Oohh a yarn haul video. I'll watch out for that one. Happy crafting ms Grace!
Yay for yarn!! Happy crafting to you Rose!! 💗💗
Hi Grace! Happy New Year and welcome back. Great review in the differences of the light boards. So glad to see you back!
Hi Wanda!!! Happy New Year! It's good to be back - I really do miss you guys!! I'm glad you liked it - I really do like my big board, because of the light being so much brighter! Take care!! 💗💗
Oh my goodness am I glad you made this video ! I just bought the A3 like yours from Amazon the other day and I love it ! I showed my husband this video and he told me to order one. I DP faster with this, as the symbols are hard for me to see in the darker backgrounds with just a Bright Tech lamp. I love it also and it has a magnifier in it, but this light pad showing light through the canvas is really a plus ! Thank you for all you do, it helps many more of us than you know.
I am so glad this video helped you out!! I wish I had known the difference when I first bought mine. This bigger one helps see the symbols so much on the DPs. I have a really hard time seeing things if it's too dark, so it is an "eye-saver" 😊💕💖
can you tell me the name of the board you ordered?
Happy New year Grace! Nice comparison, thank you for sharing. I look forward to your yarn haul.
Happy New Year to you Gwen!! I hope you are feeling better - I know you have been having a rough time (I've watched your videos, but don't always comment - I'm getting bad). I really do love my bigger light!! I can't stay away from Ice Yarns - it's an addiction. Well, all yarn, to be honest - I've been doing a bit more crochet, so I always need more yarn 🤣 😊😂
Hey Sweet Lady! So good to hear from you again! My A4 is the same way as far as being finicky & turning off. I am going to order myself an A2 @ the end of this month. Still praying for you & your family. Hope your Christmas & New Year were both great! So good to see you back! God Bless!
Hi Donna!!! It's so good to be back - I really do miss you guys!! You are so right about the finickiness of the A4 - drives me crazy!! I bet the A2 will be fantastic, and give lots of light!! I really do appreciate the prayers! I had a wonderful Christmas and New Year, and I hope you have a wonderful 2019!! God Bless and take care!! 💗💗
Thank you so much for doing this video. I had no idea how these ran. I did order an A4 and can't wait for it to come.
You are so welcome!! I do like my A4, especially for smaller DPs, but as far as brightness of the light, I love my A3 - I need all the help I can get to see better!! 😊 You are going to love having a light board!!
Tfs, seeing the sizes together really helps my visual perception so thank you! I have an A4 and suffer with the cord disconnecting as well so I was looking to invest in an A3 board! This video comparison really cemented it for me and I feel it will be money well spent! Thx again!
I am so glad this helped you!! I am really happy with my A3 - I can see so much better, and the cord is better too. You are so welcome!! Have a great weekend!!
Very interesting! Glad you are feeling better, everyone has been sick here as well, looking forward for all to feel better soon.
I think it's been this crazy weather that has caused me to keep feeling bad. I hope all of you get to feeling better soon!!
I've just stumbled onto diamond painting & have been in lingo on the sizes. Not being able to walk for 14 yrs. & stuck in the bed most of the time, I bought the A-4 1st & will be buying me a larger one for bigger paintings later on. Thank you so very much for your video & reasons you like/dislike each. It was very helpful & will save in me having something yet again that needs to be returned to Amazon. Hope you have a Great Weekend!! 🙋♀️💞
I'm so glad this video helped you! I couldn't believe how much more I like the A3 than the A4, especially when doing larger paintings. The A4 looks so small to me know 😊 If you do smaller paintings, an A4 is fine and will take up less space and not weigh as much. I hope you are able to enjoy diamond painting and find the best and most comfortable way to do it! Take care and enjoy your weekend 😊💖
Your videos just make me happy Thank you
Awwww, thank you so much for your kind words!! 💖💕
Thanks for doing this comparison. I'm a beginner to diamond painting, so I don't have any light pad. I did go out to amazon and added the A3 to my wishlist. I recently completed my first diamond painting and didn't have any trouble seeing the symbols, but I was also sitting under my Ottlight that simulates sunlight. I also do coloring, scrapbooking and cardmaking and using the Ottlight it really helps to see the "true" colors when doing a project.
If you have really good light overhead, you might not need a light board. If at anytime you struggle reading the symbols, you might consider investing in one - it sure did help me!! I don't have a lamp like you have, so that might be all you need 😊💖
Try wish it's a lot CHEAPER
Welcome back Grace and Happy New Year! I have an A2 light pad myself 😊 Love doing all sizes of DPs and while I do round drills, I prefer squares for the details they provide the picture
Thank you so much Viv!! Happy New Year to you too 😊 WOW - I bet the A2 is fantastic!! I like both rounds and squares, but if there is a lot of detail - I go with squares too!!
I have the small one. And I also hate having to move it around. Lol hopefully I’ll get the bigger one next month. Thanks for the video! Hope you had great new year!
Moving it around, and it turning off when I moved it was driving me crazy! I think you would really like the A3 - it's so much brighter and easier to use. I did have a great New Year, hope you did too, and that the rest of the year is fantastic for you!! 😊💗😊
I've just been sold on the A3! Thanks for the comparison. I was on the fence.
I love my A3!!!!
Happy New Year ms Grace. Welcome back. Hope you're feeling better. This is very informative.
Happy New Year to you Rose!! I hope this year is fantastic for you! I feel so much better now, thank you!
Great video very helpful :). Happy new year lovely to see you back 😁
Hi Sonia!! Thank you - I really love the bigger one, because I can see better with it!! Happy New Year to you and hope it is fantastic!! It's good to be back! You know how it is when you don't feel up to doing videos - sometimes, you just can't!! Take care my dear! 💗😊💗
I'm so happy to see you! I did buy a new plug for my cord that had USB plug in with a regular wall plug with a 6 ft cord! It was about $10 and totally worth it! It stays plugged in to my pad sooo much better! I think they just start to have a weaker connection as we use them. (Twisting and turning)
HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!! 🐶
Thank you Debbie - I'm so glad to hear from you!! I love these types of cords - they are so wonderful!! You are right, they do get a weaker connection from having to move them so much, but they do help a lot when looking at the symbols!! God bless you sweet friend!! 💕
Thank you so much! What an informative video!
You are very welcome!! Thank you for commenting and watching!! 😊
Yea!!!! Your back!!!! I missed you so much!!!! Thanks for the info on the light pads! I don't use them yet. :)
Hi Kathleen!!! I'm glad to be back - I miss all of you!! 💗💗💗 I need all the light I can get with my eyes, so I really do like the bigger one. Hope you are doing well!!
I just found this video of yours and it is terrific. I get so confused between the sizes and you are such a big help and your explanation was fantastic. Thank you so much for your video.
I am so glad it helped you!! You are so welcome.
Ohhh how I have missed you Grace! Welcome back. Great video. Learned a lot.
Hi Arlene, you are so sweet - I have missed you guys too!! I love hearing from you - makes me happy 💗😊 I'm glad you liked the video - always nice to hear kind words!!
thank you for the video. It was worth seeing. They both have their qualities. I like the plug in extension as they are always needed now a days.
Yes, they do. I own 2 if these extensions now!! I don't know how I managed without them before 😊
I have the A4 and just heard about the A3. I like both I just might have to get the big one. I have missed you so much and glad to see you back.
Sincerely Angie Schulte of Hector Minnesota.
Hi my sweet friend Angie!! It's so good to be back - I miss you guys when I'm gone!! I really do like the A3, because I can see so much better with it! My eyesight is so bad when I don't have enough light, so it's really helped me a lot!! Take care my dear!! 💗💗
Hi Grace I am glad your feeling better. I have A-2 A-3 & A4 light pads. The A-2 I have had for a long time. I use it for other kinds of art work.
Thank you Terry!! I bet you get a lot of use from the A2. I love my A3 since it is so much brighter and isn't always turning off because of the loose connection wire.
thanks so much for your info on the difference in sizes/lighting for the light boards...i am new working DD and love them and use a smaller board now, but i was considering getting a larger one...so i thank you for the heads up!! great video, your very personable!! have a blessed day!
Thank you 😊
Thanks a ton.. I was 🤔struggling on deciding.. now I know the difference...😁👍
I wish I had known before how much better I would love my A3!! Glad it helped you decide!! 😊💖
Completely agree? I ended up getting both light pads as well, for the same reasons as you. My A3 was disappointng because everything indicated the power supply was the same as your, I deliberately ordered it for that reason. So it was disappointing when it turned up as another micro USB charge cable. USB connections are notorious for failing by falling out. The only way to extend their life, is to avoid unplugging and plugging in all the time, so leave it plugged in, disconnect on the
USB side. For those unsure what we are talking about (forgive me everyone, I don't assume that we all know what we are talking about on technical issues), the small end is the micro connection and the wider end is the USB Don't dispair if your micro USB connection keeps playing up, simply get a knew cable. They do come in different lengths as well as black or white, so just hunt around until you are satisfied with you selection. I like the A4 for small DPs and travelling. I use a power bank to power both of mine, it just makes my life easier and because I can (as they say).
What a disappointment that you didn't get the power supply you wanted on your A3 - that was one of the main reasons I picked the one I did. I do keep my cord plugged into the light board at all times, as that is where it is the most vulnerable. I still use both of them, but I do like how bright the A3 gets - I can see the symbols much better. I don't normally travel with my DPs, I will take crochet with me instead - it's just easier. If I did travel with them, then a power bank would definitely be on my "have to have" list!!
Hi! It’s so nice to see you back...🙋♀️
Hi Gail!!! Thank you so much - glad to be back!! 💗💗
Great video
Thank you so much Leona!! 💗
I just got my A3 today. Really like it. I have a cord issue also. Both are nice to have. They are a must with DP. Missed you and hope you’re on the mend.
I really do like my A3 - I couldn't believe how much better I could see my DPs. Having both of them is great, since there are so many different sizes of paintings!! I missed all of you too - it's good to be back, and I feel much better!! Thank you 💗💗
Hi Mrs. Grace! Glad to see you!💖
Hi Jennifer!! Thank you so much!! 💗😊💗
Happy New Year, glad your back. Had the A4 was giving me too many problems same place you were talking about I switch to the A3 much better. Thanks for the link to the extension cord it’s what I need 👧🏻
Happy New Year to you Lyn!! Thank you - it's great to be back 😊 I really do like the A3 so much better - I can see really well with it!! You are welcome - I love this extension cord!! 💗💗
hi grace and a happy healthy new year to you and your family may i ask your advise i recently done a large painting but when i framed it the wieght of it kinda dragged it down a bit do you have any tips ? 😘😘😘🤗
Hi Charmaine!! I wish you and your family a wonderful, healthy, happy 2019!! Did you tape your DP to the cardboard that is behind it in the frame? I do that to keep it from sliding and moving around in the frame. This is the double-sided tape I used on my huge custom: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LT9K06Y/ref=oh_aui_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
This tape holds very securely! I hope that helps!! If I didn't answer you in the right way - just let me know! 💗🤗😘💗
Would love an A3 one. Do you have clips that come with it to hold your paintings on ??
I do have the clips somewhere, but I don't use them. I have stouter clips I use if I need them. Normally I don't clip my paintings to the light though. I really do like this A3 - I can see so much better.
Great to see you back. Hope you are feeling better. Great review. I have the small light board, but have been thinking about getting the biggest one because I have 3 customs I am working on that are 50 x 60 and this small one just seems to be annoying and not quite bright enough 😊 Keep up the great work and take care.
Hi Cassandra!! Thank you so much - I am feeling much better!! It does get annoying having to move the little one around so much, and when it would turn off because of the little wire getting moved, I would get a little irritated. I really do like this A3 so much better - I can see!! Thank you for your kind words, and you take care too 💗💗
I don’t have the room to work on larger canvases but I hope to someday. I am a newbie to diamond painting. I need to get the A-4. Thank you for sharing! 🙂
Sometimes the larger canvases can get boring, so I like to have smaller ones too. You will love the A4, as it really does help to see the symbols better!! Take care Victoria! 💖💖
Happy New Year Grace, I like that A3 wow that is big haha. I'm so glad you are back again
Hi Annice!! Happy New Year to you - I hope 2019 is a wonderful year for you!! I like the A3 - I need all the help I can get to see better 😀 It's so good to be back - I always miss you guys!! Hope you are doing well!! 💗💗
Oh, that great Grace. I miss you too. Yes we all are well thanks
Welcome back Grace. Hope you and the family is well. I have a4 but want a a3.
Thank you Laura!! I feel so much better, and my brother says he is feeling better too!! I had the A4 for quite awhile before I decided on the A3. I am so glad I have it now, because it sure does help me see better!! 😊💗
This was very helpful, tfs 🌹
You are so welcome!! 💖
Happy New Year Grace, glad to have you back! Thanks for the video, very informative. I have the A4 and think I may have to have the A3.....🤭 Hugs and best wishes.🤗
Hi Deb!! Happy New Year to you, and may it be the best!! I am so glad to be back - I miss you guys when I'm gone!! I liked my A4, but this A3 has really helped me see better, so yeah - you need it 😀😀 Hugs and love to you!! 💗🤗💗
I just purchased a Craftymint 19" light pad and i received it today. How did i ever do Diamond Painting without this thing? It is wonderful and well worth the price of 49.00 that i paid for it. I love the 10 ft cord and the fact that it isnt a usb cord. There are many different light pads on Amazon, many cheaper than mine and a few more expensive than mine but after doing lots of research and reading endless reviews on many of them i decided to buy the craftymint brand lightpad and i have no regrets. This does not disappoint. It is also white which i think looks classy. My Craftymint light pad just took my diamond painting to a whole new level.
I have the small one and I am having trouble seeing it. Think i will be getting the big one next month. Welcome back.
I was having trouble with the smaller one too - I really do like this bigger one! I can see so much better!! Thank you so much - it's good to be back! 💗💗
Hello lovely lady! I like my A-4. It works well! Thank you so much for the information! Helps out. I hope that you are doing well my fabulous, wonderful friend! I miss you!Still praying for you and your family. 💙💕✝
Hi dear friend - it's so good to be back!! The weather is so crazy around here. I still like my A4, but I also like the brighter light on the A3 - I need all the help I can get to see 😀 Take care my awesome friend and thank you so much for keeping us in your prayers - you are in mine too!! 🙏💗🌸
Happy New Year and thanks for this comparison. I will be buying a bigger light pad myself as the one I bought (A5 super tiny compared to even the A4) as you mentioned I kept having to move it around too much while doing a 40x50cm. Then again, that's what I get for not paying attention to the actual size (that one click buy Amazon button is going to be the death of me 😂😂😂).
I know what you mean about that one-click button!! I had to stop using it, because I ended up buying things without even realizing it 😂 I just love Amazon!! I bet that A5 is really tiny. When you get a bigger one - you will be amazed at the difference!! Watch out for that button 🤣🤣🤣
I have both as well. I prefer the larger one, even when doing smaller paintings. I tape them to the A3 pad
That's a great idea to tape them on!! Thanks for the tip 😊
Grace, after watching your video I now want to purchase an A3 size light pad. Great video.🐸I used double sided tape and taped that rubberized ‘drawer saver contact paper’ onto the bottom of my light pad so it wouldn’t slide around on my table.
I love my A3 light pad - it's pretty much all I use now! That's a great idea to put that on the bottom of the light pad!! Thanks for sharing
Hi my friend I have had the smaller one for years and didn’t like how the edges got hot 🥵 . But recently I have been looking on Amazon my favorite place for a different light pad and I saw the A45,A4 and A3 and wanted to know the difference. So I UA-camd you and now I’m getting the A3 also I’m looking into the rechargeable ones. As a crafter there’re so many things to learn and do.Thank you very much ❤️🙏🏾
Hi Hugette!! There are so many things out there to buy - that is for sure!!! I thought showing the difference between a couple of them, might help people make up there minds! I love my A3 board, and that's pretty much the one I use most of the time. You are so welcome!! 💖🤗🥰
I have the smaller one, but thinking about getting the A3 bigger light pad for my bigger diamond art painting. I find these very helpful as I have problems with my vision 😃
I have a horrible time with my vision too. We have to do what is best for us to save our eyesight!!
@@gbmaltese yes this is true we have to look after ourselves xx❤️🙂
I'm wondering can i use a5 size for big size diamond painting? Because my mum not planning to buy more than 1
An A5 is very small, and I'm not sure I would want to use that size to work on a large diamond painting. I suggest an A3 - I love mine, or at least an A4 if you can't afford the A3. 😊💖
gbmaltese oh I meant a3, I keep confusing paper size and number doesn’t go up the way I think it is
I have the cricut lightboard. I use it all the time. I love it 🥰
I love using my lightboard - it really does help!!!
Your back! Yeah!
Thank you!! It's so good to be back 💗💗
I’m just starting out. Would working with a 25x25 work good with the smaller one? I don’t want to have to move it around,
If your DP is 25cm x 25cm, then the smaller one would work just fine. If you are going to do larger DPs at some point, you might want a larger one. I started with the A4 to begin with and then got the A3 as I started doing larger paintings.
I have the smaller one from Artdot. Unfortunately it only lasted 4 months. Now it will not light up, so I have to think about getting a new one, soon. As we know, these paintings are addicting.
They are definitely addicting 😊
Thank u I need the bigger one but wasn't sure which one was the bigger one.
I like my A3 the best - it's a good size.
@@gbmaltese thank you thats what I need. My eyes aren't what they used to be
hello! great video, i got the A3 an im new to the diamond painting world i’m really excited! 🥰 my first one i ordered is my customized Diamond painting of me an my boyfriend which is 50x70cm 20x28in round drills i had the square drills for it at first an i had it changed to the round because i was nervous 😆 i just how it looks good as the round🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 but if i had a small painting, an it isn’t covering the hole light pad does the lights really hurt your eyes?
I really like my size A3 the best. One day you will fell up to doing squares and find out their really not that hard 😊 They take a little more patience to start with, but then you get used to them and start flying along with them!!l You are going to love your custom DP - it's so much fun to see the picture come to life!! It will look fine in rounds, since it is a large size.
The light has never hurt my eyes when the painting doesn't cover the whole thing, but if it bothers you, you can always cover the lighted areas.
awesome thankyou so much that gives me soo comfort knowing the round drills will look good since it’s a big painting. an thankyou so much for your advice!❤️ i love your videos an will keep watching an learning! keep up the great work! 😘
@@mccauliejohnson9328 Thank you!! 🥰
my costume diamond painting ended up coming Square drills, from a professional like you in my eyes, for it being a 20x28 inch do you think it will look good? it’s a costume picture of me and my boyfriend. i’m super nervous but excited to begin it
@@mccauliejohnson9328 It will look fantastic in squares!! Have fun working on it!
Have you found an a4 lightpad with a fixed connector cord too? I have only just received one and I am really dissatisfied with the usb connector as it is finicky on mine too. If you could post a link to a good a4 with a fixed connection cord that would be great. I have just received my a3 so I’m excited to use it! Thanks!
I haven't seen any a4's with that type of connector - sorry. I use my A3 all of the time now - I love the way it has a fixed connector cord! Good luck finding one!!

what is the name of the A3 board you have featured i would like to order it is it available on Amazon
Here is a link to the one shown in the video: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0755D5CLS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
Please is there a protective coating we can put on the diamond paintings ?
When I finish a DP, I either frame it under acrylic or under glass, or I use Liquitex High Gloss Varnish. Here is a link to a video I did using that sealer: ua-cam.com/video/kzc97m83Zb0/v-deo.html
I was wondering if you can use in light board and put like lime paper behind it and use it for taking notes?
I don't know. I've never used it for that
Yea.... you were missed. Happy New Year friend.☺
Thank you so much - you are so sweet!! I really miss you guys when I'm gone - you are so special!! Happy New Year to year dear friend! 😊💗
I have missed you so much!
Awwww, thank you Shannon!! I have missed all of you too - I love hearing from you 💗💗
I have a A4. What about an B4 or B3? Not sure what the size is. Is that a bigger size? Thank you! 💯🤗💞
I have never seen a B4 or B3, but I think they might be a bit bigger. They should have the sizes posted on the sites where you look though😊💖🌺
What is the brand of the light box. The large one. And how much was it. Thank you
I put a link to where I bought it on Amazon, but here is the link again: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0755D5CLS/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You can see the brand and price on this link. It was one of the best prices I could find on this size of light box
I have the a4 ,I'm looking that the a3 , my daughter and I have a lot of painting we will be doing as Christmas gifts this year
I love my A3, especially if you work on larger paintings! Have fun doing your DPs with your daughter!!!
Nice to see again. I was wondering if they sold larger light board
Thank you - it's good to be back 😊 They do!! This is the cheapest A3 that I could find, and I really like it!
What does the cable/plug for a3 called? I lost my adapter and I dont know what to buy. Thanks
I guess it's called an electrical adapter - I really don't know. Sorry, wish I could help.
i have an a4 pad and looking to upgrade...have you ever used a stand with your light pad and if so is it worse or better
I love my A3 light pad! I do have an easel for my light pad, but don't use it that often. I find working on my diamond paintings to be easier lying flat on the table. If you have neck pain, an easel does help with that.
Thanks just ordered the light pad and extension that you showed. I can't wait to get it
Hi Grace! Happy New Year 🎆
Hi Rose!! Happy New Year to you!! 💗🎇💗
Do you use something other than the pink wax? Like the locktite fun tac
I use the A4, I like 30 x 40 up to 50x50 other than that they are either to small or to large.
I've tried all types of the tacky stuff, and for some reason, I keep going back to my pink wax. Maybe I'm just weird😀
I think I like the 30 x 40 the best. Like you said the others start getting too small or way to big!!
Hi Grace, Happy New Year!!! 🥂🎆🍾
Hi Millie!! Happy New Year to you - may it be a fantastic year!! 💗🎇💗
Were you get diamond pic at that clear canvas?
Diamond Art Club
Oh ok i get about 3 to 6 nice clear on Amazon and they get that see could not see what pic on at before you start diamond art pic that i think go see what other place for diamond pic and went i do with at can see what pic was beause color to dark or canvas to dark
hi can I ask if this is great for viewing camera negatives please. so I can capture images of it
I really don't know. I've never used it for that.
Please can you tell me what the paper stuff with all the numbers is and how to use it it?
I'm guessing you are talking about the diamond painting that I am showing. I have several videos showing how to do this - it is a really fun hobby. It's kind of like paint by numbers, but you are putting colored pieces of shiny plastic down instead of paint, to make a picture. Hope that answers your question.
@@gbmaltese Ah ok cool thank you. :)
Grace can you post the link for the larger one please you said you were and i don't see it
The link was under the Show More tab, but I will link it right here for you 😊
A3 light board: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0755D5CLS/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
good to see you back. I am still enjoying the board you gifted me its really en eye saver😉look forward to seeing your yarn purchases. have you purchased aby LTD diamond paintings???? Blessings hermanita 😘
Thank you sweetie - it's good to be back!! I actually bought this big one after I bought that one for you 😊 I loved how it looked and how bright it is!! I will be showing my yarn soon 😀 I do have an LED DP - I showed it a few weeks ago. I still need to finish it!! Love you hermanita!! Take care😘💗
gbmaltese I must have missed it holidays were buzy here I will ck it out
You went quickly and it was difficult to remember which was A3 or A4. I still don't know the difference between the different light boards. When you said this board looks like this and this board looks like that, I wasn't sure which board was which after a couple of switches.
I wondered if the LED was brighter in one type of board than another. Or if the difference was just the size and one was larger than the other. There must be a distinct electrical difference between the boards or they would just call them sm, med or lg. I'm so confused. 😔
The A3 is the bigger one
@@gbmaltese Can you give me the description of the A3 so I can order.. I am not sure where to find it.. ty
what seller on amazon and how much for the A4
Link to A4 is: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01M26S3VY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It costs $21.29
Is the b4 led light pad the same size as a3. I so confused on the sizes.. I have the a4 and I know it definitely looks smaller than the others.. please help because I plan on purchasing a bigger one tomorrow
An A3 is bigger than a B4
@@gbmaltese by how much because I looked them up and a3 is only bigger by a few centimeters
@@natashaballard1581 You just asked which one is bigger. It seems as if you already know by how much. It's up to you, which size you prefer - you're the one using it.
Thanks for all your help
I just ordered the A4 from Amazon. I think I will upgrade to the A3 later.
I waited until I made sure I was going to like diamond painting a lot before I got my A3! Good idea to wait a bit
Thought I had watched all your 2019 video's but I guess not. Good description of light boards. Have you bought even a bigger one?
No, I am still using the A3 that I show in this video!! I think it's big enough for me right now 😊 I really like that size.
I'm a rookie with no knowledge of these lightboards. I understand the difference between A4 and A3 and A2. No problem there. but what are all those small numbered boxes? Looks like they are for colored pencils. I want to use darker monocolors only... lighter and darker charcoal-like. It looks like you're using some kind of unique tracing paper as well... probably expensive. Can you tell me what that paper is? As a novice, I'll probably not use colors. Are you buying premade color patterns? Available in darker sepia/charcoal tones?
I just use my light boards to help me see the symbols on my diamond paintings better, I'm really not sure what you are asking.
Please tell me the size of the lights
They are an A3 and an A4
A3 is the bigger board you are showing?
Yes, the A3 is the bigger board.
Hi Grace, missed you, so happy to see your lovely smiling face, pray all is well with you and your family. Thank you for your comparisons. Thinking of getting a. Larger light.
Hi Jessie!! Thank you for your kind words 😊 I finally decided on getting a bigger one when I had that huge custom I was working on. It was hard to keep moving the light around underneath it. The larger one seems to get brighter too!! 😊💖
My a4 is the same way with the cord and i ended up taping the cord in the right spot
That's a great idea!! The movement of the cord causes it to get loose, so tape would be great!
I'm going to order the extension cord that is so cool also I just recieved my A-3 lightpad and I love it much better then the smaller one.
I love this extension cord, because I can plug whatever I need into it!! Isn't the A3 great!! I really do like it so much better than the smaller one - I can really see everything and it doesn't turn off all of the time when I move it!💗
Thx so much I'm visually impartial & didn't understand what the # ment.
You are so welcome!! 💗🌺💕
@@gbmaltese I 💛 a challenge. I got a diamond painting 4 my b-day; I thought having a light box would help with lots of other stuff also. The resson my 👁 r so bad. I was born @ 20wks 6 days. With brain cancer. Nearly died 5x. The other eye was damaged from 2 much oxygen. Oh well. No biggie lol.
@@shyfillie3368 Oh my goodness, you really had a rough start in life!! I really think a light board would help you, as it helps make the symbols brighter and easier to see. It's also perfect if you want to trace something or other types of crafts. Take care and have a wonderful weekend!! 💖🌺🌼
Are those paint by number?
No, they are diamond paintings.
@@gbmaltese I’m confused about the difference. Sticker paint by number?
@@user-pt1cz4ot1e Do a search on UA-cam for Diamond Painting, and you will see lot of videos on how to diamond paint.
Could you give me links to both light pads and charger
This is the link to the A3 light pad: www.amazon.com/dp/B0755D5CLS/?ref=exp_gbmaltese_dp_vv_d
A4 light pad: www.amazon.com/dp/B01M26S3VY/?ref=exp_gbmaltese_dp_vv_d
Charger: www.amazon.com/dp/B076R9Z6BY/?ref=exp_gbmaltese_dp_vv_d
The link to a4 says cant be found
@@tamalajade I guess they don't sell that one anymore, but that is the one I purchased. You might want to look up A4 light board and see what you can find.
@@gbmaltese I got the A3..thank you
Hello GBMaltese I am going to ordered the A2 for my wife. My wife wants to try diamond painting. Just sub. Thank you for your video .
You are so welcome!! I have an A2 now, and it is quite large. She will be able to do some really big diamond paintings on it!! This is a fun and addictive hobby.
My A4 has plastic film on it there was no directions . What do I do with the film ?!
They all come with a plastic film on them - you need to take it off. It is there to protect it during shipping
When I pull it up the screen goes dark .
@@FlyguyLV Sounds like you have a faulty light pad.
Do you think the A3 is larger than the A2
The A2 is much bigger.
Thank you, one day I'll graduate to an A1.😲♥️
I apologize It was supposed to read one day I will graduate to an A1 from an A2
@@bammc3179 No problem - it's easy to get confused with all those numbers Lol. An A1 will be HUGE!!
Does anyone know which is brighter the A2, A3 or A4 ?????????????
I have one of each now, and I would have to say my A2 get really bright. Here is a link to the video I did on it: ua-cam.com/video/UnzvopmSdt0/v-deo.html
Hope that helps
I have both sizes but prefer my A3, I got my A4 one from diamond painting.com but it has a grid on it and I hate it
I'm with you - the A3 is so much easier to see with!! I would hate a grid on it too - seems like it would be hard to see with that on there.
I have the A4 I think I would the big one
I really do like my A3 - I can see so much better!!
Just get the A3 and you can use A4 to A3 size best of both worlds
I definitely like my A3 the best.
