I was skeptical but wrong

I'd tried another lighting set on my Empire State Building and never got it to work so I was unsure of trying another. But Light My Bricks was simply different. Even the picture looked better, but the instructions were clear and correct and gave me all that I needed to really light it up right. It looks gorgeous now!

Bringing my Lego to life

The quality of this set of lights is undoubtedly top notch to say the least. In fact, some of the lights are a little too bright, but there was a customer (special thanks to Erwin) who found the right solution.

Furthermore, I want to thank the entire customer support team (special thanks to Denise, Rachel and Justin) who helped me a lot. They were very thoughtful, nice and efficient. Amazing customer service! Again, thank you so much for all your support.

Some parts a bit too bright, but I fixed it!

Another fine light kit from Light My Bricks. Fast delivery, nice packaging, good quality parts and easy to understand instructions.

Like most light kits, you really need to take your time installing them, because some parts can be a little bit fiddly to get them right. Nothing too hard though, and again this was a fun little project.

The overall design of this kit is quite good, there’s a nice amount of LED’s which highlight the best parts of the building, and the wires are well hidden.

But unfortunately, there’s quite a big negative too. What I really didn’t like was the very harsh and blinding light coming from the spotlights on the ground and on the front side of the building. The LED’s on these light kits are typically very bright, and I have previously always added a LMB dimmer board to the mix to brighten them down, so they act more as mood lights in an already dimly lit room. But still, I wasn’t statisfied with just that. The aforementioned LED’s are not hidden or diffused in any way, so you look straight at them, which is not very pleasant, and they also attract too much attention, instead of accenting the building.

But it’s always fun to search for a solution, and after experimenting with various Lego parts, I found the perfect fix: I added 4 white 2x2 plates to diffuse and dim the bottom spotlights, and 4 dark bluish gray 1x1 technic liftarm spacers for the spotlights on the front side of the building, which actually makes them real uplighters. Works great, and…

Overall the kit is well designed and most of the instructions are easy to follow. A couple images in the instructions were not clear as to the orientation of the lights. One other comment on the choice of individual lights for this kit: the LEDs used for the spot lights could be dimmer. They stand out and draw attention away from the over model instead of accenting it.
