This CutterPillar Glow Basic LED Lightpad is a fully functional LED light tablet and cutting mat. This tablet has many uses but is best designed for craft enthusiasts. Useful for embroidery, cross-stitching, applique, tracing, pattern transfers, and more. The Glow Basic has three levels of LED illumination controlled by a convenient switch, so you get the most comfortable lighting environment possible. The flicker-free LED lights never get hot to the touch and last up to 50,000 hours. It comes with a one-of-a-kind translucent, non-slip, self-healing cutting mat that allows for extended cutting with most cutting tools, i.e., rotary cutters and craft blades. The mat even has easy-to-see grid lines, as well as multiple rulers and angles. Cutterpillar's Glow Basic is plug-in only, but it does come with a USB cord and wall plug. You can also use it with most USB power sources like a sewing machine or computer. The Glow Basic measures approximately 13" by 19" and has a lighted area of 12" by 16".
