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 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.
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!
1.) We will install lights to the bottom rocket first. Start by disconnecting the bottom jet sections followed by the tail pieces as per below:
2.) Using the LEGO Removal tool, disconnect the following wall section from the bottom as shown below
Carefully press down at the following position to allow you to completely pull this section out.
3.) Repeat previous step to remove the wall section to the right
4.)Remove the section in the middle by lifting out sections using your finger as well as using the LEGO removal tool
5.) Use the LEGO Removal tool to disconnect the following sections to then allow us to remove the internal white wall section as well as the red pieces above and underneath
6.) Take the 5 jet sections and starting with one, disconnect the bottom half then take a White 30cm Bit Lightand thread the connector side of the cable down through the centre of the top of the jet (trans orange piece). Thread it all the way through until the Bit Light is right up against the edge of the trans orange piece.
Slightly bend the Bit Light on a 90 degree angle so that it sits flat, then secure it in place by connecting one of the provided Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1over the top
Reconnect the top half of the jet section back to the bottom half ensuring the cable from the Bit Light is tucked neatly underneath the dark grey bars.
Take caution when reconnecting to the bottom half and ensure there is enough cable slack between the jet section and bottom half for the technic bar to push against the cable as the two sections reconnect. If there is not enough cable slack, the technic bar will push the cable out and snap the cable.
7.)Repeat previous step to install White 30cm Bit Lights to the other four Jet sections using more of the provided Trans Orange Round Plate 1×1
8.) Reconnect the bottom three jet sections back to the base of the rocket starting with the one in the centre. Ensure the cable from each jet light is laid toward the top centre as shown below:
9.) Take the wall section closest to the bottom and then reconnect this to the ship starting with the top part.
10.) Reconnect the Jet section that connects to the bottom of the wall section we just reconnected ensuring all cables are neatly laid towards the centre.
Flip the rocket over and then reconnect the remaining wall section by first reconnecting the top part then reconnect the remaining Jet section.
11.) Take 1x Flicker Effects Board and connect the two shortest Bit Light Cables to the OUT ports (There are 3 OUT ports in total).
12.) Take remaining three Bit Light cables and connect them to a 6-Port Expansion Board
13.) Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect one end to the 6-port Expansion Board and connect the other end to the remaining OUT port on the Flicker Effects Board.
14.) Take a Flat Battery Pack and insert 2x CR2032 Batteries to it and then connect the battery pack cable to the IN Port on the Flicker Effects Board
Turn the Battery Pack on and confirm all lights and effects are working OK
Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.
15.) Eliminate excess cabling by grouping all the cables and twisting them around each other. Tuck everything in to the open middle section.
Reconnect remaining sections of the Rocket.
To turn On and OFF the lights, simply detach the middle section to access the Battery Pack.
16.) We will now proceed to lighting the middle section of the Saturn V. Using the LEGO Removal Tool, disconnect the following sections (two main and one centre section).
17.) Remove the internal walls
18.) Disconnect the five Jet sections
19.)Disassemble one of the Jets and then take a White 30cm Bit Light and then thread the connector side through the top of outer section. Thread it all the way through until the component is right up against the edge.
Carefully bend the Bit Light 90 degrees so that it now sits flat against the hole then secure it in place by reconnecting theTrans Orange Round Plate
Thread the cable through the piece that connects behind and then carefully reconnect the white bar securing all pieces together.
Take caution when reconnecting to the white bar and ensure there is enough cable slack between the jet section and white bar for the bar to push against the cable as the two pieces reconnect. If there is not enough cable slack, the white bar will push the cable out and snap the cable.
20.) Repeat previous step to install White 30cm Bit Lights to the other four Jet sections.
21.)Reconnect the five Jet sections to the base starting with the bottom ones, ensuring the cables for each light is laid neatly up the centre as shown below
22.) Turn the section over on it’s side and then pull all the cables up to the top section. Reconnect the bottom inside wall section to secure the cables in place.

OK, Let’s Begin!
1.) First remove the bottle from the stand and disconnect the bottle top as well as top window sections to allow us to remove the ship.
2.) Remove the three masts from the ship, then disconnect the following sections around the front:
3.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the gap of the brown clip on the back of the ship. Thread it all the way through until the Bit Light is up against the edge of the gap. Ensure the LED is facing up, then lay the cable down the side of the ship as shown below. Secure it in place by reconnecting the back section over the top. The Bit Light should be seen slightly peaking out from below the brown clip.
4.) Take another White 30cm Bit Light and slightly bend the wire down about 1cm from the top of the Bit Light as shown below. Hook the bit light over the following stud, then secure it in place by reconnecting the brown grill tile over the top.
Lay the cable down in between studs, then reconnect the side brown wall tile.
Repeat this process to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the left, securing it in place by reconnecting the brown tile over the top.
5.) Before reconnecting the brown wall tile, slide in the 1×6 plate as shown below. You may need to slightly lift up the two bit lights to reconnect the plate back in place. Reconnect the brown wall tile by sliding it in and connecting it underneath, then reconnect the last remaining section to the back of the ship.
Reconnect the three masts then group the three cables together and twist/wind them around each other a few times at the top to lock them in place.
6.) Take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x AA Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the first port on the 6-Port Expansion Board. Connect the three cables from the ship to the spare ports on the expansion board, then turn ON the battery pack to test the lights connected are working OK.
Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.
Disconnect the three bit lights and battery pack from the expansion board, then continue to twist/wind the cables around each other all the way to the end so they all come together to form one larger cable.
7.) Take two trans light blue round plates from inside the bottle then take out a Blue 30cm Bit Light and place it directly over one of studs. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the other trans light blue round plate over the top as shown below:
Repeat this step to install another 5x Blue 30cm Bit Lights using more of the trans light blue round plates from inside the bottle to secure them in place.
Take the 8-Port Expansion Board and connect the AA Battery Pack to it, then connect all six Blue Bit Light cables. Turn ON the battery pack to test all the blue lights are working OK.
Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.8.) Tip all the trans light blue round plates out of the bottle then take an Adhesive Square and stick it to the side of the trans light blue plates where we have installed one of the Blue Bit Lights to. We will be installing 6 blue lights around the base of the bottle.
Mount the LEGO plates with Bit Light to the base of the bottle as shown below, then thread the connector end of the cable through the lower gap of the bottle. Pull the cable all the way out from behind.
We will now install the remaining five Blue Bit Lights around the base of the bottle. Using the same method as above, mount the other five trans light blue round plates with Bit Lights to the base of the bottle using extra Adhesive Squares. Continue to thread the other end of the cables through the same gap we did for the first Blue Bit Light.
9.) Turn the bottle around to the back, then ensure all cables inside the bottle are laid away from the brown plates except for the two cables shown below. Lay these two cables in between the brown plates.
Twist/wind the six cables around each other all the way to the ends so they come together to form one larger cable, then starting with the shorter two cables, connect all six cables to the 8-Port Expansion Board.
Group all the cables closest the expansion board and twist/wind them around the larger cable so they group together.
10.) Pour back in, all of the trans light blue round plates into the bottle. Spread the pieces out evenly to try and cover the cables inside, then turn the bottle back around to the front.
Take the ship and thread the group of three cables through the gap on the left of the blue bit light cables. Pull the cables all the way out from behind to then allow you to reconnect the ship back inside the bottle.
11.) Reconnect all the trans clear sections which make up main section of the bottle.
12.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the centre of the studs on top of the main bottle section. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the bottle top section.
Bring the other end of the cable across to the right, then twist/wind it around the group of white 30cm bit lights (on the right side). Connect the bit light to the next port on the 6-Port Expansion Board.
Twist/wind any remaining excess cables around the larger group of cables as shown below:
13.) Take a Multi Effects Board and connect a 5cm Connecting Cable into one of the OUT ports (side with two ports). Connect the other end of the 5cm Connecting Cable to a spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board.
Take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Multi Effects Board (side with one port). Connect the other end of the 5cm Connecting Cable to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board, then connect the AA Battery Pack to the remaining Port.
14.) We can now set the effect we want. For a slow effect to represent ‘waves of the sea’, we chose to the ‘Pulse’ effect. Flick the switch to the far right for ‘Pulse’, then turn the speed wheel all the way to the left for the slowest speed. Alternatively, you can set whichever effect and speed you desire by simply changing the channel switch and adjusting the speed wheel. Once you are happy with your desired effect, place the bottle back on top of the bottle stand with the back facing toward you still.
Twist/wind the two larger cables together then fold up the cables so they can be neatly hidden underneath the bottle in between the stand and bottle. Neatly place the AA Battery Pack to cover up the gap then turn the bottle around to the front.

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 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.
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.
Setting up the Remote Control and Sound Kit
Important Note regarding Power: If your light kit contains multiple multi-effects boards, we recommend powering the remote control board via mains electricity (connecting usb power cable into a wall adaptor similar to a smartphone charger). This will eliminate any potential issues relating to powering of the device.
1.) Your Remote Control Board should be connected in between your light kit and power source. First disconnect the power source from your light circuit
2.) Assemble your Remote Control and Sound Kit as shown below ensuring all your components are connected to the correct ports:
Audio – Connect Speaker to this port
IR – Connect IR Receiver 30cm Connecting Cable to this port
Out – Connect 5cm Connecting Cable to this port
3.) Once your Remote Control and Sound Kit is assembled as per above, connect the other end of the 5cm Connecting Cable to your light kit (where your power source was previously connected). Then connect your power source to the remote control board’s 5V port.
Important Note regarding Power: If your light kit contains multiple multi-effects boards, we recommend powering the remote control board via mains electricity (connecting usb power cable into a wall adaptor similar to a smartphone charger). This will eliminate any potential issues relating to powering of the device.
4.) Take the IR Receiver and bring it over to the front of your light kit, so that we can mount it ‘in line of sight’ of the remote control. Using it’s adhesive backing, mount the IR Receiver somewhere suitable ensuring the sensor is facing forward.
5.) Take the speaker and secure it somewhere suitable ensuring speaker is facing the correct way up.
Your remote control and sound kit is now ready to use. To activate, follow the below procedure:

To load your desired audio tracks, simply disconnect the Remote Control and Sound Board and connect the Micro USB Cable to the micro usb port on the bottom side of the board. Connect the other side (USB plug) to your PC/MAC and wait for it to load. The Remote Control and Sound board does not require power in order for your PC to read it. It should load as a normal USB external drive.
Simply Drag and Drop your chosen audio tracks (MP3 format only) into the USB drive and then eject and reconnect back to your light circuit. Simple as that!
OSxPCRe-arrange the order of audio files played.
If you wish to re-arrange the order of the mp3 files that are played, follow the below steps:
Copy all the files to your local hard drive.
Delete all the files from the memory card (ensure you have copied the files off as per step 1)
Rename the files on your local hard drive with the number order of your choosing, e.g. Rename “Police Siren.mp3” to “01. Police Siren.mp3“, “Car Engine.mp3” to “02. Car Engine.mp3“, etc.
Copy the files back to the memory card.
You must completely remove and re-copy the files on the memory card in order to reset the order. Simply renaming the files already saved on the memory card will not re-arrange the order.
Troubleshooting
My lights do not power on using the remote control!
If your lights do not power on via the remote control, first check that all your connections are correct as per step 2.
If all the connections are correct and all you hear is a brief beep of static through the speaker, this is a powering issue where not enough power is being inputted to the remote board and light kit. If your light kit contains multiple multi-effects boards, we recommend powering the remote control board via mains electricity (connecting usb power cable into a wall adaptor similar to a smartphone charger). This will eliminate any potential issues relating to powering of the device.
Remote Control system is draining batteries very quickly
When you are powering the remote control system and lights with our battery packs, the remote board will still output a very small amount of power, even with the lights remotely turned off. This is because the remote board still requires just enough power so that it can detect when it is time to remotely “turn on”. This is the reason your AA Batteries are draining quickly. If you want to remotely turn ON the lights whenever you want, it is best to power using our USB Power Cable connected to mains power via a USB wall adaptor (like a smart phone wall adaptor).
I can remotely turn on Lights but when I press play to play audio, lights turn off and it makes a buzzing noise
This issue is relating to lower power or batteries are not fully charged. Replace batteries with fresh fully charged batteries and try again. Alternatively, use our recommended power source and power your remote control lighting circuit using our USB Power Cable to mains power wall adaptor.
Light My Bricks USB Power Bank green light turns off after I remotely turn off the remote control system. Once this happens I can’t remotely turn ON the lights.
Our USB Power Banks have a standby function which saves power when it detects no or very little power. When the lights are turned off remotely, it is only outputting a very tiny amount of power, so the USB power bank will detect inactivity and power off. If you want to remotely turn ON the lights whenever you want, it is best to power using our USB Cable connected to mains power via a USB wall adaptor (like a smart phone wall adaptor).

Important things to note:
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 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.
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!

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 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.

Pull the Light String over to the roof of the clock tower and then secure it in place by disconnecting then reconnecting the white tiles over the top ensuring you are connecting the plates over in between the LEDs.
23.) Bring the Light String across to the front side of the roof and secure it underneath the white 1×4 tile on this side.
Bring the Light String across to the right side of the roof and then secure it underneath the white 1×4 tile on this side.
Bring the Light String down the right roof section and underneath the winter village sign, then bring the cable up and across to the right. Secure the Light String underneath the 1×2 brick (underneath the Winter Village Sign).
24.) Bring the Light String over to the roof on the right side of the station and then secure it by connecting a provided White Plate 1×4 over the top. Loop and bend the Light String at the top of the roof to bring the cable over to the other side.
From the other side, bring the cable down and wind it around the black pole a few times before connecting it up to a spare port on the 12-Port Expansion Board.
Finally, if you used a 50cm Connecting Cable for the vehicle instead of a Battery Pack, connect it to the 12-Port Expansion Board.
Turn the Battery Pack ON to verify all the lights are working OK.
25.) Finally, neaten up any messy cables at the back of the station, then tuck the expansion board and Battery Pack in neatly.
26.) Lastly, if you intend to have the Winter Village Station setup with the Winter Holiday Train light kit, you will need to remove the following pieces along the railway crossing tracks. This is so the components on the bottom of the train are not caught against the track as it passes.
This finally completes installation of your Light My Bricks Winter Village Light Kit.
We hope you enjoy and we thank you for purchasing this product.
