Re: SaturnSlide and light pad - WOW!

[Tom Deering <tmd@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

This must be a new product.  AltaVista only found three pages 
mentioning it.  Here's a compilation of all three:

Logan Electric Specialty Manufacturing has announced the release of 
their latest item, Model A-5A Slim Edge Light Pad. The light box is 
only 1/2-inch thin and the 8" by 10" (4x5 also avail) viewing surface 
features bright, illuminating light source of 5400K. The unit can be 
used flat on a table, standing at an incline, or hung flat on a wall. 
The Light Pad has also been designed to display photo transparencies 
held under its clear plastic panel.

Has two 5400K color-corrected lamps with 20,000-hour life.Fits easily 
in a briefcase or stores in a desk drawer. Powered by a 12V, DC 
adapter.

I really had to hunt for a price.  B&H sells Model A-7A (4x5") for 
$54.95.  For comparison, B&H also has the Cabin 4x5 on special (I 
wonder why) for $79.95.  Both include adaptors.  I'll have to drop by 
B&H tomorrow.  :^)
