Review on Crafty Mint Ultra Thin A4 Tracing Light Box - Portable USB Diamond Painting Light Pad - Drawing Pads for Designers - Art Accessories and Gifts for Artists by Morgan Gilmore

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Spend extra money! This is a lightweight diamond painting/embroidery pad!

OMG! I will never do 5D diamond embroidery/diamond painting on any other device. I bought this lightbar after buying 2 other panels (at cheaper prices) which after a short while the cable connections connected to the panel broke loose and they stopped working. I paint with diamonds when I'm sitting on the couch with my notebook on my lap. I think since the other pads weren't used "on the desk" and the pad was moved from my lap to the table several times over the course of the evening, perhaps the movement contributed to the possibility that they could potentially come loose, but the design of this feature is not conceptual and the connection is not maintained in a way that it can be safely placed at the actual location. I started reading more reviews when I looked at another lightbar and realized that almost all lightbars that happen to have this type of micro USB connector for power have a number of people complaining about the complaining about the same kind of connection errors. I was looking for a site with a different type of connection and came across this site. He has an amazing feeding system! The cable that comes with the mount is 10 feet long. BONUS! The cable connects to a short "pigtail" cable attached to the lightbar itself. You don't plug the cable directly into the pad, but there the "pigtail" is attached to the pad, the cable is armored and apparently protects the integrity of the power system. I discovered that this is the ONLY panel with this power option and the company really should emphasize this feature. That's wonderful! The light is larger than I intended but I focused on the power supply when researching my purchase but found I like the larger size. It still fits perfectly on my lap table. There are 4 small non-slip discs on the back of the lantern. Another nice little thing. Three lighting modes. The light is a "solid" pad of light, not the small matrix dots on the pad that were present on any of the other pads I've had. I've had the light for about a week and used it for 2-4 hours at night and I love it! I can't recommend it more highly. I will continue my review if I encounter any problems. I have to credit the delivery
