Perfect for more complex projects. The LightTracer II comes with a blue sheet over the tracer area please make sure you remove this sheet before using the product. Made in USA.
I know most use it for tracing of some sort, but I bought this light box for layering multi-color/layer vinyl decals. To that end, it works excellently. I used to do it by lining up registration marks on the vinyl. This makes it a lot easier. Just tape down the second layer, line up and place the first layer; tape down the third layer, line up and place the combined 1st and 2nd layers, etc.The light in this light box is plenty bright. As well as layering vinyl decals, I can see it coming in handy for tracing images to vectorize (the sharpie method). One reviewer mentioned their light bulb being loose in it's fitting; I suspect she may have gotten a defective unit. The light bulb in mine does not move in the slightest amount; it's in there rock solid. Artograph provides a 5 year warranty with this light box, which is commendable amongst today's typical 1 year warranty.Build quality is excellent; the unit is made out of plastic, but feels very sturdy. The acrylic diffuser sheet fits tightly in the provided opening and sits ever so slightly below the surface. This is good since the acrylic edges can be sharp and very uncomfortable to work on if they were above the surface.Another reviewer mentioned having to flip the switch a few times to get the light going; in the manual it states to press and hold the switch for a few seconds to warm it up from a cold startup. This is the way I've been doing it and it has been working great for me.Other small details:-The tool recess can be useful for frequently used items.-It comes with a hideously gaudy magenta logo sticker affixed to the top left corner. Once I confirmed the light box was working and met my standards I promptly removed it and relocated it to the bottom and have since replaced it with a vinyl decal. Now it doesn't look like a toy.-For those who it matters to, it is made in the USA.That's about it! I'm happy with it and see no need to spend hundreds when this does the job for much less (about a Grant in my case).
