BRIKSMAX Light Kit Compatible with LEGO Ideas Central Perk, NO LEGO

I am so glad I bought this lighting kit for my central perk Lego set. It’s brought to life and now looks so much more interesting and warm now it’s lit up. The lights are so easy to install with minimal disassembly of the Lego set to install them. The price is very reasonable with the deal Amazon have. I wanted the lights since I got the set but I couldn’t justify the price but I got 50% off so I jumped on the buy button. The lights can be run off of three AA batteries or from usb but my only complaint is the usb lead is far too short so I’ll need a long extension so it reaches to the plug socket or run it off a power bank but I’m not a fan of having to charge it up. Overall Well worth it!

At first all the elements look challenging but actually was easy and not too fiddly to add to the set. Wish there were little grooves in some of the Lego bricks to allow easier fit but minor detail really. Makes the set comes to life even in daytime. Usb makes it much more practical, economical and brighter. Not cheap but we'll worth it and good value, great quality result.

Great product. Looks better than what I was expecting. It was a little fiddly to do but is worth it. The instructions are easy to follow. Would recommend!

The idea is great, the look is great…. The reality, I’m not sure. I feel you need to be a qualified electrician to set this up. The guide is written horrendously with little to no written information on a step by step basis. Pictures alone don’t help when you have 20 bags with different lights, wires and connections in them. If they just revisited the guide and added more written instructions it would be great. Once opened I spent 10 minutes looking through it all before I put it away and decided I’d do it during the next lockdown! I want to create the amazing pictures they show when selling this light set, I just don’t know if I have the time or patience.

This item does the job. Cable lengths are generous so that you can come up with your own style to hide them if you don't want to follow the instructions. Some of the lights needed gentle force to stay in between bricks (especially round single diamond light bits at the beginning). This was the very first step in the building journey and presented doubts for the other lights but they all fit perfectly after all. It took me about a couple of hours and instructions are easy to follow if you're a 'LEGO friendly' person. If you managed to build the Friends LEGO set, the instructions for the lights will be easy for you. Instructions say use USB for brighter light but brand new batteries do give blinding shine. Very pleased with it.

It took ages to build so many wires and removing legos and putting them back on. It looks beautiful in the pictures but sadly when it finished the wires started smoking and melted a bit had to return :(

Overall the product works like it says it would and looks really nice in the LEGO set. My only two issues were that a set of lights does not work (at least they are in the same spot so it’s not that big of a deal) and the sticky squares were missing from my kit so I had to order some to finish the installation.

Fantastic light set and much easier to install than I expected. Worth every penny!
