Note: info on flickering light!!
Hopefully this will help someone before they think they have an issue, like i did! I was excited to receive the light box and immediately unwrapped and plugged it in.
Although t comes with a cable with Usb plug, there wasn't an adaptor or square end piece to plug it into with prongs to go into the wall outlet. I didn't want to plug it into a laptop as i know that it doesn't get quite enough power to avoid flickering.
I was on the kitchen counter where my cell phone with a similar cord was plugged into a wall adaptor into the wall outlet. There are two openings for USB cables in order to charge two different things and was currently it was charging my cell phone. So i plugged in the light box cable and pushed the power button. The light came on from low to high as i held it down longer. When it got to about 1/2 of the potential brightness, it began flickering. If i pulled the brightness way down to low it was constant but i need more light!
After thinking about it i realized it was SHARING power this way. ***When i unplugged the phone and all power went to the box there was no flashing!!***
Ok. So probably most people will just know this right off the bat but just in case.... Here you go!
Other than this non-issue, everything else is exactly as described and works great!! Crazy lightweight, smooth and sleek. I can trace onto cardstock, looking through cardstock! See pics!
First pic is cardstock with print covered with striped yellow cardstock. Second pic is white print cardstock under white cardstock with light at the brightest.
