Yes, on eBay, Nanguang CN-T96… I now have this. Opening up, it appears to be the same light panel as on Skier. Here’s a comparison with the Solux, a “gold-standard” backlight for camera-scan. Based on this, I can highly recommend buying the $50 Nanguang light. It is far brighter than Kaiser and the color is excellent. (One caution: Mine came with a European plug.)
