will it work to look and photo very old negatives?
Leonard S
on Jun 8, 2017
BEST ANSWER: HI LEONARD.
THE PRODUCT IS EXCELLENT FOR VIEWING NEGATIVES BUT NOT TO PHOTOGRAPH THEM. THE TYPE OF LIGHT SOURCE (WHATEVER IT IS) CREATES A ROLLING BAR EFFECT WHEN THE SHUTTER IS TRIGGERED, SIMILAR TO THAT WHICH IS SEEN WHEN PHOTOGRAPHING TELEVISION SCREENS.
HOPE THIS HELPS.

It will work with any negative, old or new, as long as you have the proper lens for capturing the image size of the negative you are using. You will most likely need a macro lens or a zoom lens with a macro feature. You may also need a sheet of very thin glass to hold the negative flat during capture.

Can you cut on this without ruining the surface? What is the top made out of?
New User U
on Dec 6, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I wouldn't recommend cutting paper directly on the working surface - you'll cut the surface. If you have a translucent cutting mat that's not too think and will transmit sufficient light it might be possible to cut a sheet or two at at time using light pressure on the knife. I wouldn't try to cut anything more than a couple of sheets at a time, and I wouldn't recommend heavy pressure on the top of the lightbox. of course, YMMV.

It is dimmable, but brightness is not easily repeatable. It cycles through its brightness levels quickly, and you have to take your finger off the non-mechanical switch (I think it's a capacitive-touch sensor) at the exact time when it is at its desired brightness.

Thickness of paper light can shine through for tracing?
A shopper
on Mar 6, 2019
BEST ANSWER: I would say 2-ply thickness is the comfortable maximum - though up to 3-ply is possible; although details of what is being lightboxed will be very hard to see . I'd recommend working on this lightbox in a complete darkened room to optimize transparency, and to make sure that what is being traced is on a thin sheet and in high contrast black and white . a good rule for fidelity and ease is to work on the thinnest media possible.

The thickest paper I've used is 140lb watercolor paper. I can lay the 140lb over the drawing, which by the way is sometimes on paper thicker than tracing or light drawing paper, and there is plenty of light to trace the drawing onto the 140lb watercolor paper..

If I use a clear cutting mat with this, is it strong enough to use with a knife and ruler to cut paper on the surface? Or might it collapse?
Sara D
on Dec 20, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I have the large version of their light box and just looked it. the top surface is 1/16" thick plexiglass, so personally I think you run the risk of potentially marring the surface and depending on how much pressure you apply you may crack it.
By the way plexiglass is not glass its some sort of polycarbonate plastic, so it can be scratched.
You could consider buying a piece of 1/8" clear glass to lay on top and do your cutting on that. Should not cost too much, and glass does not scratch nearly as easy as plexiglass does. Hope this helps:)

The plug on mine measures 4mm OD and appears to be 1.75mm ID. However the barrel is only 9mm length, which is shorter than the normal 12mm length for DC connectors. The 12mm ones do not fully seat in the jack on the light box.

One of my three large light boxes, has a similar issue. If the area above the "on/off" switch is not covered completely by my finger, it does not respond. And, even then, it can be a bit finicky. Seems to happen when my hands are especially dry. Patience and persistence have prevailed. Remember, when the switch is pressed and held, the light intensity will slowly increase from the "off" position to full brightness, or decrease from a brighter state.

Can this be used to weave vinyl?
A shopper
on Nov 30, 2020
BEST ANSWER: It's an excellent durable, flat light source with consistent edge-to-edge color and brightness. The brightness is fully adjustable so it can be adjusted for your requirements for different materials and densities. It is thin so I assume that it could illuminate specific areas of larger pieces with minimal distortion of flexible surfaces. Edge measurements make it easy to maintain consistent sizing and orientation.
It can also be stored vertically to save workspace or illuminate a work area. It's an extremely versatile tool with a precise and distinctive design.

BEST ANSWER: It's an excellent durable, flat light source with consistent edge-to-edge color and brightness. The brightness is fully adjustable so it can be adjusted for your requirements for different materials and densities. It is thin so I assume that it could illuminate specific areas of larger pieces with minimal distortion of flexible surfaces. Edge measurements make it easy to maintain consistent sizing and orientation.

What color temperature is this and what is the color rendering index?
Michael V
on Dec 4, 2016
BEST ANSWER: I don't own an equipment that can analyze color temperature, but by observation, this is bright. daylight white. I gave this to my daughter who uses it in her college design classes to be able to trace onto transparencies from stock pictures which she then scans and then uploads into motion graphics software programs for animation. It saves her a lot of time and is large enough to handle just about any picture.

Lightbox Changed How I Work
The Lightbox was delivered as promised. It is an excellent tool for my use, sorting negatives 115 to 60 years old, prior to scanning. It was like magic the first time I turned it on. I don?t know how I managed all these years without one.

Happy Purchase!!
I am very happy with my purchase. This is a really nice tracing light box. The price is incredible compared to many other units I have researched. I am using this light box for tracing patterns and illustrations for quilting and applique. The light is very bright and I will sometimes put an extra sheet of paper under what I am tracing to dim the light. I will recommend this unit to my friends and I highly recommend this.
