The LEGO Ideas Lighthouse does not use a light brick; it uses a Powered Up battery box, a Powered Up motor, and a pair of Powered Up headlights--one of which goes up the tower, and the other goes into the keeper's house stove.
The Batmobile set had 2 light bricks in it, one red and one yellow. I liked the Exo Force light bricks, in one of the sets it had the light go through into the robot’s head.
It would be cool to see light bricks in more original sets rather than mainly licensed or creator sets, also more colours other than just red and yellow. Light up minifigures would be cool too. For example a Hatsune Miku set featuring a translucent minifig of Miku and a white light brick on the stage floor.
Yes, and 42176 Porsche GT4 does not use 4 light bricks; the Powered Up Hub includes LEDs and it uses flexible clear [fiber optic] cable to route the lighting.
Spitbrix: talks about how electronic toys were taking over the market. Also Spitbrix: shows the Transformers aisle where the only electronic toy visible is Shockwave. 😂
i still have that grey and red battery box in my Lego Technic suitcase, for Lego motors that can go both ways. didn't know they were also used for lights
The Lego DeLorean from 2022 was the first kit when I started to get back into Lego, and I was pleased to find a light brick used to illuminate the flux capacitor. Far from the most revolutionary use, but the really are popping up all over the place now.
I’ve got an idea for how they could work one into a Star Wars set. Build a table with a light brick in the middle, pointed upwards. Stick a micro figure molded in transparent blue over the light, and you’ve got one of those holographic communication devices from the prequels. It could be used on the bridge of a big ship or in some sort of command center.
I remember when the yellow/orange 2x3 light brick came out, it was a luxury and a must-have. I was unfortunate and never had a set with a light brick. :(
2:15 he had to include my other favorite passion of toy transformers and no other then three of my holy grails gen 1 optimus prime and gen 1 shockwave and gen 1 megatron
I own a City police station that uses a light brick to use as a spotlight and man did that make for some fun times when me and my sister would stay up late to just play with it and get to use the spotlight in the dark, it was very common in sets but still very fun
I was hoping to see the 2x2 duplo light brick from the frozen elsa castle set... that gets pretty close to the rgb stuff you mentioned at the end of the video..
OMG NOSTALGIA at seeing those first two Light & Sound sets!!! 😭 Edit: OMG YESSSS the Space sets, too!!! 😭😭 That's it.... my life goal is now to invent a time machine to go back to this era!!!
The lit flux capacitor in the very impressive DeLorean time machine is a nice gimmick but i'm seriously afraid of the day the battery will dies. Because the light brick is well hidden in the middle of the build ^^' I also have amongst other things the very early police van with sound in my childhood Lego collection, stored somewhere for more than 30 years, ... with sadly probably the batterie still inside...
I really do admire your effort for this video. Nevertheless I like to pimp my Lego sets with lighting by Briksmax and Lightailing. And for a few years now the company behind those two, sadly called "FunWhole", has its own sets with integrated lighting... absolutly mind boggling. So now Lego light bricks feel a little outdated.
Lego could do so much more ... Just look at some Funwhole Sets and what they are doing with light! It's a shame that Lego still uses this bulky lightbrick.
So, the thumbnail is a concept image. Kind of deceptive, but the overall content and history of those were worth watching. So, I'm kinda biased to say thanks for the content, maybe the Algorithm will recommend your channel again to me. 🙂
Am I the only one who is not a fan of the light brick? It's just too large and cumbersome making it hard to integrate. Seems outdated. Also the intensity of the light is too low and the yellow color doesn't work well in cases where it's used against a cool hue trans brick.
I have the very first light set, you don't have to fold the cables under the terminals, you can just plug them in as they have a slot cut in the middle
