Although some animators use much larger and more expensive light boxes to draw with, this simple desktop version is a cheaper and more manageable alternative. We use these in all of our Manga and Anime workshops. The box provides a nice even lit area (no “hot spots”) and a slight tilt to the drawing surface to make it more like a drafting table and easier to see what you are doing. The built-in pencil slot is handy for holding a few frequently-used pencils or pens. The lightweight plastic body and small size make it about as portable as you can expect a lightbox to be. It could use a carrying handle, though!

Great product. Does as it’s advertised. The lighting is pretty bright, good enough for even use of tracing photos from cameras, newspapers, magazines and more.
Only things I may want to note about it is that it wouldn’t be good for ‘destructive’ kids. A good couple drops and it would be in pierces, not to say that is’s built weak.. it just doesn’t seem as if it could take too much punishment.
The only down side to MY shipment is that it was missing a rubber foot. This wasn’t a big deal being as I had tons lying around and could of got one for 25 cents from the local hobby shop.

Good:
Is bright enough to shine through Bristol and one or two pages of guidelines
Is sturdy enough to put up with reasonable wear and tear
Is light and small enough to be used as part of a portable project kit.
Bad:
Case has a built in tilt that forces you to use it landscape or awkwardly prop the short end up to enable portrait orientation
Case is made out of a brittle plastic that raises concerns for transport – do not drop or squish it!

The light is good enough to trace but is not a strong light.The on and off button needs a little functioning.Other than that I’m happy with the purchase since I got what I’d payed for. thanks

I have an 8 year old daughter that just loves the light tracer. She traces everything she can! It works great!
