Laying cables in between and underneath bricks
Cables can t in between and underneath LEGO® bricks, plates, and tiles
providing they are laid correctly between the LEGO® studs. Do NOT
forcefully join LEGO® together around cables; instead ensure they are
laying comfortably in between each stud.
CAUTION: Forcing LEGO® to connect over a
cable can result in damaging the cable and light.
Connecting cable connectors to Expansion Boards

Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports of Expansion Boards.
Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the expansion board
facing up, look for the soldered “=” symbol on the left side of the port.
The connector side with the wires exposed should be facing toward the
soldered “=” symbol as you insert into the port. If a plug won’t t easily into
a port connector, do not force it.
Incorrectly inserting the connector can can
result in bent pins inside the port or possible
overheating of the expansion board when
connected.
Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights
Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports on the Strip Lights.
Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the Strip Light facing up,
ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If
a plug won’t t easily into a port connector, don’t force it. Doing so will
damage the plug and the connector.

Installing Bit Lights under LEGO® bricks and plates.
When installing Bit Lights under LEGO® pieces, ensure they are placed the
correct way up (Yellow LED component exposed). You can either place
them directly on top of LEGO® studs or in between.

OK, Let’s Begin!

. . .
1.) We will start by installing lights to the left side of the building. Firstremove all
levels as well as the boat from the set.
Take the second oor and place it on its back so we can access underneath.

2.) Take the Blue Strip Light and using it’s adhesive backing, stick it to the base of a
provided LEGO Plate 1x6
Take a 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the strip light. Connect the
other end of the cable to the end port of a 6-Port Expansion Board
Stick 2x Adhesive Squares to the base of the expansion board and then
mount both expansion board and strip light underneath the second oor in
the below position.

3.) Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the left port on the Blue Strip
Light. Lay the cable underneath the 2x8 Plate in between studs as per below.

Take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x AA batteries to it. Connect the
Battery Pack cable to the 6-port expansion board as per below.

4.) Take another 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to one of the ports on the
6-port Expansion Board. Lay the cable underneath the right 2x8 plate ensuring it
is laid in between studs.

Turn the oor over and then reconnect it back on top of the ground oor
ensuring the 15cm Connecting Cable from each side is sticking out.

The AA Battery Pack can be positioned against the wall as per below. Turn
it on the test the Blue Strip Light is working OK.

5.) Take the other end of the 15cm cable from the left side and thenpull it up and
then secure it underneath the 1x8 tile on the top of the oor.
6.) Take the third oor and remove the lantern piece from the behind and then turn
the whole oor onto it’s left at side so that we can access underneath.

7.) Remove the pieces from the top of the lantern.

Take a White 15cm Bit Light and place it inside the hole of the lantern
piece. Secure it in place by reconnecting the pieces we removed earlier
ensuring the LED component is facing the front of the lantern and that the
cable is facing the back.
Reconnect the lantern back to the bottom of the third oor then lay the
cable toward the inside of the building underneath the light grey 2x6 plate
ensuring the cable is laid in between studs.

Connect the other end of the Bit Light cable from the lantern to a new 6-
Port Expansion Board.
8.) Take 2x White Strip Lights and stick them to 2x Provided LEGO Plates
1x6.

Connect them together using a 5cm Connecting Cable then take another
5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the outside port of one of the
strip lights.
Connect the other end of the 5cm connecting cable to the 6 port
expansion board and then take a 30cm Connecting Cable and connect it to
left port on the other Strip Light.

9.) Disconnect the brown 1x6 plate on the right side underneath thethird
ood, then mount both strip lights underneath in the below position
ensuring the 30cm Connecting cable is facing the bottom.
Reconnect the brown 1x6 plate we removed earlier and then lay the 30cm
connecting cable underneath the bottom brown 1x6 plate.

Ensure all cables are laid in between studs
10.) Take the other end of the 30cm Connecting Cable and thread it
down the following space in the corner. Pull it all the way out from
underneath.

Eliminate excess cable from the lantern bit light by folding and then
twisting the cable around itself a few times.
11.) Turn the third oor over and remove the following tiles from the
top to allow us to remove the door section.
