The best lightbox will help you trace and draw everything from photos to drawings and even fabric, illuminating even the finest details.
I particularly like the lightness and mobility of the Brightpad Go, at 676 Grams it's one of the lighter screens on this list. It means you can use this at a table or have it on your lap and sketch, and it can be packed away in a bag so you can take your projects outside – the Brightpad Go's battery lasts for just under two hours and is rechargeable.
The Wafer 3 differs from other lightboxes by offering a dimmer switch with a memory function, so rather than specific settings you can adjust the brightness to your liking and the project's needs. This means the Wafer 3 is a little more adaptable than some lightboxes if you're doing more than just sketching, and can include embossing and stenciling.
The LED is 5500 lux / 1200 Lumens, which is ideal for drawing and features a dimmer switch to raise and lower the light's brightness. What I also like is this has a light lock, so by holding down the dimmer for three seconds the HSK A2 will retain the brightness you use most . It’s worth being aware that the maximum brightness is much lower than that of the Huion A3 LED Light Pad, hitting 1,100 lux. This is still enough for most purposes, but it’s something to be aware of. In the box you get a bulldog clip for securing your paper, as well as a generously sized 78-inch USB cable for charging purposes.The Dear Carbon A3 Light Board comes with a built-in stand, which makes it ideal for artists and also unique on this list.
This LED lightbox has a 8000K-10000K colour temperature and a 650 CD/M² brightness rating. The Gaomon GB4 works well on standard paper, and that brightness quality ensures its doesn't stress your eyes as some lightboxes can do but it's also not the brightest on my list. The only downside is, if you use thick paper stock you may struggle with the Gaomon GB4 but for 99% of tasks it works fine.
