Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LED lighting kit, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Cleaning: Gently dust the LED lights and wires with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using liquid cleaners directly on the electrical components.
• Storage: If you need to store your LEGO model with the lighting kit, ensure it is in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Battery Replacement: If using battery power, replace all 3 AAA batteries simultaneously when the lights dim or stop working. Do not mix old and new batteries.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your LocoLee LED Lighting Kit, please refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Lights Not Turning On:
  • Check all power connections. Ensure the USB cable is securely plugged in or that batteries are correctly inserted and not depleted.
  • Verify that the power source (USB adapter or batteries) is functional.
  • If using a remote, ensure the remote's battery is working and that you are within range.
• Some Lights Not Working:
  • Inspect the connections to the expansion board for the non-working lights. Re-seat any loose connections.
  • Check for any pinched or broken wires. If a wire is damaged, contact customer support for assistance.
• Lights are Dim:
  • If using batteries, they may be low. Replace them with fresh ones.
  • For brighter output, use a USB power source instead of batteries.
  • If using a remote, ensure the brightness setting is at its maximum.
