Third party light kits, are these good purchase?

[Ondra]

I recently bought two star wars sets yoda and R2D2 and I just learn abought light kits...

I read some reviews, but still cannot decide. What pushes me back is price of these kit which is around 1/3 price of set at lowest and none light kit is perfect in every way. I read some are flimsy.

 

Is there anybody who use these light kits? I would hear some opinion, thank you in advance.

I’ve only had experience with one, but I wouldn’t recommend Lightailing.  Flimsy stuff, the adapter cable broke in about 5 minutes and I had to buy a new one off Amazon.  Though I’ve not used it because it’s so expensive, Brickstuff and Light My Bricks seem to the best in my opinion.  I don’t know about Brickstuff, but LMB has magnetic conductor adapters which allow you to take modular floors apart while still having the kit installed - far superior to my experience of Lightailing I think.

Thanks for info.

Light my bricks are only kits available here in some eshops, these price are around half of price of sets I bought. They dont vary of price on official stores.

So I still cannot decide, I probably buy more sets instead of lights
