Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've used a traditional flourescent light box for years. I wanted one that was flatter, rather than elevated above the work surface. I use this for stained glass work, traditional glass painting, and other crafts, and the elevated profile of other light boxes can make it difficult to work with. This fit my need exactly, and at a great price! The product itself is beautiful, and is less than a 1/4" off the work surface. The light is adjustable--just press on the power button until it is the brightness you need. I found that it will get just as bright as my older light box if I need it, but being able to turn it down is great for some applications. The screen reminds me of my Kindle Paperwhite. It has a similar look and texture, and with the adjustable brightness, seems very similar when they are both turned up to the brightest level. I haven't tried powering it from my computer, but I did use a regular USB power plug to power it. (The product comes with a USB cable but not the USB wall adapter. That's listed in the description, but is worth noting. You'll need a plug adapter if you don't plan on using it with your computer.) I should also mention that the product is extremely light. That means it is easy to move around or take with you if you are working outside your studio. A great bonus. For the price, this is one of the best products I've bought on Amazon.
