Lightpad review
For this lightpad, I can say that I completely enjoy this product. While I'm not one to trace, when I work with illustration clients that want multiple but similar designs, its easy to make multiple copies of the same drawing and then slightly alter each one to find the base sketch that appeals most to the client. The three levels of light intensity shines through thick and thin paper, and the thin design itself helps.As an artist, I use a sketchbook. The thin design allows for me to place the lightpad under a page in my sketchbook, so that I can get the image on to another page via tracing. While it is possible to do without the lightpad, I have found that it is quicker when on a deadline.Not only is the lightpad useful for its intended purpose, but it is also a nice, smooth surface to draw on aside from tracing.I have used this lightpad for a few days and have no complaints. I have noticed though, that the areas around where the lightpad is plugged in at, and near the button, tends to be warmer than other areas. This is either from my hand resting on that area and the area retaining heat, or a simple matter of light heat production. But it has never been anything more than slightly warm, barely noticeable. I don't leave the lightpad on for hours, and its only activated when I'm working.I have also noticed that when on, the sides of the lightpad actually shine light out on to the surrounding areas. It is an interesting effect, but doesn't impede or cause any harm.As for the USB cord, the package came with a wall socket as well, so you can plug in away from a computer. But on the subject of using the USB, I find no problems with it. The cord is long, and if I don't want to use my laptop to power it up, I can always plug it in the wall. The cord is as long as my arm span (as a 5'4" adult, I imagine if someone wants to know how long that is they can do the math), and is very roomy and forgiving. Just because it says USB required doesn't detract from its use.

A GREAT LITTLE LIGHT TABLE!
This product is simple but effective. I am old school: by profession, I am a drafter and have always had access to light tables in my work. But as computer aided design takes over, there is really not much need for a light table. Over time, light tables have disappeared from drafting offices I have worked in.But I also build plastic scale models as a hobby. I need to trace camouflage patterns to make paint masks on a pretty regular basis. Out of frustration and not being able to see through a sheet of paper to trace a camo pattern, I said to myself "too bad I don't have a light table". Then on a whim, I thought I would look on Amazon and I found this device. It is perfect for my hobby. It provides 3 levels of brightness at the touch of a button and is small enough and light enough to carry anywhere (I even found myself making paint masks by tracing a camo pattern on an index card while watching TV in bed a few nights ago).The uses for this device are limited only to your needs. I think any artist, hobbyist or graphics professional can think of a time when a device such as this would come in handy. For the price, there really is no reason not to have one.I have only had the device for a couple months so we will see how it holds up. It doesn't seem like it would take a lot of abuse so I am careful to put it away when I am not using it. But I am 100% happy with my purchase.

Bright consistent light pad
I use this for photography as an additional fill light and as a way to take flat frames during my astrophotography sessions. I also let my grandchildren use it for tracing and drawing. So easy to use with just a small, cheap battery pack and usb cable (which was provided). Oh, and I used it as a backlight to scan old film negatives into Photoshop essentially creating a digital print from a negative! Easy to do and works well. I like the lightness which makes it so less cumbersome when using - for me and for my grandchildren.

Affordable flat panel for astrophotography
I use this to generate flat calibration frames for my astrophotography photos and it works fine for the price. Brightness is adjustable and is very light weight and easy to use.My only complaint is there is no way to set the brightness and forget it. If it simply retained the last brightness used or had an easier way to consistently set the brightness I would give it another star but having to push and hold a button to adjust the brightness leaves too much room for error and inconsistencies.All in all this is a great panel for creating flat calibration frames for astrophotography.

Simple operation, lightweight, great for homeschooling
I really like this light box for my toddler to use while playing with transparent objects. I originally got this to work underneath a learning advantage light box tray, which is shown in the photos.I like that you can tap the power button several times to get a brighter light and eventually it turns off. The cycle starts again when you hit the power button.It’s extremely easy to use and light weight but not flimsy. Since my toddler is a little bit rough, I won’t leave him unattended with this, since it’ll surely break, but for average use by an adult, it’ll work great. I wholeheartedly recommend this item!Updated 3/19/20: I am so glad I bought this during 2020’s social distancing. This has been a great tool to use for homeschooling my preschooler. I heartily recommend this to parents looking to engage their cooped up children!

Alright
The button is very hard to press, i have to press it a bunch of times before it works which is a bit annoying . Maybe just a fault in this particular one. But once its on it works fine and the different light settings are useful

First But I "missed" the Return Window because I'd held item as a gift for a few weeks.
Item arrived in a timely manner - I checked it upon receipt and all was well. I repacked the item exactly as received and wrapped it in readiness for my daughters upcoming 11th birthday (late August). However when my daughter attempted to use it on her birthday the thing was utterly dead! Will not power on, will not charge, just sits there completely useless! So it literally worked for moment, and then didn't ever again!And worse still, apparently my "window for returns" was a matter of weeks (not the statutory 1+ year as legally required for Australia??) So I cant even return it for an item that works!Astonishingly bad business practice, and one therefore assumes, terrible products :(
