Hi Joanne, Do you have one or are waiting to get one? I'd be interested to hear your feedback especially if you also have a Standscan Pro to compare it to. Also, do you know if for the price of $35 you get just the box with the lights or do they include a power wall adapter? If that were the case then the price would be basically exactly the same as Standscan Pro with the wall adapter. By the way, the Standscan Pro's finish on the inside is also matte to absorb rather than reflect the light.

Very similar to standscan it got a mad finish rather than a lemonade gloss finish.
