Before You Begin
Laying cables in between
and underneath bricks
Cables can fit 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.
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 fit easily into a port connector, do
not force it.
Incorrectly inserting the connector can result in bent pins inside the port or
possible overheating of the expansion board when connected.
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 fit easily into a port connector, don’t force it. Doing so will
damage the plug and the connector.
Connecting Micro Cable Connectors To Micro Expansion Board Ports
Take extra care when inserting the micro connectors to micro ports of Micro
Expansion Boards. Connecting Micro Bit Lights to Micro Expansion Boards is
similar to connecting lights and cables to Strip Lights. With the expansion
board facing up, ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is
facing down. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force
it. Use your fingernail to push the plastic part of the connector to the micro
port.
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.
The Symbols Used In This Guide
When going through the following guide you will come across symbols and
formats that will assist with the installation of your light kit. Take notice
of them as each has a specific purpose.
Light Kit Component
This is the most important image format as it indicates which part to use
from the Light Kit. Make sure you pay close attention to which part is shown.
Connect
Used when you need to connect a LEGO piece or LMB component.
Disconnect
Used when you need to remove a LEGO piece/ section or LMB component.
Directional
Used to show where to route cables, place components, or move them.
Bend/Pivot
Used when a component needs to be bent, or part folded or pivoted.
Turn/ Flip
Will be found in the top left corner when the set needs to be rotated or
flipped.
Twist/ Braid
Seen when a set of cables need to be grouped and twisted together.
Power On Test
Found at the end of a major step to test the lights. Will be located in the
top left corner.
Note
Notes will be found alongside the instruction photos and explain what to do.
Repeat Step
Repeat the previous step eg. Make a spotlight, then make a second spotlight.
Connect Focus
Used to highlight a hard to see area where a component is being connected.
Disconnect Focus
Used to highlight a hard to see area where a component is being disconnected.
General Focus
Used to highlight a hard to see area where a component needs to be acted on.
General Note
This is a sample note that is used anywhere in this guide. It will explain a
difficult section where photos are hard to illustrate or easily confused.
NOTE
Take the 5cm Connecting Cable from the 4-Port Micro Expansion Board and route
it into the “IN” port of the Flicker Effects Board
Connect Note
The green coloured note is used when the topic focuses on a component being
connected, like the shown Power Bank.
NOTE
Connect to a 5V USB Power Bank, 5V USB Wall Adaptor, or USB to AA Battery Pack
(sold separately)
Disconnect Note
The red coloured note is used when the topic focuses on a component being

TROUBLESHOOTING
Light My Bricks lighting kits contain individual components that are very
small and can be easily damaged if not handled correctly.
To prevent unnecessary damage to components, we highly recommend that the User
Guide section, “Important things to note” is read carefully. Follow the
handling procedures in the User Guide to help prevent faults and damages to
your Light My Bricks components.
If you are experiencing issues with your Light My Bricks set, watch our
troubleshooting video or read on for a list of common causes to help you
troubleshoot.
Firstly, ensure that the batteries have power using a battery charge gauge.
If the batteries have no power, replace the batteries.
If the batteries still have power, check to see if the batteries have been
inserted correctly into the battery pack.
Check for AA batteries using the AA battery pack
Inside the battery pack are symbols indicating which direction the AA battery
should be inserted. The flat side of the battery should be paired with the
spring side of the battery pack.
If the batteries have been installed correctly and your kit still isn’t
operating correctly, the next step is to check the wiring.
Check Your Wires
In order for Light My Bricks components to fit in between and underneath
LEGO® bricks, the components need to be very small. Due to this nature, Light
My Bricks components can be easily damaged when not handled correctly.
Be careful when removing unpacked components out of the packaging and ensure
not to forcibly pull at the wires as this can damage the soldering that attach
the wires to the LEDs.
If the wiring is detached from the LED itself, the light will not operate.
When connecting lights to your LEGO® set, check that there are no pinched
wires underneath or in between bricks and plates. When the wires are pinched
and the exposed wires are touching each other, this can cause a crosswire and
the lights to not function correctly.
Check Your Expansion Board Ports/ Strip Light Ports / Effects Board Ports
It is important to note that connectors can only be inserted to the expansion
board, strip light, or effects board ports in one direction. Forcibly
inserting connectors in the incorrect direction will result in damaging the
pins inside each of the ports on your component board.
Not only will a light connected to the damaged port not work, but if the pins
inside the port are bent to a point they are touching each other, this can
result in all other lights in the system to stop working. This is a short
circuit.
A short circuit can also result in overheating of the board, cable or
batteries. If you suspect a short circuit, DISCONNECT POWER IMMEDIATELY
Batteries can fail, catch fire, or even explode if left connected to a short
circuit for too long.
If you suspect you have a faulty component due to a bent pin, try the
following steps:
If you look carefully inside each of the ports, each port contains 2 small pins that should be straight. You will be able to identify a faulty port if it has any bent pins.
