INSTALLATION GUIDE 4LIGHT MY BRICKS TECHNIC DIY DESIGNER LIGHT KIT INSTALLATION GUIDE

Introduction

Included in your kit is a range of handy components for lighting Technic sets. Using these components, you

can create your own lighting system for any Technic set on the market - from headlights and taillights for

the 4 x 4 Off Roader, to realistic industrial ashing beacons for the Bucket Wheel Excavator. The following

information will have you covered to light up your Technic set. Let’s begin!

We’ll now go over several of the most versatile and effective lighting techniques you’ll utilise to light your

Technic set. We’ve featured several of our favourite LEGO Technic sets, but remember these techniques can

be applied to any sets.

Same components, same LEGO Technic pieces, different sets!

To start with, let’s go over some broad concepts when approaching your lighting design.

Lighting Chain

The idea of energy ow brings us to our next point. By using our connecting cables and expansion boards, you can create an electrical chain or loop

as the foundation of your lighting design. The diagram below will give you an overview of how our systems function and an example of how you

might think about laying out your design.

SOURCE

CONNECTING CABLE

Your power source is at the beginning or head of the chain. Then your expansion boards and connecting cables serve as the body from there,

providing you with the ports you need to connect lights and other components or limbs to. Never connect more than one power source per chain and

keep in mind you can extend your system out as far as you need, provided you continue adding expansion boards via connecting cables in order to

allow the ow of power to continue.

Bit Lights

Now let’s take a closer look at some of the components you’ll be using in your system and how they interact with

your LEGO pieces to light your Technic set.

Bit lights are the most common and versatile light you’ll nd in any Light My Bricks kit.

They can be used in many different ways to produce many different lighting effects. For example, these bright

individual LEDs can be used for headlights, taillights, spotlights, interior lights, just to name a few. The light head

can t comfortably under any 1x1 plate, and the connected wire can snake and wind through and around almost

any hole, wedge, cross or pin you’ll nd in a Technic set.

One instance where a bit light will not t, is under a standard LEGO at tile. You’ll nd included in your designer

kit a series of the most common square and round transparent LEGO plates to swap out these kinds of tiles.

They have all been selected with aesthetics in mind so as not to compromise the look of any Technic build.

On the opposite end to the LED is the connector, this plugs into any port on an expansion board or specic port

on certain components.

Connecting Bit Lights and Connecting Cables

INTROBIT LIGHTS

Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports of Expansion Boards

and Effects Boards. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the

expansion board facing up, look for the soldered “=” symbol on the left side

of the port. The connector side with the wires exposed should be facing

toward the soldered “=” symbol as you insert into the port. If a plug won’t

t easily into a port connector, do not force it.

Incorrectly inserting the connector can can result in bent pins inside the port

or possible overheating of the expansion board when connected.

The next few pages will provide you with some common methods used to

install Bit Lights to a few different Technic models.
