Dropped $300 on a new drafting light pad and it's been a total game changer for my home office setup.

I was squinting at my paper drawings under a regular desk lamp for months, and my eyes were killing me by the end of the day. This thing gives me perfect, even light across the whole sheet, and tracing details is way faster now. Anyone have a good method for cleaning the glass surface without leaving streaks?

I remember that eye strain, it's brutal. A little rubbing alcohol on a microfiber cloth usually works for me.

Hold up man, I gotta disagree here. Rubbing alcohol is too harsh for screens, it can strip that anti-glare coating over time. I learned that the hard way on an old monitor and it never looked the same after. A dry microfiber cloth is usually enough for dust, and for tougher smudges just a tiny bit of distilled water works way better. Eye strain gets worse when you mess up the coating and light scatters everywhere. You do you, but I would be careful with alcohol on anything more than a phone screen.

My old art teacher swore by a mix of vinegar and water for cleaning anything glass. It worked on our light tables back in the day.
