FAQs
Does this board come with batteries?
No, the light board is powered via a micro-USB cable and does not contain an internal battery.
Can I use any paper with this board?
Yes, but for the best results, use thin or translucent paper that allows the light to shine through clearly.
Is the light adjustable?
Yes, the board features adjustable brightness levels to accommodate different environments.
What is the age recommendation for this product?
This kit is designed for children interested in fashion design, typically recommended for ages 6 and up.
Are the gems and stickers reusable?
The stickers are generally single-use, while the gems can be applied once to finish your design.
Troubleshooting
The light board will not turn on.
Verify that the micro-USB cable is fully seated in the board port and that the power source (adapter or power bank) is active and providing 5V.
The light seems too dim to see through the paper.
Adjust the brightness settings on the board. If it remains dim, ensure you are using the included tracing paper rather than heavy drawing paper.
The paper keeps sliding around while drawing.
Use a small piece of the included washi tape to secure the corners of your tracing paper to the light board frame.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the board is straightforward: connect the provided micro-USB cord to the board and an appropriate 5V power source, such as a laptop port, wall adapter, or power bank. Once powered, use the touch-sensitive brightness controls to find the desired intensity.
To ensure the longevity of your light board:
- Surface Care: Clean the acrylic surface only with a soft, dry microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or liquids that might scratch the light-diffusing layer.
- Cable Management: Use the included micro-USB cable with care. Avoid bending the connection point sharply to prevent damage to the port.
- Storage: When not in use, store the board in a flat, protected space to prevent the thin surface from being crushed or warped under heavy items.
- Surface Protection: Always use the included tracing pages or similar lightweight paper. Very thick cardstock may reduce the effectiveness of the LED light penetration.
