Setup and Installation

1. Preparation

• Ensure your LEGO Ideas Tree House 21318 model is fully assembled before installing the light kit.
• Unpack all components and verify against the "Package Contents" list.
• Prepare a clean, well-lit workspace.

2. Installation Steps

The VONADO LED Light Kit is designed for easier installation with integrated light lines that are nicely hidden after installation. Follow the detailed picture or video instructions provided separately (usually via a QR code or link in the physical manual) for step-by-step guidance specific to the LEGO Tree House 21318 model.

1. Identify Components: Familiarize yourself with the different types of lights (bit lights, strip lights, multi-color strings) and connecting cables.
2. Integrate Lights: Carefully integrate the LED lights into the LEGO model. The design aims to hide cables effectively, often by routing them between LEGO bricks or through existing gaps.
3. Connect to Expansion Boards: Use the 2-socket and 6-socket expansion boards to connect multiple lights. Ensure connections are secure.
4. Route Cables: Route all connecting cables neatly to the main power source connection point, minimizing visibility.
5. Connect Power: Connect the USB Power Cable to one of the expansion boards.
6. Flicker-Effects Board: If desired, integrate the Flicker-Effects Board into the circuit to add dynamic lighting effects.

3. Power Supply Options

The LED lighting kit offers flexible power options:

• USB Cable: Connect the provided USB power cable to a power bank, a wall socket adapter (not included), or a computer's USB port. Ensure the power source provides less than 5V.
• Battery Box: (A battery case is included, but batteries are not.) Insert the required batteries (not included) into the battery box and connect it to the light kit.

Important: The recommended voltage for the power supply is less than 5V. Exceeding this voltage may damage the light kit.

Operating Instructions

Once the light kit is fully installed and connected to a power source:

• Power On: If using a USB power source, simply connect it to an active USB port. If using a battery box, ensure batteries are correctly inserted and the switch is in the "ON" position.
• Power Off: Disconnect the USB power cable or switch off the battery box.
• Flicker Effects: If the Flicker-Effects Board is installed, it will automatically provide dynamic lighting effects to the connected lights. There are typically no user-adjustable settings for this board.
