Lighting Up the LEGO® Winter Village Cottage with  Light My Bricks™ Christmas Starter Pack

A Step-by-Step Guide: Lighting Your LEGO® Set

Step 1: Prepare Your Build For Lightup

Start by removing any large or difficult-to-access elements from your LEGO® set. For the Winter Village Cottage, take off the roof and chimney.

Disassemble the Christmas tree, removing the coloured tiles.

Step 2: Install the Multicoloured String Lights

Replace the coloured tiles on the Christmas tree with 1x1 round plates.

Position the LEDs from the string lights over the desired stud and snap the plate on top to secure each light.

Step 3: Reassembling the Tree

Once the string lights are in place, reassemble the tree, carefully folding and hiding cables inside the build as you go to keep everything neat and tidy.

Step 4: Mount the Dock

Find a discreet spot under the roof (ie a hidden stud) and snap the Dock 6 into place.

Plug in the string lights using a belt cable.

Step 5: Add Warm White Lighting

Place Astro lights inside lanterns, windows, or wall lamps.

Use a belt to plug them into your dock. With their compact size these lights are ideal for small details.

Step 6: Add Warm Astro Light to the Lantern

These warm white flicker lights simulate flames—perfect for fireplaces or outdoor lanterns.

Step 7: Organise Your Cables

Use tethers and the eclipse clip to keep cables neat. Route belts between studs, not over them, for a clean look.

Step 8: Power Up

Attach your Flux Converter to the dock using a belt.

Plug it into a USB power source (5V or higher) to light up your stunning festive masterpiece!

Following these tips will create a seamlessly integrated lighting system for your LEGO® build. Simple and tidy with every step!

Note: Power adapters aren’t included in the starter pack but are available in the Power section on the Light My Bricks™ website.
