AnonyMouse_13453 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I'm thinking of investing in one of these and would like some input from all you lovely folk out there who already have one - what are the positive or negative aspects of the one you have? Which is the most sensibly priced? Where is the best place to get one from? etc Any thought gratefully received! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_8466 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I have the small table top light box - the children absolutely love it. I like the fact that it can go wherever we want it to (and it is a nice slimline one that we keep in its original box so doesn't take up much space in my cupboard). Ours has a fairly short lead which is good because children don't get caught up in it, but it does mean it needs to go near a power supply, obviously. It has one of those little switches with a circular disc which children can easily manage to switch on and off themselves. Ours also has hooks on the back so that you could hang it if you wanted to. I got mine from Reflections on Learning - you can see it here. I also bought a selection of x-rays to go with it too - great for when we have a hospital role play!

AnonyMouse_8282 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 That looks a nice one Maz, thankyou. Nice start We've just ordered that one. We're a 'pack-away' so size influenced our choice - but it good to hear a positive review about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyMouse_19762 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I've got one Cait - I'm fairly sure that was 'Reflections' too - I'll try and remember to take a photo for you...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_2157 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 we have the small table top one too the children do enjoy experimenting with it. However, if you can afford it I would go for the Reflections on Learning light station- as it is on wheels you can move it anywhere in the setting (that is near a socket) and the built in storage is ideal to keep resources to be used with it. http://www.reflectionsonlearning.co.uk/s/l...56/Product.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_19762 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 (edited) A little experiment to see if I can upload a photo...... Light_station.doc Woohoo! I did it! The 'sparkly' numbers shown in the photo were purchased with Tesco vouchers or was it Sainsburys well one or the other! Also have 'clear' coloured counters, shapes, sheets of coloured cellophane, 'skeleton' leaves, 'discovery blocks' - with coloured liquid 'middles'.....hmmm.......sure there's more - suffering from 'fried' brain today! Edit to say - I didn't really 'do it' at all - I was hoping for the photo to show - ah well I tried! Edited March 28, 2011 by sunnyday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit to say - I didn't really 'do it' at all - I was hoping for the photo to show - ah well I tried! it doesn't show as you uploaded a document with the photo in it.. (.doc file) had you uploaded just the photo it would have been seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
