Is the PAIN to install it WORTH IT? - Lightailing Rivendell light kit review 

I love how lighting kits bring sets to life. And i agree the set of lights for Rivendell makes the it look trully magical.

Love the genuine enthusiasm 👍👍👍

The best part is seeing your smile and excitement seeing the finished product. I’m new to the LEGO collecting community and really enjoyed your video. Cheers!

Love this channel everything is nice and slowly paced and i can relax and watch along

It looks gorgeous and I know that the lights look even more magical off camera. I love grumpy cat in there 😂

A solution to make the cables less visible is to sharpie them in the background colour.

The rivendell set looks really good in lights great video have a great week Johanna ❤️

Turned out so beautiful ❤

looking good, loving the lights

Hey! 💖 As a crafter, I would suggest to try coloring the cables. Buy alcohol based markers and paint the visible parts of the cables before putting them in. Like a brown color for the candle cables that are running under the tables and grey for the cables surrounding the statues etc. I can imagine that it's a frightning thought at first, but maybe u try it on a small project sometime in the future. 🎉 Love ur content, greetings from Germany 💖

That looks amazing! Very magical! I might have to get the light kit for mine now 😀

You said it yourself, it honest to goodness looks magical! The Rivendell set screams for a lighting kit in my opinion. I’m glad to see it really does add to the aura. Great job on the install and review! I’m sure you inspire many to try out or at least think about light kits with these videos and your city itself.

Very neat!

12:58 Rave night @ Rivendell! 😂 Just need some Underworld banging and add a flashing board to the circuit! 😂

I really want to see a closer look at the forge section. It looks so cozy and nice especially with the light kit. Is there any chance you would do another video on looking at each section a bit closer?

thelights are so pretty.

That was a really awesome video going through the motions of installing the light kid. The look is amazing and the end product is great. Thanks for doing that. Quick question... what shelving units do you use? I'm looking to display bigger models like Diagon Alley but not sure what to get

Its an improvement to an already beautiful set, but the blue and green colours do look unnatural (at least on camera). When all your sets are on display with lights on though, holy cow!!! Perfection

The light s I talk about in my other coment are a wire with tinny little light s on the wire so easy to bend an whant snap like wire s and the other style have cee thru plasticky over the wire s 😊 an the bonus is can you's rechargeable battery and save yousing main s power as it not as salf

Very BEAUTIFUL ❤

The next Lego kit I do I'm gonna have to try them out. Lighting kits adds more magic to them even though they can be pains

Glad you like it, for me persoanlly the green and blue is too bright, I think that needs be be more subtle lighting and it would be great if the blue slowly dimmed to give that running water effect, as you said the candles flickering would have also been awesome.

Hell yeah it's worth it

That’s awesome

Hmmm, I only added the light kit from the new lighthouse. It works perfectly and less than 5 minutes to install.

Really beautifull ❤❤❤

Hi Joanne as you had experience adding lighting kits do you rather add the lighting as you build or find it easier once built the set. Cas of the high price s on lighting kit s an the wires wich I hate unless can not cee the wire s add I have bean just yousing thos fairy light with battery box at end if the wire and .just threaded the light s thru my set s .an got slack. I should of tryed better to tack them into place but tried my best to to place each light on the wire .my moduler look like. I yousing lighting kit add and only $3.50 each one.😊

Thanks

Perfect！

I think if you remove the main rooms light leaving just the candles and Dim the green and blue lights I think you'd be onto something that looks really nice a little more realistic but still fantasyesque

I've just bought my rivendell set and was interested in lighting it, but I don't have any previous experience installing these kits. Should I get a kit for a smaller set first for practice, or should I just go straight into this one?

Question, does it come with the battery thingy to plug in the usb ports?

When I was looking for light kits for Rivendell I found this one and I found Game of Bricks an LeLightGo. When I checked their product videos I saw that Game of Bricks and LeLightGo are using the exact same video, they only changed the logo. Do you know LeLightGo and do you know if they are in any way affiliated to Game of Bricks?

Wow 😮 that is beautiful😊😲💥👌👌 magical..I like

Looks good but the interiros and the gazebo look way brighter than they should.

Overall lighting is great but this lights are so bright that it takes all the magic behind rivendell. And again its more christmass tree rather rivendell magic inside 😢

Is it better to build the set entirely first and then do the light-tailing? Or better to do it while building the set? I’ve just started building it for the first time.

Hi there. Another very good video, thank you. The result does look good overall and I think this Lego set in particular is massively enhanced by lighting. To my eyes however it looks a bit over lit by this kit? The ethereal atmosphere of Rivendell is somewhat lost? Or is that just the way the camera makes it look? Disappointed no flickering lights - would be ideal for this set, in my opinion. I’m obsessed with hiding cables (particularly for this set as I don’t think cabling would have been part of the average Elven household 😂). I don’t tend to use Lightailing as to hide cables as part of one string is much harder than individual components. Indeed where necessary (now you may not want me to be a member of your channel after I admit this) I drill holes and create channels to run cables through bricks (is that Lego heresy?) Anyway this technique, in general, won’t work for Lightailing - but it would work well, for example, when using individual components for the candles on the desks. But as I say thanks again for another quality video, it’s given me ideas and things to think about as I plan my own lighting set up for Rivendell.

Looks really cool. But i wouldnt be able to do it. My rivendell would be destroyed through frustration lol

Hey, is there an option to tone down the brightness at all?

johanna could you do a video about your light kits setup behind the scenes (the usb ports you plug all the light kits in and what you use)

Lightmybricks just released their light kit, what are your thoughts on it, compared to your kit, and what do you think about their price point?

What shelves do you use? 😊

Bello

No pain no gain...

Tweezers costs 10$ not free.

"computer, turn on the lights".... you sound like you like Star Trek ;)

The green and blue lights are too overpowering. It unbalances the scene.

Should have sponsored in the video heading top left

I love her speech impediment 😍

Wouw!!!! That looks beautiful!!!😍😍😍 Magical indeed 🧝‍♂️🧝‍♀️🧝
