Operating Instructions
To power your Brick Shine light kit, you have two primary options:

- USB Power: Connect the built-in USB cable to a USB power bank or a USB wall adapter (not included). The lights will turn on once a stable power connection is established.
There is no on/off switch on the light kit itself; power is controlled by connecting or disconnecting the power source. For prolonged display, USB power is recommended.

- Power Source: If using batteries, remove them if the kit will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage.
