The Aldi photo even shows "Triumph" in the top left corner.

The packaging is also almost identical.

    What is this? Is it just a thing to draw on with a light?

    • For tracing? I've seen animators use this.

    • If you cut and apply vinyl a light pad can help you line up the application surface with the vinyl even through opaque backing. I always thought it was a silly luxury too, until I realised I can't see through the backing to apply it properly and none of my backing paper is transparent.

  • oof, got one a few months ago from OW - 5v microUSB powered, dimmable, nice thin lightbox.

  • Can buy it from kogan

    • I do see Kogan have A3 ones for 50. They have bigger ones for more too. But is it as good? I don't see one with a clip on it for 50.

  • Yes lots of people found that Aldi just repack all kinds of items under their own brand including food seen a big thing on FB about cheap Aldi products actually was repackaged good quality food

    • But are they repackaging the original, or repackaging a clone of the original?

      • Depends, sometimes Aldi (and other retailers) tells the manufacturer to send the same product in two different packaging. The retailers package is sold as the homebrand cheaper while the manufacturer's package is sold at higher cost.

  • Well if Aldi can sell it for $49 and still make a profit it just shows what a rip-off OW are at $119

  • What does this thing do?

    Can I draw or write notes on it, and it converts it electronically into a pdf or something?

      No, this just lights up. But they do make graphics tablets where you can put real paper on it, draw on the real paper, and you end up with the vector line file of all the strokes you made to draw it. I think all the major graphics tablet brands have a version of this now. Must be great for capturing natural looking signatures.

      • Cool will look into that, thanks!

  • For those who missed out, there's a similar looking one for $51 + free delivery on Amazon

      Amazon Marketplace. This one not sold or fulfilled by Amazon. šŸ‘Ž

      • What does this imply? How does it work?

  • Any recommendations for an A4 version?

  • You write as if it is a bad thing when in fact it represents a great bargain

  • NICE, THIS BOX IS LIT
