Admiral Ron Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Ok, so I am building a port, and I was hoping to put some light in a building or two, so which brick in bricklink should I get? Thanks in advance! Quote
Big Cam Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 There is a MOC that I just read yesterday and it used a creator piece with two LED's. I'm searching like crazy to find it. They looked much better than the lighting bricks. EDIT: found it. I'd use what he used. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=34910 Quote
Admiral Ron Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 That is some cool lighting, but I was looking for a deeper yellow to make it look more like candles, but I want those lights to use in a Star Wars creation or something. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Lifelites are very popular. I've never tried them myself, but I've heard that most people like them. Another option would be this light brick that comes in the Agents Mobile Command Center set. It has a pretty good yellow-orange light. Hope that helps. Good luck! Quote

Lord Augusta Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 The battery in the "light brick" is able to be replace, isnt it? Quote
SlyOwl Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 The reason I haven't tryed Lifelites is firstly, There quite expensive. And Secondly, Were do you hide the wires? Decent LEDs are reasonably cheaply available at most good electronic/hardware stores - in England it can be problematic, but Squires is a good place to get them. Many have just the right diameter to fit into the hole in a technic brick. Wiring is a problem, but with a bit of ingenuity, and perhaps some customization, it's possible to hide them successfully.

Admiral Ron Posted November 3, 2009 Author Posted November 3, 2009 Lifelites look pretty cool, but i notice they are blue, and I was hoping for candleness, but i now see which lightbrick to use, Does it need wires? Quote
Tom Bricks Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 Lifelites look pretty cool, but i notice they are blue, and I was hoping for candleness, but i now see which lightbrick to use, Does it need wires? No the back part is a button that needs to be pushed in for the light to work. I was thinking of the same thing but I'm not sure how long these last. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I'm almost positive that the batteries are replaceable. I remember something about it in the Mobile Command Center instructions. Quote
BillytheKid Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 You buy a trainspeedregulator, 9v light and 9v wire. In this way no problems with batteries and you can decide how bright the light should burn. You can take these lights, they are small: And you can add pole reverser and 9v motors to give have more fun. Quote
CommanderFox Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 Those Lifelites look interisting! I would love to use them in a SW MOC CommanderFox Quote
Big Cam Posted November 4, 2009 Posted November 4, 2009 I personally think buying some LED's from Radio Shack or someplace like that and running your own wire to a battery is going to be the cheapest and easiest way to add light. All the transistors and everythig can usually be bought at a radio shack for pretty cheap. Quote
