Whether you're drawing, tracing, crafting or sewing there's a lightbox for you. Our expert has picked 10 of the best.
A lightbox is quite a simple device. It's basically a square or rectangular container that has a glass or plexiglass surface with a light shining beneath it. You switch it on, place an image you want to copy onto the glass, and then place your paper or fabric on top. The light should shine through your paper, enabling you to see the image below clearly enough to trace it.
Depending on the thickness of the paper or fabric you use and the brightness of the lightbox, you may need to dim the lights in your studio or office, since the darker you make the room, the easier it will be to see the image on the lightbox. Also note that while these devices are conventionally dubbed ‘lightboxes’, they're not actually so big and chunky. Most are thin and sleek, and not so box-like, so you'll also see them referred to as ‘light tables’, or even more accurately as ‘light pads’ since they’re quite similar in size and shape to a notepad, or even an iPad.In our opinion, the best lightbox for tracing overall at the moment is the.
However, other lightboxes may suit your specific needs if you need to work at larger sizes, want to save space on your desk, or if you have a tighter budget, so, in the guide above, we've included a range of options, each with its own selling points.Most lightboxes cost somewhere between $20 / £15 and $100 / £75, but there are much more expensive models for specialist purposes, which can run into the hundreds of dollars/pounds.
The choice of the best lightbox for you will usually come down to budget and four specific factors: the size of working surface you need, how strong you need the light to be , how lightweight and portable you want the device to be, and the type of power supply you require.Yes, of course.
