I am thinking of grabbing one of these (a #2) for my son's 2nd birthday and possibly the letters to spell his name. I see that there are a few different sizes and that they're battery operated. I know they've been out for a long time but I haven't ever thought of using them until now.
Any of you peas have these? Are the battery-operated lights bright or dull? Would love to hear your thoughts if you have these.
Thanks!

They're not that bright, but not sure how bright you were thinking.
I think they're sold out in most stores. There's a lot of alternatives on amazon, though, if you search "cinema box" I believe.

Our Joann's and Michaels seem to always have them on sale.

Joanns has several sizes of them now - the original one, a smaller one, one that is a long skinny rectangle...

Hello! I think the replies are referencing the lightbox. I thought you were talking about the large letters/numbers that are made of cardboard with the small lights in them. I have both. The marquee letters are quite bright in my opinion. I bought a snowflake as a Christmas decoration last year. I think it's so cute but cutting the paper to put inside was time consuming. After nearly tearing the paper for the holes to put the bulbs through, I realized a standard hole punch was just a smidge smaller than the hole. I had to use a bit of force to get the bulb cover through but it was much less stressful to cut! I bought the new marquee letter/number 3C for my classroom. (3C is my class label - just so that makes sense. lol) I'm going to just add some glitter tape to the outside and not cover the interior. I think it will look nice next to my lightbox at school.
