S635. Logan Slim Light Pad. This was a hit at Letters Mingle Souls and the 2008 IAMPETH Convention. Ideal for travel, on-site use, or those with limited space. Flat enough to fit in a portfolio (it’s only 1/2" thick) and ultra lightweight. Provides remarkably even and bright illumination. 8"x10" (203mm x 254mm) surface. Two 5400°K, color-corrected lamps provide 20,000 hours of life. (Replacement bulbs are available.) Comes with adapter (12V) for US outlets (120V). $135.00
