How I LIGHT UP A LEGO City like a BOSS!

[@epluribusunum7736]

Battery packs work best for mobile sets Hard wired lights work best for long term display

[@ej3ae]

I admire your dedication and attention to detail with the lighting.

[@BricknIt]

Thanks so much Joanna :)

I do really love light kits for Lego but they cost a lot of money and I would rather get new sets than brick lighting kits though i do t blame you for getting them cause they look awesome!!!

[@BricknIt]

Yeah they cost a lot of monies! I do live how they look though :)

[@andrewtaylor940]

There is a point where you run out of city space. That’s when you start improving the city you have.

[@anjelcastro9756]

Thank you. I’m beginning to light my lego city, and that last tip helps especially

[@accuratebrickinnovations]

Excellent video! I have been wondering for months how I would go about lighting up my city and you have really clarified a nice vision of how to go about the process. Thank you for this!

[@SirBricks]

The city looks so good with lights!

[@BricknIt]

Thanks so much :) very expensive but I totally think it’s worth it :)

[@epiccitybuilders]

Your design idea is nearly exactly what I have been planning on! I'm using wiring and resistors to reduce the 5 volt USB power. Great video 👍

[@JackoStudios]

I love the clips your using

[@BricknIt]

Thanks :) trying to add some pop culture to the vids :)

[@daroy1984]

Love the IT Crowd edit 😂

[@BricknIt]

Thanks mate :) yeah I love IT Crowd :)

[@johnstrohmeyer4570]

I have not bought a light kit in a couple years. I did not know about these wireless connectors, I will have to get myself some, thank you!

[@BricknIt]

No worries mate :) yeah I think they really help with the light kits :)

[@LEGOMadness]

as always loved the vid, just thought at some points the music was fairly loud so maybe turn it down a tiny bit if you can but anyway keep up the great work and keep brick'n it

[@BricknIt]

Yeah still trying to nail but like audio and stuff :) I need to invest in some good headphones :)

[@HandriNel]

I am so happy to learn about the wireless connector!! :D you made my day

[@thomasr4945]

Place some of the Wireless Connector in your roads. So you can put Cars on it 😉 bricksonville does this in his city

[@BricknIt]

That’s sounds awesome! I’ll definetely have to look into that!

[@BuddysBricksHasTheBestChannel]

Always awesome videos man! Enjoying the vids! And also I want to get a light kit myself.

[@BricknIt]

Thanks :) once your get one light kit you won’t stop 😂

Nice tips. Thank you.

Just wanna say lobe the way the videos are like the edits and professionally bettered

[@BricknIt]

Thanks so much :)

[@oxygen454]

Great video. I’m wiring my city. Their website says the power usb source needs to be less than 5 volts? Most of my lights are wired to 3 volts

[@FabBlondiesBricks]

Very helpful! I’m catching up on watching videos today. I fell a little behind!

[@KelliCopter]

This looks awesome! 🙌

[@carlkneller6480]

Your videos are next level ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@BricknIt]

Thanks so much! Glad people are liking the new editing style :)

[@caragarton6583]

If you have brought a light kit that already has all the lights attached to each other etc... How do uou install the wireless power connectors? Do you have to cut the cable and re solder?

[@huxleycunningham4434]

yay more content its soooo good! honestlyA

[@BricknIt]

Thanks so much :) trying to make the vids as good as possible :)

[@QuantumPropsWorkshop]

Love the vid chris

[@BricknIt]

Thanks so much :)

[@BrickfordCityFire]

Great video! Meanwhile, I am over here programming and wiring my own lighting setups for my fire department.

[@BricknIt]

That’s absolutely crazy! Like I said the missus won’t let me need a soldering iron 😂

[@kapoorhouseatl]

the lampposts in my city light up and i run the wires under the tiles on the sidewalks and i just lighted up the haunted house for my town 😁😄

[@BricknIt]

That’s so cool! Lighting up the street lamps was what I was gonna do :)

[@kapoorhouseatl]

it’s a really good way to get into doing lights i think bc they’re really easy compared to lighting a building

[@Fearless.A1]

Props to you for having some bomb edits

[@BricknIt]

Thanks so much :) glad your enjoying it!

[@simon37359]

I dread to think of the spaghetti of cables under the city, those magnetic connectors are cool. Wonder if the cheaper powered USB hubs would be ok too?

[@BricknIt]

Yeah I’m trying to manage it as much as possible 😂

[@tryingagain14]

Hi. Thanks for this. Dumb question. I assume the wireless connection work with briksmax kits. I'm working on wiring bookshop and not fussy about not being able to move floors easily

[@BricknIt]

Yeah the wireless kits work on brikxmax which is awesome :) as you can use both kits together :)

[@tryingagain14]

@@BricknIt thanks great to know

[@shawnbauer9835]

Cool video. I really just wanted to comment about the IT Crowd. I love that show, my favorite quote, “people, what a bunch of bastards” 😂😂😂 Love the work you two do.

[@BricknIt]

Thanks mate! Trying to make the vids as fun as possible :)

[@InvestedCard33]

Have you seen Bricksonvilles city? He has it lit up like crazy

[@BricknIt]

Yeah I watched a couple of those vids. The city looks so good with all the lights!

[@landedfalcon1605]

Good vid Chris! Very much like what I am doing minus the voice activation. I have gone with remote controlled plugs instead. In terms of kits, I prefer the lightailing ones rather than the two you mentioned... I hate the fiddly connections! The problem with lightailing is that there is a lot of usb connections flying about all over the place. Oh well

[@BricknIt]

Yeah I already had the smart plug so thought why not :)

[@demonslayer9772]

The next generation of LEDs now come in wireless or contactless.

[@BricknIt]

Yeah I love the wireless connectors. So nice!

[@PedrokasPT]

Great Video Chris ! As all your videos 🙂 Good tips I am using Lightailing (they also represent BriksMax as you know) but I really think Lightailing is much more easier to add than BriksMax....Of course I understand that I loose a bit the "customisation Level" ... I have one question for you: do you know if those wireless Briksmax components work together also with Lightailing ? See doing great videos ! Your passion with lego is amazing and contagious 🙂 Once again greetings from Portugal !

[@bleedingedge6187]

Ok... now... you have to show us your city please

[@BricknIt]

I do a full showcase on Saturday :)

[@bleedingedge6187]

Dude what are you doing now?

[@Mjsqueerbookclub]

Iv enjoyed so much watching you grow as a creator! Your editing is so good and makes the video a lot more enjoyable (not that they wasn’t already enjoyable 😂). Well done! 🙌🏻 🇬🇧

[@BricknIt]

Thank you 😊 that really means a lot :)

[@jamface9467]

Where is Keith? is he ok, is he safe

[@BricknIt]

Haha he’s safe :) just sleeping 😂

[@judetaylor2969]

I was going to buy light kits for the city but I feel like this spoils the set

[@BricknIt]

Yeah it’s definetely makes the sets less playable and moveable. That’s the reason us don’t add them to my Star Wars ships :/

[@aliciqNL]

Dude come to the point

[@legobrixz]

Me: buys 25 adapters cuz I live in Europe.

[@tomyboy1]

I use Briksmax and some Lightailing. www.lightailing.com/ This is my setup, work in progress, still weight for some street lights. shrani.si/f/2R/di/2ycUumiK/lego-city-lights1.jpg I much prefer Brikmax. Bought so many kits that I can not instal them completely custom with no instructions. You just buy the biggest sets with the best parts inside, for a good price and you can light up multiple modulars and cars with on or two kits. Ghostbuster fire hous for example is on discount with large amount of lights, already bought a lot of them. You can buy whatever accessories you need. Also one good thing with Briksmax is that only on USB cable that comes out from the back. From other kits it is nice that is all plug and play you have lights already attached to the legos, but you have much more clutter with cables as they are all connected and you also usually end up with 5-8 usb cables coming from the back and you have to connect this tho 1-5/8 adapter...

[@BricknIt]

Yeah that’s I use brickmax over lightailing aswell :) a lot cleaner and easy to tidy :)

[@daedalusxf]

He said "flashlight" instead of "torch".

[@polarbrix]

Crazy amount of money to be swallowed up but adding lights. don't think its for me, I mean it looks cool, but how much more Lego can you get for the cash! :)

[@BricknIt]

Definetely! I get them when they are on offer but I agree they are still really expensive! I don’t have massive amounts of room for the city so I thought lighting it up just makes it looks a bit nicer :)
