What is an artist lightbox?

An artist light box, also known as a tracing light box or a light pad, is a device used by artists to aid in various artistic processes, such as tracing, transferring, and refining drawings or designs. It consists of a flat, illuminated surface that emits a bright and even light.

he main purpose of an artist light box is to provide a uniformly lit surface that allows artists to see through layers of paper or other translucent materials. The LED lights embedded within the box create a bright and even illumination, making it easier to see and trace images.
