   • Conceal wires as much as possible within the LEGO structure to maintain the aesthetic integrity of the model.
   • Connect the cables to the expansion boards, ensuring correct polarity if applicable.
5. Power Connection:
   • Connect the expansion boards to the main power source via the USB Power Cable or the AA Battery Holder.
   • If using the battery holder, insert the required AA batteries (not included).
6. Testing:
   • Before fully reassembling your LEGO model, connect the power and test all lights to ensure they are functioning correctly.
   • If any lights are not working, check the connections and ensure wires are not damaged.
7. Reassembly:

5. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your lighting kit:

• Cleaning: Gently dust the LED components and wires with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
• Wire Care: Periodically inspect wires for any signs of wear, pinching, or damage. Ensure they remain securely routed and concealed.
• Battery Replacement: If using the battery holder, replace AA batteries when lights dim or cease to function. Ensure correct battery orientation.
• Storage: If storing the LEGO model, ensure wires are not under tension or pressure to prevent damage.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your BRIKSMAX LED Lighting Kit, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• Lights Not Illuminating:
  • Check the power source: Ensure the USB cable is securely connected or that the battery holder has fresh batteries and is switched on.
  • Verify all cable connections: Ensure each LED component is properly connected to an expansion board, and expansion boards are connected to the power source.
  • Inspect wires for damage: Look for any pinched, cut, or broken wires.
• Flickering Lights:
  • Loose connections: Re-seat all cable connections firmly.
  • Insufficient power: If using batteries, they may be low. Replace them. If using USB, try a different USB port or adapter.
• Remote Control Not Responding:
  • Check the remote control battery: Replace the CR2025 battery if necessary.
  • Ensure line of sight: Point the remote directly at the receiver board.
• Adhesive Strips Detaching:
  • Reapply with stronger adhesive: If the included adhesive is insufficient, use a small amount of model-safe glue or stronger adhesive squares to secure the light strips.
