Review on πŸ’‘ Rechargeable A4 LED Light Box Tracer: Wireless 5-Level Brightness | Dimmable A4 LED Light Pad for Cricut Vinyl, Weeding Tools, Drawing & Crafting by Nicole Mcleod

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Much better UI than my previous one!

I bought my first lightbox (USB powered) a little over a year ago and while it was great it had some issues with the user interface. I tripped over the power button and turned it off during use or accidentally knocked out the USB cable while connected to my computer or laptop. I had over 30 two-tone stickers to sift through and line up, so I set out to find the best box for my needs that wouldn't break the bank. This is the one I went for and I wish I had updated sooner. The only downsides: it wasn't clear if/when it was fully charged and the material seems quite soft (maybe plastic rather than glass) and I expect it will break badly with weeding tools over time. Neither was enough for me to downgrade it to 4 stars (although 4.5 would be an option). But there are pluses too! It has a gentle slope to the board meaning I don't hunch over it like my previous flat, the lighting settings are pretty standard - fairly dim to fairly bright (I found the brightness +1 off average). . perfect for my needs most of the time in a slightly darkened living room). The power button is on the side and it's almost impossible to accidentally turn it off. I'm no longer tied to a power source (didn't realize how annoying this really is until I used it). The measurement markings are in the lightbox section, not on the trim - SUPER helpful. I can't tell you how long the charge will last - but I can confirm that I've removed 70 stickers and installed 35 two-tone stickers without fading. I would recommend it (and will be buying it for some other Cricut friends over Christmas).

Pros
  • Art, Painting & Art Supplies
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
