Good morning
Stayed over with
pfy last night. This morning I am borrowing
mirrorshard's lightbox, which is an Apollo goLITE p1.
Impressions:
-blue lights! Makes everything else - even outside - look a bit yellow.
-fiddly bugger, had to press lots of buttons to get it to stay at full intensity. I could probably operate it more easily if I read the fine manual, but that smacks of effort. What is wrong with just having an 'on' button?
-doesn't seem as bright; not as suitable for use as, say, a working lamp for doing small fiddly stuff as my LiteBook is.
-seems a little smaller and lighter than the LiteBook, and I do like that the stand doubles as cover.
-very slightly noisy - not a big fan noise like the old LiteBook, but not absolutely silent like the newer (but not newest-model) one that
hairyears has. Slight high-pitched whine, most people probably wouldn't notice.
Will it help as much as the LiteBook does? I do not know.
Can I be arsed to link-enable this post? No. Google for the damned things yourself.
(no, the userpic does not depict the lightbox. Or any lightbox. It's something else.)

It might well not be so bright - it's got a very restricted spectral range, about 10nm worth of restricted. I haven't tried using it as a working light, and I doubt it would work well, for that reason.
You're entirely right about the whine - I think it's from the power supply. I leave it unplugged when not in use for that reason.
