Cold Cathode Light

Third party small CCFL light for the original, non-backlit screen, Game Boy Advance.

Description

The original GBA was the last Nintendo handheld to not have a backlit screen. Aftermarkets mods quickly became available to get LEDs into the unit providing backlighting of varying quality. But immediately after the system’s launch we received some of the last ‘light accessories’ that were super common during the early Game Boy days. Showing its age, this did not even use LED lighting, rather it employed a small CCL and was powered by the GBA’s accessory/communication port.
