BRIKSMAXLed Lighting Kit for Diagon Alley - Compatible with Lego 75978 Building Blocks Model- Not Include The Lego Set

The media could not be loaded.  This was my first time wiring a lego set with lighting so I was anticipating this to be a challenge going in, but will say it was more difficult that it needed to be at times. They give you some additional lego pieces to stick lights onto, it would've been nice to had modified lego pieces with cutouts to run the wiring earier ... it struggled for 40 minutes with two tiny lights for the pen/quil in one of the shops...they kept popping up and I just had to brute force it. Once you start building, it gets a little easier but each section takes time. I followed the youtube video, I wouldn't bother trying to look at the tiny picture book they provide. I do wish the youtube video had multiple camera angles for the harder to see areas.For my bookcase, I have a metal bar in the middle so I needed to split this set into two. Thankfully, there is so extra cabling so I was able to connect the two separated sections easily. They also include a USB connector so I was able to hard wire, no need for batteries!! I loved the modular nature of this lighting kit and while it was a total pain and I would NOT want to do it again for this set, it was well worth the money. Would def recommend but again, take your time and tipple check the video instructions! - they actually have a typo in one of the written sections and would've used the wrong lights, but I just followed what they had on screen and was good to go.

Not only did Diagon Alley look great after being lit up, but this company also has great customer service. While relocating this set, I accidentally dropped it, breaking 5 different wires. I messaged the company and they sent me all new wires for free!!! When I repaired the set, I realized an additional wire was broken, and they again are helping me out. Highly recommend.

I enjoyed seeing the pictures of others who used a light set for Diagon Alley and wanted to light mine up. I would say the instructions are moderately difficult for some steps. I’m very happy with how it turned out. The only thing that would be nice is to include spare pieces. Some of the lights are small and delicate and break easy. (This is mentioned in the instructions). Definitely worth the time and money, though.

It seemed like a really cool idea and the directions seem fairly easy to follow, but I returned mine because it wasn’t worth trying to take the set apart to work the lights in after the fact. I would absolutely buy the light kits to build into other sets as I assemble them but no so much after they’ve already been assembled.

How the heck does anyone install this crap when the slightest touch makes it all fly apart?! This is literally as well as it will go together... not well at all. After an hour dealing with this one little section, I'm about to return the whole bloody thing. Also it requires additional Lego bricks which are not included in the set, nor are they provided in the light kit. Or mine's missing crap. Wouldn't surprise me if it is. Waste of time & money.

I had a piece that was not working properly. I contacted Light Tailing and they helped me figure out what the problem was and sent a replacement part at no charge.

Definitely a must have to display the Harry Potter Diagon Alley. This kit is enjoyable, but not for small kids. Small wiring connectors and following instructions will require adult assistance. Slightly expensive, but overall a good product, especially the packaging of the different wires and electric connectors.

Nice LED light kit for this LEGO set. I've purchased from this vendor before, and every time kit is complete, instructions are reasonable, and have thoroughly enjoyed this addition to our Lego building.

This is an ongoing review on the Diagon Alley Lego Lighting kit by Briksmax.This is an excellent kit that arrives in a small box with all the components clearly labelled in clip-lok bags each with their respective part numbers (i.e. A01, A02, E02 etc). There are three manuals each with pictures which cover all the four shops/buildings. Included in the kit, are LEDs, Wires, Lego Bricks, tiny double sided sticky pads, 4 x AAA battery holders, and 4 x USB Connectors, including a "receiver" unit for the Remote Control which is NOT supplied with a battery.I will update this review as I progress, but I got my Briksmax kit on 18th February and luckily my Diagon Alley set arrived the same day direct from Lego.I have broken my review into sections - Positive, Negative, Suggestion, Typo and Updates. Do not take the Negative as a reason for NOT buying as, as these are just my own thoughts and niggles, and realistically are NOT a reason to avoid.Positive:01. The installation whilst fiddly makes the entire shops look fantastic, the lighting is very well done and well worth installing, even though routing the wires is a chore, its worth the effort and great to bring the complexity of the buildings and its features to life.02. Each building uses its only battery box/USB connection, so each is powered independently.Negative:01. The instructions are laid out for each from when each building is "complete", this makes it over complicated since you have to remove bricks/disassemble parts/bits to go back and do the cabling, it would be more sensible to provide two sets of instructions: one for when its complete, and one for when its being assembled to ease cabling whilst it is built.02. I was scratching my head trying to work out where the wires went and the routing of the cables and plugs, sometimes the images take a wire outside the walls, and then you only discover 10 steps later where that wire is going, so it is possible to find parts of it very confusing. Images are certainly helpful and I can see they have tried to do a similar process with the images like Lego to make it easy to follow, but its over-complicated by a manual that is aimed to add it after build completion and there are some images that need better clarity over wiring.Suggestions to make things cleaner01. Wires are also taken outside the walls and run down the sides, this is fine, however maybe some sort of flat drainpipe cover or something could be fabricated to cover the wires to hide them and disguise them?02. One remote receiver is included for the remote, which has 4 connection sockets, to use the remote you would need to plug each building into one socket on the receiver, if you wanted to display them opposite each other - 2 on left and 2 on right and form a cobbled street, there is no way to use one receiver to complete that objective and would need two. I contacted them via email, I was advised that these would be available to buy from April/May 2021 at additional cost, but as yet no price is available. This way you could connect 2 light sets to one receiver and the other two buildings to the other receiver (same channels but different sockets), they confirmed this has been tested and works fine. However there are no wires included in the kit I can see long enough to connect all four buildings in a straight line to one receiver. On the positive side each building uses its only battery box/USB connection, so each is powered independently.03. It would be useful to supply 4 manuals instead of 3, one manual for each building, as they have used two manuals to cover all four buildings and one building starts in manual 01 and continues in manual 02. This is not a problem, but would make it neater! The third manual is taken up with connecting the remote.Manual Typo?01. I got to building 03 (Fortesques/Flourish and Blotts) and from the manual, it told me to use wire (I think it was A04), however I had none left, when I read back through all the manuals, at no point had i use the wrong wires, and when i checked ahead I found i only needed 2 x A03 wires, and I had 3 left, so used an A03, which turned out to be the correct length, maybe this was a manual misprint.Update: March 2021.I have now completed the fourth building Weasley Wizard Wheezes, as the shop for this one is the largest build there is more wiring to do, and this is no easy feat, I had a small disaster which one bulb (A24) is a slow flash blue LED and due to the location of the wiring a few wires all seem to congregate in a small area and one thing that occurred was one of the two wires that feeds that LED was accidentally cut by the brick above, so I had to painstakingly 'solder' the wire - no easy feat when they are the thickness of cotton, luckily this worked. Photos for this will be added soon. Pictures for the 4th shop to followOverall:Well worth the money and the investment, I now have to look to getting a display cabinet to show the completed models off!

Wenn man es geschafft hat es anzubringen sieht es super aus

Ich habe das Paket vor einem Monat gekauft als Geschenk für die Familie. Bei dem Zusammenbau vor ein paar Tagen, haben wir dann nach 9 Stunden Aufbau und starker Fummelarbeit festgestellt, dass überhaupt nichts funktioniert! Es geht kein Licht an und wir waren sehr sorgfältig beim Zusammenbau.Ebenso ist meine Rückgabefrist vorbei, weil es immerhin ein Geschenk war, dass fleißig gewartet hat. Im Internet gibt es für den selben Preis Beleuchtungssets, die ohne großen Aufwand eingebaut werden können. Sollten die Verkäufer dies lesen wäre ich erfreut würde mir eine Lösung angeboten werden, denn nach dem Ablauf der Rückgabe ist das Ding nun gelaufen. (Und alle Kabel möchte man ja auch nicht ausbauen). Sehr enttäuschend !!

EDIT: Auf meine Nachricht hin, dass die Beleuchtung nun gar nicht mehr auf die Bedienung reagiert, bekam ich keine Antwort. Das bestätigt den wenig wertigen Gesamteindruck und ich reduziere von einem auf 0 Sterne. Ohne Bedienung kann man die Gasse nämlich gar nicht erst anschalten. Somit habe ich lediglich ein Lego-Modell voller Kabel, die mir nichts bringen.Die Beleuchtung sieht klasse aus. Die Installation ist allerdings komplex und hat genauso lange gedauert wie der Aufbau der Winkelgasse.Das Hauptproblem: Die Fernbedienung funktioniert nicht richtig. Es gibt die Knöpfe ON, OFF, A, B, C und D. Es funktionieren lediglich ON, der alle Lampen anmacht, sowie B und D. Das führt dazu, dass man zwar bequem mit der Bedienung die ganze Gasse beleuchten kann, zum Ausschalten allerdings am Schalter hinter der Gasse rumfriemeln muss. Und für den Preis erwarte ich, dass die Bedienung richtig funktioniert.
