As we get older, Lego becomes less of a toy and more of a serious hobby that we appreciate for its aesthetics and challenge. Kits for adults have become more popular as new series are released. From flower arrangements to coffee shops and the Titanic, Lego is a great way to decorate your space. But if you’re ready to take your Lego hobby to the next step – artistic obsession – Light My Bricks has you covered.
Light My Bricks is an Australian company that makes LED lighting kits that are specifically designed to be installed into Lego sets. The lighting kits come with the LEDs, connecting cables, adhesives and instructions required to install them into the pre-built Lego set of your choice.
The kits are plug and play, so as long as you follow the provided instructions, it’s easy to light up your Lego displays. The only thing to note is that the kits don’t come with a power source – you’ll need to provide your own. Light My Bricks recommend using a USB power bank or USB wall adaptor, both of which are available on its website.
Of course, you’ll need to make sure that the lighting kit to match your Lego set is available, but there are kits for a wide variety of sets – including Ninjago, Batman and, of course, Star Wars.
What Light My Bricks kits are available?
There are a variety of kits currently available, with a focus on larger Lego sets like buildings, vehicles and popular franchises, but here are some of our favourites:
Lego Star Wars Millennium Falcon
Of all the franchises in the Lego universe, Star Wars is the most well-known. The huge array of Lego figures in the series ranges from ships to scene dioramas and characters helmets. But the classic Lego Star Wars build is the Millennium Falcon. If you already have this Lego set, you can now bring it to life with its very own lights.

Lego Optimus Prime
For $149.99, you can grab this Optimus Prime lighting kit that even has flickering lights for his jet pack boosters. The leader of the Autobots will be absolutely glowing in both his truck and robot forms.
If you don’t already have the Optimus Prime Lego set, you can get it here.
Lego Bookshop
If reading and European architecture are more up your alley, this Lego Bookshop light kit is perfect for making sure your store is open 24 hours a day. This particular Lego set is part of the Modular Buildings series, so care has been taken to ensure the lighting kit doesn’t interfere with the playability and manoeuvrability of the set.

Lego Super Mario The Mighty Bowser
Gamers, rejoice! The Mighty Bowser Lego set has also had a glow-up thanks to Light My Bricks. With flickering lights and dancing flames to replicate Bowser’s lava-filled dungeon, King Koopa looks right at home in this fiery display.

Lego Tranquil Garden
This lit up version of the Lego Tranquil Garden set will bring your display the zen it deserves. During the day, the garden looks peaceful, but at night, it becomes a gorgeous source of warm lamplight that acts as a charming addition to any Lego collection. Personally, I have my eyes on this kit.
If you don’t have the Lego Tranquil Garden set yet, you can get it here.
Lego Ford Mustang GT
This one’s for the rev heads. This light kit upgrades this American muscle car by adding headlights and a switch that turns on the cabin light inside the car when the doors are opened. Just make sure you close the doors properly afterwards so the car’s battery doesn’t run out.
