Taking Briksmax as an example, the sets that I’ve had from them have all come with individual lights, connection cables, splitters, everything you need to create a lighting circuit, but you have to construct the entire thing yourself, component by component and it’s a lengthy and quite fiddly process. ![]() Once the unpacking was done and the installation about to commence, I was surprised by a couple of things with Lightailing’s set that I’d not seen with my previous ventures into LEGO lighting, everything was pre-connected. The package includes absolutely everything you need – apart from the LEGO set itself – to install. In addition to the lights themselves, the kit also includes USB connections, a USB splitter, an awesome LEGO-style studded AA-battery pack with USB connection and even a screwdriver for opening the battery pack up. Previous kits I’ve received has been Briksmax, which based on the prices on the Lightailing’s website appear to be the more premium of the two brands – the other Mos Eisley set is nearly twice the price of the Lightailing one.ĭespite the “budget” status, my first impressions of the kit were extremely positive, with a well packaged set, components individually bagged and an impressively high quality glossy instruction manual. Having purchased from Lightailing’s website in the past, this is actually the first time that I’ve received a kit with their own branding. They have two different kits on their website for this particular set, with the one I’m reviewing here being the cheaper of the two options. One such company, Lightailing, has quite an extensive array of lighting kits available for LEGO sets and I jumped at the chance to review one of them for the LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina. ![]() With that being said, I have quite a bit of experience with a couple lighting kit suppliers. ![]() Here’s a video of my city from a couple of months back to give you an idea: While it was easy to pick up ready-made kits for my modular sets, it was do-it-yourself all the way for the modified smaller buildings. I, myself, have spent a lot of time with lighting kits over the course of 2021, building up a LEGO city since January, my obsession grew around how I could enhance the streets of my bricked up metropolis. Lighting kits for LEGO sets have grown in popularity significantly in recent years, from DIY pick’n’mix components to full set specific kits, there’s plenty of options out there for anyone looking to take their LEGO sets to a new level.
