      I wouldnt think it would be too bad honestly. But with any light kids there is a lot of disassembly and reassembly.

    Great tips, would mind 1 hour long video...😎
    Could you share some tips in future video regarding powering LED lights? I'm not an electrician don't have any measuring equipment and I ran in some issues. When my city grow, I have to add more and more USB Hubs and more USB power chargers. I now use few 3A USB chargers with 2 port's for around 6 sets, just to be safe. Don't really know how much sets, with lights, can I hook up on one of those USB charger, as with bigger USB hub with up tp 8 ports, I already ran in some issues, lights starts to fade or flicker, if I use all of them, so I rather use more USB chargers and don't use all ports on usb splitter/hub

    • @BevinsBricksWorld
      @BevinsBricksWorld  3 года назад +1

      Yeah the number of ports isnt what you wqnt to look at. The amps is what you want to watch for. On average though I want to say roughly 50 leds would be 1 amp. Thats not in stone just a general guide. If you use a bar light there are typically 3 leds on the 1 bar.

    I realize you posted this a a while ago. You mentioned in the video you are using some premade wire kits. I have been testing different brands. Brixsmax and Game of Bricks use the same connector. I noticed something some similar connections under your table. What connectors do you use? how do you integrate the wires from the kits? I have built on mils plats and I would like to wire my existing wired sets together. any thoughts?

    • @BevinsBricksWorld
      @BevinsBricksWorld  2 года назад

      I make a ton of different videos on lighting that might be beneficial for you to watch. The plugs that I use are the 1.25 mm bi pin plugs and some sets use the 8mm plugs. But you can also solder two different plugins together to make an adapter to use both. The two Brands I prefer using are Blinky Bricks and Brick Loot as they both sell plug and play lights for your custom needs.

    Question, could you use a dremmel tool to drill a small hole in the lego you are attaching the light to and then run the wire through the small hole and just press it to the lego board in question?

    What a warmth of charm lighting adds! It's as if a whole other dimension of LEGO, a richly rewarding one, is hidden from the average off-the-shelf consumer. You're the ideal instructor to teach the world all this. Also, a shorter intro is generally a smarter intro, so... well chosen.

    These are awesome tips. Thanks so much for sharing. What you did on the Steve Rogers floor is very clever. I need a way to light up a modular and be able to easily take it off the table (out of the city) and maybe separate the floors so a kid can play with it and then put it back on. Any tips on connections?

      Lelightgo I believe makes a connector specifically designed to do just that.

    You should bring the tower to Lego event's. It would be the star attraction.
