- Light Effects: The kit includes both steady and slow-flashing lights (red and green dot lights). These effects are pre-programmed into the respective LED components and will activate automatically upon power-up.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your BRIKSMAX LED Lighting Kit.
- Cleaning: To clean the LED components or wires, gently wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using liquids or abrasive cleaners.
- Battery Replacement: If using the battery box and lights dim or stop working, replace the AA batteries. Ensure correct polarity during replacement.
- Storage: If storing the LEGO model with the lighting kit for an extended period, it is recommended to remove the batteries from the battery box to prevent leakage.
- Wire Inspection: Periodically inspect wires for any signs of wear, fraying, or damage. If damage is found, discontinue use and contact support.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your BRIKSMAX LED Lighting Kit, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Lights do not turn on. | No power, incorrect battery installation, loose connection. | Check if the battery box switch is ON or if the USB cable is connected to a working power source. Ensure batteries are correctly inserted. Verify all wire connections are secure. |
| Some lights are not working. | Loose connection, damaged LED, faulty expansion board. | Check the connections for the specific non-working lights to the expansion board. Inspect the wire for damage. If a single LED is damaged, it may need replacement. |
| Lights are dim or flickering. | Low battery power, unstable power source. | Replace batteries in the battery box. If using USB, try a different USB port or power adapter. |
| Wires are visible or pinched. | Improper wire routing during installation. | Carefully re-route wires to be hidden within the LEGO structure. Ensure no bricks are pressing excessively on the wires. |
