What is the lead diameter of these pencils?
The lead diameter is 6.3 mm.
Are these pencils suitable for professional artists?
Yes, the high-quality pigments and smooth laydown make them suitable for many artistic applications, particularly where vibrant, bold colors are desired.
How many colors are in this specific neon set?
This particular set contains 6 neon colors: Lum. Yellow, Lum. Orange, Lum. Pink, Lum. Violet, Lum. Blue, and Lum. Green.
What does 'PEFC certified wood' mean?

Can I use these pencils on dark paper?
The neon colors are designed to be bright and should show up on lighter surfaces. For best results on dark paper, consider using them in conjunction with lighter-colored pencils or markers.
Troubleshooting
Pencil lead breaks easily during sharpening.
Ensure you are using a sharpener specifically designed for jumbo or large-diameter pencils. Apply gentle, consistent pressure when sharpening.
Colors appear less vibrant than expected.
Apply more pressure on the paper. Ensure the pencil tip is sufficiently sharpened for a good point. Try using a smoother paper type.
Pencil doesn't fit in my existing sharpener.
This is expected due to the larger diameter. Purchase a compatible sharpener for jumbo pencils. A craft knife can also be used with care.
Pros and Cons

- Comfortable to hold for extended periods, suitable for all ages.
- Durable construction with high-quality wood.
- Unique neon shades that add impact to artwork.
- Environmentally friendly with PEFC certified wood.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These pencils require no setup. Simply remove them from the packaging and begin drawing.
Compatibility:
- Sharpening: Due to the larger lead diameter (6.3mm) and pencil body (1 cm), standard sharpeners may not be compatible. A sharpener designed for jumbo or large-diameter pencils is recommended.
- Pencil Cases: The 1 cm diameter means they may not fit in all standard pencil cases. Larger or specialized cases are advisable.
- Paper Types: Perform well on most paper types, though thicker, smoother paper can enhance the vibrant laydown.
Care:
- Store pencils in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve color intensity.
- Keep the barrel clean by wiping with a dry or slightly damp cloth if it becomes dusty.
- Avoid dropping the pencils, as the thick core, while durable, can still break if subjected to significant impact.
