Here I show how to add some DIY street lamps or lights to your Lego city. I completely hide the wires and use LEDs to light up my custom / moc street lamps. I will do all of the lamps in my Lego City like this so that it all lights up and looks awesome.
Let me know what questions you might have or check out my playlist on home made lights for your lego city.
Thank you!!

Mr. Bricks, I realize that the video is 2 years old , but I would like to tell you that it is very informative . I have a pretty decent lego collection . I'm 50 and decided 2 weeks ago to illuminate everything I could . Out of all the content out there yours was the best . Thank you.

Thank you for the kind words. I had the same issue, everyone uses this obnoxiously expensive pre made deals. This cost me a couple bucks. Glad it helps! I’ve made lights for a bunch of buildings, but have yet to make a power distribution header so I can light them all at once. They’re sure nice lit up though!

That is very impressive! The finished product is amazing in person!

Lamps look awesome, but how crazy is it that LEGO had a perfectly working light and sound system 30 years ago and now one has to drill holes and have fat cables underneath the baseplates to bring light into the City. SAD

@MRNBricks 4 года назад

That's the truth. It'd be pretty simple to at least make a hole all the way through the part!

Nice job! I'm going to run my wires under my Lego table and them put the resistors in if needed. Also I'm going to run the street lights in parallel so they are all the same brightness. The buildings will have seperate lines to turn on and off.

@MRNBricks 4 года назад

Nice. There's a ton of different ways to do it. It depends on how crazy you want to get with your wiring. Your way sounds like it'd work great.

Thanks for the nice video detailing your process. Where did you source the micro LEDs?

@MRNBricks 3 года назад

It was eBay. Just search micro leds. It’s some of the first ones that come up. Good luck!!

Thank you.

Looks like a good strategy and a neat way to modify pieces without completely damaging them severely.

@MRNBricks 6 лет назад

Thank you. You can't really tell that I did anything to them unless you get right up close to them. Except for the post that I messed up, I suppose! haha.

I was hoping to see a parts/pieces list in the vid description. Thanks for posting.

@MRNBricks 4 года назад

Good idea.

@bartlibert622 4 года назад

@@MRNBricks good idea, but still no parts list. Would be interested to know the partnumbers of the lamp too. The pole is 2039, but the rest ?

Wauw - I really like your custom street lights - the double lamp is really nice! I would hurt myself with a drill doing stuff like that - that's for sure! I'm really amazed about your ability to do this! You said one was a lot quicker to make than the other - how long does it take to make one at this point? And how many do you need to make? How will you get the plates to flatten when there is wiring underneath!? Ohh, you should make a sewer system/underground under your city for all the wiring - complete with spooky ghost trains and old forgotten passages and stuff - that would be awesome :-D Ha, love how you made the short go in slow motion - great! And wauw - the result is WONDERFUL! Maybe if you can turn down the lumen a bit or have a more yellow-ish light, it might look more cozy!? Just a thought :-) Keep up the great work MRN - I love this lighting project :-)

I only made what is shown in the video. I can't remove the street lamps very easily after they're wired, so I'll hold off until I get my new layout ready. The first one took around 45 minutes. The second one took about 10. If I got a drill press for the posts, probably 5 minutes. There was a pretty steep learning curve. The underground idea is good. I thought about a aquaduct or a pipeline or something to hide the header wires. Underground is good, too! You can dim the lights by adding a bigger resistor. These are "bright white". The have some that are "soft white" or something that are probably what you're suggesting. They have a more yellow color. I'll have to experiment and see which ones look best.

MariosRightNut great - it’s probably good to wait with the rest of the project for now until you get everything else in place! I’m really looking forward to seeing this is a city - it’ll be awesome :-)
