Important things tonote:
Laying cables in between and underneath bricks
Cables can t in between and underneath LEGO® bricks, plates, and tiles providing
they are laid correctly between the LEGO® studs. Do NOT forcefully join LEGO®
together around cables; instead ensure they are laying comfortably in between each
stud.
Connecting cable connectors to StripLights
Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports on the Strip Lights. Connectors
can be inserted only one way. With the Strip Light facing up, ensure the side of the
connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t t easily into a port
connector, don’t force it. Doing so will damage the plug and the connector.
CAUTION: Forcing LEGO® to connect over a cable can result in damaging
the cable andlight.
“
Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards
Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports of Expansion 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.
WARNING: Incorrectly inserting the connector can result in bent pins inside the
port or possible overheating of the expansion board when connected.
Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks andplates.
When installing Bit Lights under LEGO® pieces, ensure they are placed the correct
way up (Yellow LED component exposed). You can either place them directly on top
of LEGO® studs or in between.
OK, Let’sBegin!
Instructions for installing thiskit
1.) This lighting kit is installed from the bottom up. Start by removing the 2nd and
top levels of the modular building.
2.) To enable us to lay the cable for the lamp post underneath the brick tiles, remove
the stock lamp post and mail box, as well as the following tiles as per below.
3.) Replace the stock lamp post with the Light My Bricks lamp post ensuring that the
cable is laid in the middle of the 2 studs facing toward the right of the building.
Gently bend the base plate down and lift the building of the ground oor up so we
can thread the cable for the lamp post underneath the building wall.
Pull the cable all the way up from the inside of the building underneath the wall and
then use some sticky tape to secure the cable to the wall and to prevent it from
being seen from the outside looking in.
4.) Ensure the lamp post cable is laid neatly in between the Lego studs before
reconnecting the tiles we removed earlier, followed by the mail box.
5.) We will now light up the lamps on the sides as well as two green shades. First
remove the following Lego pieces to allow us access.
6.) Remove one of the pillars and then disconnect the top 2 layers. Disconnect the
lamp and disassemble it as per below.
7.) Take 1x Bit Light and thread the connector end through the top whole of the
black brick and out through the bottom end. Pull it all the way through until the LED
reaches the end and then secure it in place by reconnecting the trans yellow piece.
8.) Reattach the lamp with bit light installed onto the pillar ensuring the cable is laid
in between the 2 black Lego studs, then reconnect the top two layers of the pillar.
