5 Halo Light reviews are
in from the customers who bought them!
#1 COOLEST THING FOR GBA
EVER
Wow! What a light! This is the coolest thing for gameboy advance ever. Definite
buy. any night time gamer has to have this.
PROS:
It is EASY to install,
takes about 5 minutes!
The top piece is easily
removed in like 5 seconds (when the top piece is removed it looks like an ordinary
unmoddified gameboy!
The passthru port on the
flat part of the top piece allows you to use your e-reader, wormcam, and most
other devices.
!!! Better than the
Afterburner in light quality (Doesnt distort or washout colors) !!!
!!! Lights the screen
BRIGTHER than the Afterburner !!!
CONS: Battery usage not
so great. With 2 new Alkalines you can expect about 6 hours, with a rechargable
battery pack youll get about 4 hours :( Bottom line is this: This is ABSOLUTELY
the best light (even better than the afterburner)! but it comes at a cost of
battery life, but if you have a few rechargable packs this shouldnt interrupt
your gameplay!
#2 FINALLY MORE FOUND MORE INFO.
I finally found what the Halo Light looks like all around and how to install
it. YES, it does have a link port on top of it and it is as good as the
afterburner light I've heard so much about, but difficult to setup, well, this
cost a little more, but looks well worth it to me, no hassles. It should fit
right into your pocket or any case you got, heard you are able to take the top
off, so if you think you can't, you can. A must-buy for any Gameboy Advance
user.
#3 THIS IS BETTER THAN
THE NEW GAMEBOY SP AS FAR AS LIGHT
I saw the new gameboy spa at gamecon and it didnt impress me at
all..escpecially the light..this type of light has been available on the net
for some time-afterburner but was a pain to install..now this does the same and
is easier to install..its worth it for me..
#4 PEOPLE?
i'd like to clear up a few misconceptions about this light. first of all there
is no problem with it taking up the link port. it has a pass-thru port just
like many other lights. also, the new Gameboy Advance SP doesn't have a
backlight. it has a frontlight. the SP can not light up like a TV, as the Halo
Light does. the frontlight will be just like any old light you can buy in a
store, but its inside the SP. please get all the facts before you start bashing
a product. if you don't beleive me read online reviews on the GBA SP.
#5 DOES NOT VOID YOUR
WARRANTY.
Despite my being disappointed with the constant shipping delays, I have to
clarify that replacing your screen cover does NOT void your warranty. The GBA
is designed to have the plastic screen cover replaced easily. Nintendo sells
replacement screen covers and kits to remove your old one. This is not
considered a warranty-voiding alteration. To do that, you have to actually open
the GBA by unscrewing the tri-wing screws on the back. You don't do that with
this kit. This is a simple screen cover replacement. One more thing- The Sega
Nomad was a backlit system, and I don't know why anyone would remove the screen
cover on it, but the LCD in a Nomad was NOT meant to have the screen cover
removed... Maybe that would explain why it was never the same again? Once
again- With this product there is no risk of voiding your warranty, and the
adhesive on Nintendo replacement screens is very durable, and made for removal
and replacement of the screen.

HALO LIGHT MOST IMPORTANT ADDITION FOR GAME BOY ADVANCE
ANALYSIS: HOW THE NEW GAMEBOY SP COMPARES TO GBA HALO: TECHNICAL ISSUES: What You See is What You Get Do you want a backlit GBA, but don't feel like shelling
out big bucks for the SP? Do you likewise feel intimidated by backlighting
kits that require major surgery to upgrade your GBA? Well Innovation
Technologies welcomes you to the happy medium with the introduction of their
Halo backlighting system for the GameBoy Advance. The Halo Light replaces the
front protective lens of the GBA with a transparent lighted screen. The
effect is supposed to be an even and thorough illumination of the playing
screen no matter what the lighting conditions. But does it work? Yes, and pretty well too. The lighting
is indeed bright and consistent, even in pitch dark. Installation is a snap;
simply pop off the cover screen with the handy removal tool (included), pop
in the new Halo screen and plug the control node into your link port. If I
went too fast for you, it comes with excruciatingly detailed instructions.
Another bonus is the ability to dim and turn the power on and off from the
outside without cutting the case. At full power, you can expect six to eight
hour runs with conventional AA batteries. The Halo Light is an excellent idea for those of you who
want a great lighting system for just playing games. For about forty dollars,
you can grab one just about anywhere games are sold. Item
Condition: BRAND NEW / Includes Original Box / Sealed In Package With the introduction of the
Afterburner™, hand held gamers were treated to a whole new level of game
play, never before enjoyed. While virtually everyone in the gaming
community agreed that the GBA™ was an amazing hand held console (and of
course it is), one of the biggest flaws - and biggest annoyances was the lack
of a back light or some external form of light that would illuminate the
screen properly and enable gamers to play their GBA in all light
conditions. Afterburner for the GBA™ solved the problem - gamers
rejoiced, finally a lighting solution that really made it possible to play
all games, all the time, regardless of the lighting conditions of your
surroundings. Afterburner continues to be a very popular item.
However, many customers were set back by the amount of work involved to
install this backlight internally (actually a front light). It requires
some soldering skills, along with some cutting of the original GBA case (not
noticeable from the outside of the unit once completed) and the addition of a
dimmer dial to enable you to turn the brightness up or down. |

Customer after customer asked
whether or not there was an equally good solution, but without the complex
installation. We had been forced to tell customers that there simply
was not.... Until now. Introducing the GBA Halo light
by Innovation which is an extremely easy way to light up your GBA™ games. Many of you are thinking you
should wait to get an SP the new gba handheld from Nintendo. If you have not
seen an SP let me explain:The SP actually is not a back lit screen. It has 2
lights on the left and right of the screen under the protective screen which
you can turn on and off to save battery power wether you are in openlight or
darkness. It looks more like a normal gba screen with some light reflected in
it. You will be dissapointed when you actually see it. The Halo light uses an
expensive LED display screen with intricate lighting of LED's thruought that
actually create light directly on top of the gba screen making it
appear to be a backlit screen.Compare the old GBA with Halo and the new SP
and you will see that Halo looks better than SP! |

The GBA Halo light promises
(and sure looks like) an excellent addition to your GBA™, and a great way to
light up the games you play, without any real installation other than

well lit up. Take note that what you see below was a production sample,
so no scratches will be on the lens or the surrounding area - unless you put
them there ;) We're now taking orders today for the GBA Halo
light at a special introductory price of only $24.99. |
