Important Installation Considerations
Successful installation requires attention to detail, particularly concerning cable management and component connections. Light My Bricks advises users to lay cables carefully between and underneath LEGO bricks, plates, and tiles, ensuring they rest comfortably between studs without forcing connections. This prevents damage to both the cables and LEGO elements.
When connecting cables to Expansion Boards and Strip Lights, proper orientation is crucial. Connectors are designed to fit in only one way; forcing them can result in bent pins, overheating, or damage to the components. Users should always ensure the exposed wire side of the connector faces the designated symbol or direction as indicated in the instructions.
For any installation issues or troubleshooting, Light My Bricks recommends consulting their comprehensive online troubleshooting guide.
