Reviews
"I'm an adult and I use this light box all of the time for my own art projects."
"This pad comes with a full set (12) of good quality Crayola colored pencils, a graphite pencil, 10 blank sheets of paper and 10 pieces of tracing paper, plus tracing sheets with designs and stickers. The light emitted is quite bright, and expensive tracing paper is really not needed - we have used plain copy paper after the tracing paper that came with the pad was used up, and it works so well there was no need to use anything else."
"This was one of my 5 year old daughter's favorite presents."
"Can be used as a tiny light table to build magnet blocks on."
"Got this for 8 year old daughter for Christmas."
"I bought one for each of my 2 younger grands and they were so excited when they opened it on Christmas morning."
"My kids LOVE THIS THING."

"I love how the power button can be used with a small touch and also if you press it for a few seconds it acts as a dimmer."
"Light shows pattern through computer paper with design and lightweight interface ironed onto back of fabric."
"This is the thickness of an iPad, weighs virtually nothing, and is super easy on the eyes - I get migraines and this is a nice soft led light that doesn’t glare at all."
"The adjustable light works pretty smoothly, although I'll probably be keeping it all the way up most of the time as I use it for tracing drawings onto cardstock or thicker paper."
"Love this light pad, I'm using it to address wedding envelopes with calligraphy nib pen."
"We do with that it can be chargble though so he won’t have to connect it to something all the time but for the price and the costumer service ( the seller contacts you via email to assure you love your item and to help with any questions you have) it’s awsome!"

Reviews
"Televisions, computers, cell phones, iPads, etc., are all sized according to the SCREEN SIZE, not the size of the outside plastic housing. Also, after you turn it off and restart it, it remembers your last setting and restarts at that setting."
"I was going crazy... running around to different outlets in my apartment, warming my hands because I thought the touch power button wasn't recognizing the touch of my finger, plugging and unplugging the power cord from the light pad, searching through my box of old cords from years of old electronics, reading through reviews to find solutions, etc. After playing with the connection for a few minutes, I realized that when I wiggled the end of the power adapter, I would get the little red light to come on (indicating power). Then I realized if I squeezed both of the light pad sides together just around the plug's end to make the connection snug, the power would work just fine."
"The light IS adjustable (not mentioned in description) so you can set it to whatever brightness you wish."
"Also, I ordered Learning Resources Viewthru Geometric Solids (between $12-$15) and Guidecraft Jr. Rainbow Block Set (20 Piece about $20) plus, all the ideas Pinterest has (search light table activities) these are endless fun!"
"I use this for stained glass work, traditional glass painting, and other crafts, and the elevated profile of other light boxes can make it difficult to work with. The light is adjustable--just press on the power button until it is the brightness you need. I found that it will get just as bright as my older light box if I need it, but being able to turn it down is great for some applications."

"Fake buttons, fake switch...the only thing that worked was the light and I was not about to take batteries in and out every time my daughter wanted to use it. The function was the same, but there was no weird buttons at the top and the switch was a better quality switch in the back, not on the top."

Best Darkroom Safelights

Logisys Dual 12" Cold Cathode Kit - Red
12" ultra bright cold cathode tubes encased in its acrylic tube with ends sealed with rubber mounts for safety from breakage and aesthetics.
Reviews
"I wasn't able to connect it in the way I particularly wanted to but I settled with what appears to be the traditional setup, one along the bottom and one along the side of the motherboard which surely illuminates the inside of my case effectively. Other than that, if you're look for an inexpensive source of lighting for your case look no further."
"CON: -The power brick is an ugly white that would show if not placed properly in the case. -The wires from the power switch to the power brick are bright colors that show if not placed properly in the case."
"As others have noted, the light is a pleasing red color when viewed indirectly (reflected off case and components), but is slightly orangey if the tube is directly visible. Velcro provided was VERY sticky, which is great and leaves me confident they will stay in place much better than others that provided foam tape or nothing."
"I got these last night, they arrived pretty quick, seeing as I ordered them three days after a motherboard, paid no shipping on them, and ultra fast shipping on the motherboard and they still beat the motherboard here. I shorted my PSU to turn it on without my motherboard and these babies lit right up, both in full working order, and they look beautiful. I wish the PCI bracket switch was not baby blue as my entire case is black, and my motherboard is black/red, and the lights are red."
"I have them running on my EVGA P2 650w via Molex and when the PC sleeps they go off."
"If you have a full tower case, I would recommend buying 2 of these (4 tube lights & 2 on/off switches). I had purchased 2m led rope lights that did not light up the case adequately. I purchased these tube lights as a brighter solution...much brighter than the led rope lights."
"Let's me check to ensure machine(s) are no on - have this kit on many systems, so makes for quick check."

Best Darkroom Film Processing Equipment

Innovative Technology 35mm Negative and Slide Converter to PC
Simply connect this device to your PC and using our easy one-touch "instant scan", recapture all of your old images into clear digital copies which are perfect for archiving, sharing or just re-living the fond memories. Transfers 35mm negatives and slides to PC or notebook quickly and easily and print, edit or archive photo collections with quick and easy scanning software.
Reviews
"I like this little slide scanner, it was great for scanning 35mm Slides and Negatives, and converting them into JPG photos! Best of all if used with a simple photo editing program like the free Irfanview program with its "Autocorrect" setting and it will adjust the brightness, contrast, lighting and color temperature, all at one time."
"Loading was straight forward, and, if you read the instructions, the operations screen is adequate (it is not "obvious" what to do if you don't read the instructions). It seems most could use a tweak or 2 with a photo finish software, but some just don't reproduce no matter what I try."
"I've had a box of 35mm slides hidden away in my closet for over 30 years and in no time at all I now have them in digital format on my computer. It has paid for itself already just by saving me the time and effort to convert several hundred slides in just a few hours and now I am able to share them unlike before being hidden in a box in my closet."
"Here are a few of my thoughts: --------------------. Shipping. --------------------. I ordered the product on June 8th, it was shipped out the same day and I received it the next day, June 9th. --------------------. Construction Quality. --------------------. I was actually quite surprised by the overall quality of the product. The plastic construction of the camera/scanner was fairly decent and the rails that hold the negatives and slides were very durable. So, since I work with computers in an IT environment every day, my first thought was to search for an updated driver online. So after I uninstalled again, installed the new driver and rebooted (I think rebooting the PC is a big must in this situation), I was able to access the product with no issues. --------------------. Overall Thoughts. --------------------. This is a decent product ONLY if you get it on a crazy good sale."

"this loader is good enough for the price but looks cheap and fragile, I not use it a lot to confirm but looks like he couldn't take heavy use."
"I have owned many film loaders over the years, three other brands, and this is the one that I always come back to. It takes 100' rolls (or possibly bigger, but 100' seems to be the norm) of B/W or color film."
"Takes bulk 35mm film up to 100 feet (30 metres) which would yield 20-25+ cassettes for your camera depending on the number of exposures you load."

Reviews
"I needed this paper for a beginning film photography class and my university was selling it for $169 a box."
"Photo paper worked great for my photography."
"Recommended by high school photography teacher for class use."
"Paper is working great."
"but beware about scanning this type of paper because you will get what looks like noise which i can suspect results from the pearl aspect from this paper; glossy prints scans effortlessly w/ more contrast as well."
"bought to use for a college course, so far paper is performing very well, at this point I don't think there will be any problems due to temperature concerns because I bought online instead of directly from a local store or shop."
"Now as a Photo student you learn to keep your box of paper closed until you get to the Dark Room."

Reviews
"I gave it 3 stars instead of less because I can see how this would work pretty well for applications where you don't need the audio or barely care about it. I've updated my rating to 4 stars, and suggest that if you have an issue with the audio you consider contacting them for a replacement."
"This is a tiny camera which shoots both photos and videos that it can save onto a micro SD card (not included) or can be used in conjunction with an iOS or Android device in order to take photos or videos or monitor whatever the camera is pointing at continuously through an app. The camera is small and cleanly designed with three buttons controlling functionality - one for power, another for Wi-fi, and another for taking pictures/shooting video. The camera charges via an included USB cable, but it cannot receive continuous power from the cable while shooting video so you can't set it up as a security camera as it will run out of juice after a few hours of recording (and the amount of data you can save will be limited to your SD card's capacity as well). The video is shot through a fish-eye lens and actually looks quite decent for this type of camera. The price point on this camera at the time of this review was about 20% cheaper than it's nearest competitor (a very similar camera in size and functionality made by Polariod)."
"This summer I hope to use it as a dash cam on our boat and catch some of our wild adventures(waterproof is nice)! Overall with a great picture and sound, the cost of this camera is very competitive and puts others in this category in a run for their money."
"This VicTsing® mini lifestyle action camera is so cool and it’s really small. I was provided a free sample of VicTsing mini lifestyle action camera for testing and review and was asked only to give my honest review."
"[Review for mini lifestyle action camera]. This camera puts an action camera into a very small casing."
