BrightPad and Light Pad Comparison: Which is best?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
- I am comparing several different models of the Cricut BrightPad to a few light pads that I found on Amazon. Which works best? Which do I recommend? I am testing them all to see how bright they are, how well I can see the lines, and if they are scratch-resistant. You don't want to miss the results especially if you are in the market for a lightbox for your Cricut crafts!

I love that I can always count on Angie to give a detailed review and comparison. Thank you so much. Definitely needed this!
You are so welcome!
Again Angie another grateful help video! Thank you for sharing Liz x
Loved the comparison! Thank you so much for your input!! I will definitely be purchasing one in the next few days and your input has weeded down my search!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you awesome!! As a grandma definitely meet a light box!!😅
Thanks, Angie, for this comparison video. I had been debating whether to purchase a lightbox for weeding and you helped me to find the right one. Huge fan !
You are so welcome!
Great video!! Thank you and i decide definitely for the brightpad go! Cause I have 2 years using glasses and i hope it can help me to make easy my work.. thank u so much!
Angie, Thanks for another great product comparison! I own the BrightPad Go and Love it. I was in the market for a second device to use primarily for coloring pages. After viewing your video I decided to try the iVyne Light Pad and it works great, especially for intricate or stained glass type designs.
Good to hear! I really love that one!
I listened to you and got a light pad and wedding gritter vinyl it is so much easier. I did everything u explained. And know I love my light pad. Thank you Angie for explaining everything slowly and with detail.
Wonderful!
Excellent review! Tonight I almost bought that flimsy pink one you didn't like from Amazon. Good thing I hesitated!
You are really helping me due to I’m seeking to know how to work the vinyl.
Thank you for this. You did a great comparison. I think I will go with the IVyne after this comparison!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks! I thought this was a waste of money but the more detailed I get with my projects, the more I wish I had one! Going to save the $$ and get the iVyne!
Good luck!
Angie, you’re a beast!! Love it. Thank you!
Glad you liked it!!
great comparison
I happen to be lucky to have a dining room light that was installed during our apartment remodel that allows me to see all my lines. After I cut my vinyl, I go over to my dining room table and start the weeding process. I found that even having light or an LED light at a slight angle will make the lines more seeable. Light tables and light pads have been around for a long while before Cricut. Cricut didn't invent these, they have been around for a long time use by animators, artists, and photographers. I had my first portable light top since high school in the '80s and later gave it to an animator friend who needed one for a freelance amination job. It weighed about 25 lbs and was made of wood and had a frosted glass top. These are nice and lightweight and I love those that are rechargeable.
thanks you sold me on the IVyne, ordering today!
Awesome!
I bought a light pad just recently and I use it for tracing images and as lighting for macro photography and if I did cutouts I know it will work well ,as it has more than one kind of use.
Hi, Angie! I purchased the iVyne Light Pad after searching for light pads and your video came up. I was saving for a Cricut Bright Pad, but after watching your video and seeing that the Cricut brand and the iVyne brand were similar, I purchased the iVyne as it was more affordable. Thank you for your comparison video.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for this video you really helped me make my decision thank you! Great video! I like the uncorded version too!
I have the bright pad, because the on with the cord was on sale at target and I love it. ❤️
Try the cutterpillar glow. I have the cordless version. They have different sizes
Oh thanks!
Got my iVyne Berry in green yesterday and I love it!. So much better than the Amazon one I bought last year. Thank you so much for the comparisons. I like how it is slightly raised and does not lay completely flat. What do you use to store it in when you are on the go? I was thinking maybe a laptop sleeve would work?
Yes! I use a laptop sleeve!
I use my light pad for Diamond Painting more than weeding.
I struggle all the time! I end up using my phone for glitter vinyl🤦 I definitely need this!
It is so hard to see!
Lol, I use my phone too. I just ordered my brightpad.
Thank you for the comparison. Just wondering if you can use the cordless pad while they are charging or plugged in.
Yes you can!
Thanks for sharing! Would this also help with light colored regular vinyl?
Of course!
I got a Amazon bright light and I love it is not cricut
Awesome! I definitely think there are ones on Amazon that are amazing!
Hey Angie. I'm interested in buying it for illustrations and artwork.. will it work for those purposes too? I've been reading in the comments a lot about vinyl.
I would think the same things I tested would be applicable to your use as well.
We can use the light pad work on iron on vinyl?
Yes! Definitely!
Have you tried the crayola tracing pad?
I haven't tried that!
Is there a difference between butchers paper and parchment paper when using for mug press? And also,does it matter what colour the butchers paper is. I’ve seen brown and white
White butcher paper. Parchment paper should not be used. I am working on a video actually.
@@AngieHolden great minds think alike👍🏻
Are any of them good or useful for Infusible??
Sure! You can use for Infusible Ink. I tend to be able to see those lines though.
I need one of them lol
Angie, this may seem like a silly comment, but why don’t you just replace the cable to your original Bright Pad? Any micro USB cable should work (just tried it with my original Bright Pad, using both the original plug with a different cable and a whole separate plug and cable combo. Both of which worked perfectly. And, micro USB cables can be purchased up to 10’ in length, which was my main complaint with the original cable (just too short). Got a longer cable and problem solved!
I also use my Bright Pad when diamond painting as it often makes the codes more readable.
I am not sure if it is the cable or the plug in the brightpad? It may be the cable but still SUPER annoying for something that costs so much.
@@AngieHolden Angie, I noticed it seemed to be the length of the cable itself you were having to jigger around and not so much where it connected the the Bright Pad. Try a different cable you know is good and if the problem persists, you know it is the Bright Pad and not just the cable
There is an app on your iPad. Light Box.
I probably am not going to use sharp tools on top of my iPad.
Is there a difference in the actual lit area of these pads?
I meant area size.
The Amazon ones are a LITTLE larger than the brightpads. Not a ton but a little.
I'm confused on why if the brightpadgo has hardness level of 6h and the brightpad mint is 4h how the go scratched worse than the mint.
Sorry not sure. All I can tell you is what happened when I tried to scratch them.
my ivyne berry never stuck down :/
Really? Mine definitely does!
👍👍👍❤❤❤💕💕❤❤❤
Do you still have the same recommendation?
Yep!
