Review on 🌟 Cricut BrightPad 2, Mint: The Ultimate Crafting Companion with Enhanced Illumination by Wendy Rodriguez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Large, well-lit screen

Wireless lightbox for creativity. The board dimensions are 13.5 x 11 x 3/8 inches. It has a screen size of 9 x 11.5 inches. It has a glossy polycarbonate finish with a hardness of 6H. Top 3 buttons: power and brightness up, brightness down. There are 5 brightness settings ranging from 400-4000 lumens. There is a port for charging on the side next to the control buttons. The kit includes a USB-A to USB micro charging cable and a USB transformer. I find this to be a very versatile lightbox. Like other lightboxes, it's great for tracing. With 4,000 lumens of light output, you can draw on a variety of papers or even fabrics. However, what sets this lightbox apart from regular lightboxes is the solid polycarbonate finish. The surface is designed to withstand sharp weeding tools without scratching. This allows you to place your complex weeding projects on screen and use your tools directly on the surface of the lightbox without scratching the surface. I have found that this lightbox makes it much easier to find small details in complex designs. I also found the light settings useful for choosing the right amount of light for my materials. I can see detail better in low light on bright materials, but detail is better on darker HTVs when I crank the lighting settings to the maximum. I really like that this lightbox has a built-in rechargeable battery, so it doesn't need to be plugged into the mains. I can take the lightbox and weed the patio. The battery lasts at least 2 hours without recharging. Overall, this is a great tool for many crafting tasks and is particularly good for weeding.
