Important things to note:
Laying cables in between and underneath bricks
Cables can fit 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 fit 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 fit easily into a port connector,
don’t force it. Doing so will damage the plug and the connector.

Connecting Micro Cable connectors to Micro Expansion Board
Ports
Take extra care when inserting the micro connectors to micro ports of Micro Expansion Boards.
Connecting Micro Bit Lights to Micro Expansion Boards is similar to connecting lights and cables
to Strip Lights. With the expansion board facing up, ensure the side of the connector with the
wires exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t fit easily into a port connector, do not force it. Use
your fingernail to push the plastic part of the connector to the micro port.
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 first install the LED light bars inside the lightsaber blade. Disconnectthe lightsaber
from Yoda, then carefully detach the left side section as show below:

Disassemble the lightsaber, then disconnect half of the trans green round bricks to allow us to
fully remove the white technic axle bar.
2.) Organise the lightsaber blade into two equally long sections, then take out an LED Light
Bar 12cm. Thread the top of the bar through the bottom half of the blade (through the technic
hole). Thread the bar all the way through, then pull it out from the top. Continue to thread the

entire bar through the bottom of the top half of the blade as shown below. Bring the bottom
half of the blade up and reconnect it to the top half.

Take the second LED Light Bar 12cm and thread the top of the bar all the way through the
bottom of the blade until it meets the bottom of the first led light bar. The cable from the first
light bar should be kept inside one of the four grooves from the Technic axle.

3.) Group the ends of the two light bar cables together and thread themthrough the top of
the three 2×2 round plates. Pull the cables all the way out from underneath the plates, then
reconnect them to the bottom of the blade.

Ensure the two cables are laid together inside one of the axle hole grooves, then take the
provided LEGO Bar 3L (any colour) and connect it to the axle hole. The provided LEGO bar will
be used to hold the blade to the handle section. The cables should be secured neatly inside the
axle groove as shown below:

Ensure the two cables are laid through the gap of the bottom of the light grey 2×2 round plate,
then reconnect this entire section to the handle section via the provided LEGO bar. Ensure the
cables are laid out the opposite side of the lightsaber button, then reconnect the upper part of
the handle.

4.) Connect the two LED light bar cables to a 6-Port Expansion Board. Take a 5cm Connecting
Cable and connect it to the end port on the expansion board, then connect the other end of the
cable to one of the OUT ports on the Pulse Effects Board (PFX).
Take a 15cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Pulse Effects Board, then
connect the other end of the cable to a new 6-Port Expansion Board.

Take a USB Power Cable and connect it to the end port on the 6-port Expansion Board from
previous step, then connect the USB connection end to your USB Power Bank or wall adaptor
(sold separately). Turn it ON to test the LED light bars in the blade are working OK. Take this time
to configure your desired pulse effect by choosing from one of the three settings via the switch.
Fast Pulse, Medium Pulse, Slow Pulse.

Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a
component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies
(with the light, expansion board or effects board). To correct any issues with expansion board
ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting
guide.
5.) Take out the Light My Bricks Lightsaber Green and connect it to a spare port on the first
6-port expansion board (the same board the light bars are connected to).

Bring the Yoda left side section we disconnected at the start, then disconnect the following light
grey 2×12 plate from the inside of it.

6.) Reconnect the lightsaber to Yoda’s hand ensuring the cables are laid behind.Bring the two
cables down the inside of the left section and lay them inside as shown below. Reconnect the
2×12 plate with the cables laid underneath.

Fold the two cables into a neat bunch as shown below, then tuck it inside the following space,
along with the 6-port expansion board and pulse effects board.
Carefully reconnect the entire left side section ensuring the cables are neatly laid out
underneath.
