I personally own a Wafer 1 (A4 size) lighttbox and a Copic ComicMaster A3 sized lightbox. The Wafer lightbox i realy love and i can realy recommend, the Copic lightbox on the other hand i'm realy disappointed about, it's clumsy, it does'nt have a feature to adjust the brightness, the surface is super slippery so you just have to use drafting tape and some other minor downpoints. The Wafer has basically all the features the one you are reviewing has, it just does'nt feature a stand or bag but since it's just a small A4 sized lightbox that realy is'nt that necesarry, great review as always and you were as entertaining as i got standard by from you ^_^
Dear Rix, I have jerry-rigged my own lightpad with an old refrigerator shelf and some ledlights and duct tape, I have no doubt that it probably contravenes safety standards is problematic with hot spots, overheats, but it produces light. I would like to find something that has the characters of light evenness, light brightness and is not so bulky as to limit your hand in gestural movements. My preference is for larger sizes. But I am unsure what to purchase that will give a decent result of actually producing enough light in low light conditions without having to put the room in darkness. I purchased a Huon a couple years ago and hardly used it then took it out and the light production was terrible. And literally the whole room had to be in darkness whilst I worked. An alternative is to go all in and even use LED floodlights ? My question is if you have ever tried this ? Or what could you recommend as a really good lightpad (meeting the 3 characters I have numbered above). I can always put up a video to show Frank (short for Frankenstein)the lightbox
To build my own lightbox? Never tried. And you are doing this because...you want a larger one? If I was doing something like this, I'd be using led strips in a shallow box the size I want and dropping a frosted plexi on it and controlling with potentiometer.
@@RixCanDoit I made my own because 1. I want a larger one 2. The cost of American goods is pretty expensive and unavailable locally and 3. I am writing larger texts (paragraphs of calligraphy, think St. John's Bible). Its LED lights I am using but it does not always sit so flush to a surface, so it reduces my whole arm movement(which is the movement I tended to practice), my practice was more arm rather than finger so was looking for a lightbox that would be relatively low but with good light output so I could keep the muscle memory from my earlier practice.
I saw this tablet on Amazon, and it was shown with the ability to connect it to a computer. Do you know anything about that? Can an image from the computer be projected through the tablet? If not, why connect it to a computer?
Do you know what kind of cable that is? Like the string with the tiny circle end and the USB charger end. My light box came without one, and there isn’t even a manual 😭
Hmm. I never tried that, but that does sound like a solid idea. My only concern might be the picker point poking the pad and scratching it. That would not be a happy day.
I must tried the link. It works okay if you copy it and paste it into your browser. I'll add the http to it so it will be clickable. BTW, the bag comes with the unit.
@@chrisnortcliffe3663 You won't be doing any shading using the light pad. You only use it to lightly draw the outline of all the details. Shading and blending is the 'drawing' part you will do from there. Watch all the drawing videos to learn tips on shading and blending.
this review made my day lol @ the drawing lmao - great work!
I'm glad!

Suggestion: get a A4 sized black paper >=90gsm to adhere to the other side, not only would it film better, but your eyes will adjust easier.
Actual review of the light pad begins at the 3:00 mark.
But then, you'd miss all that jibber jabber. What fun is that?

No.. This is just a simple light tablet. You can connect it to a USB port of your computer for power or use an adapter.
Are there any that you can just upload your own images from a laptop?
Yes anyone please suggest
Where did you get that tablet, I am looking for exactly what you got. a big tablet. Please reply. Thank you darling
Did you look in the description area below this video?
Great Bread I do not get a description box, maybe a quirk of iPad?
Kate Hobbs I use Ipad also. There is a little down arrow just under the video you can click to expand.
Do you know what kind of cable that is? Like the string with the tiny circle end and the USB charger end. My light box came without one, and there isn’t even a manual 😭
They all basically use those small USB connectors that's pretty common.
Would you recommend this light pad for weeding vinyl?
Hmm. I never tried that, but that does sound like a solid idea. My only concern might be the picker point poking the pad and scratching it. That would not be a happy day.
I wouldn't recommend it.
I tried your link for this light pad. 😂😂😂It is a broken link. What brand and what size is the one you have?
Brand Mac ting? A3 size?
Really super bag. Did you purchase that separately?
I must tried the link. It works okay if you copy it and paste it into your browser. I'll add the http to it so it will be clickable. BTW, the bag comes with the unit.
