC adapter then into an outlet. There are multiple brightness settings. Unfortunately the harsh blue LED's put too much of a strain on my eyes and I will be returning it. What would make this gadget truly perfect would be to add a light temperature setting. A more yellow light would appear brighter and be less strain on the eyes. Also, a hanging wire on the back of the light would be convenient for those wishing to trace while standing. Other than the light temperature issue, this was exactly what I was looking for. Just another suggestion to buyers. Find the size that you think will be perfect, and then order the next larger size. You will be glad you did.
