Everyone who has a GBA knows the screen is darker than Darth Vader, so what is the best light? So far I have a Logic 3 and Joytech but they both avoid lighting the bottomhalf of the screen! Maybe if Nintendo released miners hats to match your GBA you could see what your playing and be protected from angry PS2 owners throwing stones at your head because you said Mario Kart is better than GT3! HA!

i had a worm light for the game boy color (that was crap) but it won't work on the GBA as it fits in upside sown!

I've heard that the "Glow Guard" is the best light.

Although it's £9.99 ( a bit more expensive than the rest )

However every mag I've read has given it the top score. The thing is, I can't find the blooming thing anywhere!

Anyway....going back to the light business - Now then...

I unfortunately wasted my 5 reddies on a GameBoy Advance light from Special Reserve.

The bulb is the size of a pin, therefore, if the screen was the size of the power light, then it would be perfect. I'm really annoyed because my reddies would have been much more useful for another free gift.

So basically check out the light before you get it. I think this is a matter of - the more expensive the lights are the ones with bigger bulbs, will be the best.

Sorry SR, but i was really disappointed!

JAT stands for "Just Arrived Today".

If your nickname is red, like yours, then you are a JAT.

You signed up to SR either today or yesterday.

I was going to get a wormlight but I wont bother now. I think the one with twin lights must be the best.

What the hell is a JAT?

Cor Blimey! So many JATs around here nowadays.

Not quite sure which one is the best, but the good ones are the ones that are built into a light magnifier. The worm light is absolute cack. I should know, I've got one!

Welcome to the forum.
