Slide Viewer Light Box 5600K 12”x8” Ultra-Thin Adjustable Brightness Backlight for Slides and Film Negative Scanning

This "lightbox" exceeded my expectations for quality and design. It has worked flawlessly for viewing slides and negatives: light weight, variable lighting brightness, and a decent size viewing surface that is textured: negatives, etc. are held in position even when the unit is tilted somewhat for easier viewing. An effective, easy-to-use tool for viewing items that need to be backlit. (I saw some reviews that were critical of the directions. The directions included are ALTERNATIVE to use with a downloadable app so you can process negatives for printing. It's an added benefit, not a feature.)

Lights up very well, however I needed one that enlarges the negatives. Did get it to work well also using a magnifying glass

This light now works great. It has clean and even light. It is larger the I needed and I’m getting to like this size better. It’s flatter than my old and looks great. I gave it 4 stars because I don’t like the push button dimmer that scales up and down when you hold it. I don’t know why a dimmer is needed, but I’d like to see a more responsive switch for that function.

We we able to view 10-12 slides at one time. We had about 1000 slides dating back to 1970. Easy to use. Great product.

This is a great light box. It is very sturdy and very light weight. It is very thin and easy to carry around if you needed to. I bought it to make digital copies of my 35mm negatives and slides. What I suggest if you want to make copies of negatives or slides is to buy a black kraft paper to place on top of the light box. Cut a rectangle or shape the size of your negative and place the negative on that cut out rectangle. This will prevent from getting any reflections on you lens and then showing up on the digital photo. Since you need to use a macro lens you need to be very close to the light box and eventually to will get a bit of light reflecting on the lens and that will show on the digital photo.

The light intensity is good if you want to digitalize negative films. The bad thing: the white plastic (light diffuser) has a granulated texture which is noticeable when scanning negative films... it means, if your film is grainy, now because of the diffuser texture it will become more. I managed to reduce the texture by adding a laminar Fresnel on top of it so the texture won't be too noticeable.

I have used a clunky fluorescent light box in the past and wow, this is such a step up. and it does not strobe when used with a digital camera or scanner. Had a problem adjusting intensity until I found there is a trick: turn it on, take finger off button, then press until you have the right brightness. Works a treat. Good value too.

I'll give it a full five stars because it does work and the light pattern is better than a few that I've tried. I picked this one because I did not need a battery and was rated for about the same color (Kelvins) that my other lights are rated. The touch sensitive control is kinda, well, touchy. It works, one you figure it out. Touch and hold to change brightness up or down and then next time it'll go the other way. I do wish I could set it to an exact brightness or step it up and down via + and - buttons. As it is, it works, but for me, takes an extra 30 seconds or so to get set up. Otherwise, good value, respectable build and all that good stuff. BT recommended

Muy buen producto, mejor de lo que esperaba
