Daylight Tabla XL – A3 light pad

The Tabla XL™ is an A3 light pad designed for tracing, paper projects, quilting and vinyl weeding. It allows tracing across the entire A3 tracing area, with the manufacturer emphasizing even edge-to-edge illumination for consistent detail visibility.

Key features

• Illumination up to 6,800 lux – higher contrast for fine line and detail control when redrawing.
• 3 brightness levels – quick adaptation to paper weight / material thickness.
• Even edge-to-edge illumination – more readable template edges and drawings without noticeable “darker” zones.
• Integrated scale in cm and inches (illuminated guide marks) – checking dimensions and line guidance directly on the surface.
• Durable construction: aluminum body + scratch-resistant surface (manufacturer states A6 hardness) for longer service life in the workshop.
• Slim design 8 mm – easy to store on the workbench and handle.

For whom and where is it used?

• Goldsmiths/jewelers: transferring designs, checking symmetry, working with templates and redrawing motifs (ornament, monograms, engraving materials) onto paper or foil. (Derived from the purpose for tracing and working with templates.)
• Workshop with larger materials: A3 format is suitable if you often work with larger designs, more elements on one sheet, or need more "reserve" around the template.

Design and control

• 3-step dimming (3-step dimmer) for quick brightness switching without complicated settings.
• Aluminum body for mechanical resistance; A6 surface helps with scratch resistance.
• The manufacturer lists 6,000K “daylight” LEDs and “true-colour accuracy” – suitable for consistent task lighting when redrawing.
