The Game Boy Color was yet another Nintendo console that those 90's kids couldn't play in the dark! Frontlight panels offer screen illumination when backlights won't make the cut. Screen lighting technology has made it possible to illuminate an image below while still providing a clear view.Â

Tips:
Ultraviolet light is required to cure LOCA. You can use a UV curing light or bright sunlight in order to do this.Â
