Can I trace photographs with this? Is the light bright enough to go through photos?

It would depend on the weight (thickness) of your photo and what you are tracing it on to. I placed an inkjet printed photo on the light box with the photo side down. It was standard Kodak photo paper. Then I placed a piece of tracing paper over it. That worked fine. However, I don't know if the results would be the same with older photos that were produced on heavier paper, or using a thicker tracing medium such as 20 lb. bond white paper.

Hi DEBBIE MCMAHILL, if the light you are pertaining is the flash or the AF illuminator, this can be set only on shooting still images and not for video recording. -Ely

Well David, that is a good question. I have a light meter, but not where I have this equipment. What would you like to use this to illuminate? I may be able to answer based on your application. The range of color is amazing and it has worked perfect for anything where I have used this item. I have been quite pleased and I was trying to imagine the brightest setting and I can say that the light this strip throws is quite impressive. Sorry I cannot be exact with the lumens but If I knew what you would be using this for I could tell you if it would work, possibly.

Not really- it largely depends on on your lighting.You certainly cannot see detail through it

Why would you want to do that? If you were able to disconnect the LED's, then you may not see the image when the PIR senses someone entering. If you want to 'Catch Someone' without giving away that they're being recorded, than, don't buy this lamp; because the PIR emits a blue light when it senses movement and they'll definitely see that. The LED lights DO NOT come on during the day, if that's your concern, but the camera, tripped by the PIR, still records movement.

It can produce fairly good images at low light but resolution is not too high to begin with and there needs to be some light; pitch black and it won't see anything (no surprise). If identifying faces is important, I would not use this product unless it is in a well-lit area.

This camera should work just fine for photos in this type of lighting. I would just suggest you use a tripod to ensure the pictures are sharp.

Yes it is, but I am still testing it as I find either the sensor's or light source is not even on the image scanned. It was alright at first but getting poor with usage. The 22 MP setting did not show good results either. Hope someone else can verify.

You can use this as strobe to illuminate your photos. You can to buy this for photos that need more light. Studio or outside are examples. Hope I helped.

I took this camera on a trip It only worked in bright light with minimum movement. If you moved from a dark surface to a light surface it would take at least 10 to 15 seconds to get a image you could view without distortion. I took it to a band concert and was only able to see dark moving shadows. It also had Issues with transferring files if the file was to large it would error multiple times. You get what you pay for I now use a GoPro

thank you for the questionactually I returned it back as it didnt match my requirements using it in big room, regarding resolution and illumination (lumins units)wish to help you more :)

This light certainly works while recording or still shots. it also has a little knob to adjust the brightness. In my opinion very inexpensive and definitely worth the buy. You might want to buy a bracket for you camera because the light isn't small. If you camera is bracket ready then this is certainly the light for you. I own a Nikon p500 so our cameras are both similar In style but not the actual same camera. This is why I suggest making sure your camera would support the light either by bracket or your camera may even have something to already support the light on top. Sorry I could not help on the last portion of your question. But I would certainly recommend this light.

Robert, the Light tracer is like sturdy plexiglass. While you could certainly cut on top of it, it would permanently scar/scratch the surface.

Yes! But you will need to add light at the top of the specimen that you want to view. I use the AMScope LED Spotlight.

You would have to check the lumen ouput over the area of lighting9photo metric data)Most likely not but you could use 4 and probabbly come close.

If your photograph is first transferred to transparency it should (in a darkened room-best). I have been pleased with it thus far but have not used photographs.

A candle and box of matches can be used as a backup. Okay that's a joke, BUT in my experience all except for the darkest scenarios, available light exposures yield better photos than the flash.
