Q: Has anyone noticed that the corners of the light brite board do not have lights. Ours barely illuminates the corners and upon inspection there are no LED lights in the top left and bottom right corner.

submitted by DblA - 3 years ago
  • A: Just bought this for my grandson. So excited to give it to him. I wish I hadn’t wasted my money. Doesn’t really illuminate hardly at all. The one I had as a kid was much better.

    submitted byGerryL - 3 years ago
  • A: Hi there, thank you for your inquiry into the latest Lite Brite! Lite Brite, following modern toy & safety tests and regulations, was built using 6 LED lights that are located underneath the face of the tablet. They are strategically positioned to help light up the entire board no matter where the pegs are located. The pegs nearest to the LED lights will tend to shine a bit brighter while the pegs with the farthest length from the lights, will tend to be not as bright but all pegs will glow against these 6 LED Lights. The pegs were even re-built this year with a glossier texture to help shine brighter and be more colorful! Lite Brite has 4 different light displays activated by pushing the button on the back. If you have any inquiries on this, please email us at www.basicfun.com/support - we are here to help you and create the best Lite Brite experience that you can have. Enjoy creating art with light! Thank you! - Your Friends at Basic Fun

Q: Where are the templates?

submitted by Tia888888888 - 6 years ago
  • A: There should be 2 included, and the directions lead you to a website ("the bridge direct") where you can download and print more, but it's unclear how you would get them scaled just right.

    submitted bycarmen - 5 years ago
  • A: I cant find them either. Unless they were taped inside the box and we didn't see them, they are now in the trash. Very frustrating

Q: Why is it that only a few pegs light up at the top row of the device? Also, it doesn't seem like all areas light up. Is my device defective?

Q: Hi Do these pegs go with the old original lite bright ?

submitted by magdy khalil - 4 months ago
  • A: Hi there, no these pegs are not compatible with the original Lite Brite. Lite Brite has been manufactured by different companies over the years - every company that produces an item has it's own scale that they use. The pegs and templates compatibility (if they are compatible with several different units) would be only with in that companies portfolio. Basic Fun has been making Lite Brite since 2016 - we have several different template styles NOW (as of recently only - this year) that have pegs that will work in several different units. But none of our pegs will work in a non Basic Fun produced unit. Hope this helps you - but if you have any further questions - please contact us directly on our Basic Fun website (www.basicfun.com). - Your Friends at Basic Fun (Basic Fun licenses Lite Brite from Hasbro)

Disappointed Gram - 16 days ago, Verified purchaser
I’ve purchased/exchanged for 3. None of them light up correctly. Shouldn’t EVERY peg light up brightly? I was so exited to give this gift to my grandson and it’s been a bust 3 times! What are you producing and selling? I’ve purchased new batteries, let it warm up, etc. I’m VERY angry this is such a disappointment! Take some pride and produce a working product!

It is very cheap quality and not a fan that the paper goes on the outside, I thought it would slide in somewhere. When you press to put the pegs in, it tips over. Also, hopefully you are okay with not having all the right colors to finish the pictures. Disappointing…

Fun but as others said there's not many lights so you can barely see the pegs light up. Also the one we received didn't have enough pegs for the paper designs. They were alway one or two short of the colors that were on the sheets.

To change the design papers, you have to unscrew 8 screws and then screw them back in. Ugh. Also the kickstand doesn't work at all.

Jenny - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
Reminds me of my childhood for sure. Personally Im not a fan of the batteries because they run out quickly however it works as advertised. Screen is a little smaller and holes are too spread apart so if you try to make your own design you have to figure out to even things out. But other than those two things my little one enjoys it. I also appreciate the fact that you can print out extra designs online. I recommend for on the go trips or just in general.

This is not the Lite Brite you grew up with. This is a cheap, poor quality version. It's incredibly flimsy. The lights aren't evenly distributed so it doesn't look good lit up. I'd rather pay double for a halfway decent version of a Lite Brite.

Happy Mommy - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
Very cheap version. Was not supplied enough pegs to even complete the first attempted picture. Comes with only 5 or 6 project pictures. Markings often did not line up well with holes. Instructions for how to turn the light on are not printed in the instructions. Trying to remember back to my first Lite Brite...I seem to remember there either was a clip for the project paper or you slid it into the front frame? On this model you just lay it on top and we had choose to pin each quadrant with the first four pegs to keep it from moving/falling off of the frame. For the price they definitely could have done better all the way around!! BTW, extra pegs were $7.99 for a small box. Shameful! You shouldn't need to buy an extra box to complete a picture! I was looking forward to sharing this memory with my granddaughter, but it was spoiled by the quality.

frustrated - 3 months ago
I didn't write what follows, but it was my exact experience, why reinvent the wheel: You have got to be kidding me. What a massive let down. ... Once we put batteries in and powered it on, almost the entire top left corner was dark. I removed the rear cover in hopes that a wire had come loose or an LED had fell out of place. No such luck, there was no LED there at all. The way this is configured, there is no lights in the top left and bottom right corners. This creates dead zones basically. There are actually fixtures there for the LED's but they just don't put them in. So I now have a very bummed 7 year old and no way to fix this problem. Another victim of outsourced production. Actually Hasbro doesn't even make these anymore, that should have been my first hint. Don't waste your money. I will add separately that there are no instructions whatsoever, some people have said you have to disassemble the entire thing to replace the paper, who knows if that's even the intent or if you are supposed to just lay the paper on top - this pales in comparison to the fact that it neither lights up or is "brite". There are also very few pegs - i mean, these pegs can't cost anything to manufacture, but they still skimp on them.

We are so sorry to hear you are disappointed in the Lite Brite. I will definitely pass this along to all appropriate parties here to ensure your opinion is taken into consideration. Lite Brite was relaunched into the market in 2016, inspired by the original but also having to follow modern toy & safety tests and regulations to keep kids safe. We tried to capture the essence of what made Lite Brite so successful over the years which is the magic of making art with light! We built the Lite Brite using 6 LED lights that are located underneath the face of the tablet. They are strategically positioned to help light up the entire board no matter where the pegs are located. The pegs were even re-built with a glossier texture to help shine brighter and be more colorful! Lite Brite has 4 different light displays activating by pushing the button which will give variety to your artwork. The stand will serve as more of an end result easel since it's too hard to push the pegs thru when the tablet is not sitting on a table or on your lap. So you will build your artwork first - then stand it up to show it off! I hope this helps you - but if you have any further inquiries, please contact us on either www.basicfun.com or by calling us at 561-208-7970 - and enjoy creating art with lite! Free templates are available for download on www.basicfun.com - under Toys & Lite Brite - then "downloads" as well. - Your Friends at Basic Fun
