Question: Do you HAVE to use the power button to turn it on? I would like to put it under plexiglass, and then switch it on via a "switch" at the outlet.
Document: I would have given this product 5 stars if they had made a reasonable length power cord with a switch-type power source. The power button now is a touch control and I'm afraid it will not last as long as long as a traditional switch.Overall:  For this price point, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I also bought a cover (sleeve) for a MacBookPro 15&#34; which fits this item perfectly (with the cord!)
very nice and thin. I like that you can easily change the brightness with a touch of the power button.
This light box has a beautiful slim design. I really like being able to adjust the brigthness, and it is a nice size for my drawing projects. This would be 5 stars but the AC power cord that came with mine was broken at the plug. I had to purchase a universal ac cord sine I didnt want to ship this back. If you are giving this as a gift check the box first.
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.The screen reminds me of my Kindle Paperwhite. It has a similar look and texture, and with the adjustable brightness, seems very similar when they are both turned up to the brightest level.I haven't tried powering it from my computer, but I did use a regular USB power plug to power it.
I am a tattoo artist and do a lot of watercolor painting, this totally serves the purpose and I like that it's compact compared to other light tables because I put it in my bag and take it to work and conventions.
I could not find this model on Huion's web site. I bought 2 each & gave one to daughter for birthday.The dimming is gradual, not in steps like low, medium, and high. I love the gradual dimming. Also, after you turn it off and restart it, it remembers your last setting and restarts at that setting.
For the price its an overall solid light box. Very light weight and thin so its easy for travel. You can choose how dim-bright you want it by holding down the button. The USB is nice, I mostly plug it into my laptop but with an adapter you can plug it into an outlet if you prefer.
Beautifully made. I'm very happy. I would like to clarify the real dimensions. They say it is a 10" x 14" pad with diagonal size of 17.7". There is 2 sizes to consider, the "outside" and the "illuminated". The ILLUMINATED is 9" x 12.5" with a diagonal of 15.5". The OUTSIDE is 10-5/8" x 14" with diagonal of 17.7".
I ordered it to use as light box and it is great! Love it! I wish, it would have batteries, so it would be possible to use without sitting next to socket or computer.For me, cable is long enough. Light is even and bright. It is great to have gradual control over light. Thin and light weight &#8211; perfect to take with you to college.
Finally a light box worth buying. This pad is very thing promised. It is light weight. The light at the bright setting is exactly what I need while still able to turn it down for other projects. There are no hot spots in the pad. The light is very even. One of the greatest things about it is how slim it is. This light pad makes other light boxes out of date. The workmanship is clearly high quality. The slim design makes it much easier to use.
Answer: Yes, you do have to use the power button to turn it back on. I tried turning the Huion on and then turning it off using a power cord strip switch. When turning the power cord strip switch back on the Huion remained turned off until I used the power switch on the Huion. You cannot use it under the plexiglass and use the switch at the outlet to control it. Sorry.
