Review: Fantastic tracing aid…I love it! - This is a fabulous & easy to use tracing aid; fantastic for helping the kids to trace over & learn to write letters & words for example. It’s really light in weight & can be placed either directly on your lap, or on the table whilst you trace/draw. It is so simple to use, with just one power-on button (though it has 3 different brightness settings). This device is only a light-source (a flat torch I suppose), used for tracing (like old-fashioned style tracing) your desired pictures/photos/images etc. You just place the ‘original’ image that you want to trace (face-up) directly on-top of this light tablet, then place a blank piece of paper (or fabric…) directly on-top of the original image/picture/photo etc. Because the light from this light tablet shines up through BOTH the ‘original’ image & the blank paper/fabric upon which you are tracing, you will be able to see the ‘original’ image/picture much more clearly & so be able to draw (trace) really easily. This light tablet is like a ‘flat torch’ & it’s only purpose is to shine light up through an ‘original’ image & a piece of blank paper/fabric upon which you want to trace, thus making it much easier to see & draw! The flat ‘torch-like’ light source makes the blank paper/fabric & ‘original’ picture/image kind of see-through if you get what I mean. It doesn’t do anything else at all, other than enable you to trace images more readily. The USB cable is ONLY the power source for this light tablet; to power it…you connect it to a device such as a laptop or a computer using the USB cable. However, this connection does NOT allow the light tablet to ‘communicate’ with other devices or the internet. So, you CANNOT upload/download/send/receive/save images to or from other devices or via the internet using this light tablet; it is just a light source, nothing more nothing less.

What should I do?** A: You just need a standard Samsung phone charger type cable. **Q: Is there a case for it** A: No it does not come with a case, hope that helps **Q: Do you have to print out the image and place it underneath the sheet you are tracing? If not then how do you put the image to trace on the screen? Thx** A: Yes you need an image ideally single sided though magazine pages with a good clear image work well as long as the back is not too intrusive. The light is bright enough to work with two sheets of 80 / 90 gsm printing paper though tracing paper is better. **Q: Can you advise if i can get a longer usb lead for this product** A: You could try to using the short lead, plugged in to a portable battery/charger. I use my (phone sized) portable battery, which charges via a usb cable.. and have it plugged in to the Light Box, laying by the side of it ... and it last for around 6-8hrs. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic tracing aid…I love it! *by T***Y on 19 November 2021* This is a fabulous & easy to use tracing aid; fantastic for helping the kids to trace over & learn to write letters & words for example.
