BRIKSMAX Led Lighting Kit for Friends Central Perk - Compatible with Lego 21319 Building Blocks Model- Not Include The Lego Set

The media could not be loaded. This was my first Briksmax lighting kit and it likely won't be my last. I ordered the Friends Central Perk LEGO set as my wife and I are both fans of Friends and thought it would make an interesting display piece. While shopping to buy the set, I came across the lighting kits and I decided I wanted to give it a shot. My expectations were low, especially with how some of the reviews are less than glowing, but it seemed too cool of an idea to not at least give it a shot, and both my wife and I are blown away by how much better the set looks lit up.For the record, I did install the kit as I built the model. As such, the instructions were out-of-order, since they are designed to walk you through installing them into an already-built model. But the parts the bags are in are clearly marked on the bags and in the instructions, so it was relatively easy to discern which lights and wires went where. That said, these are very small lights with very thin wires, so they can be a little challenging to install properly, but the end results were so much better than what I had hoped.The only area I strayed from the instructions were where I ran the wires through the walls. The instructions have you pop some bricks and then lay the wire over the top of a brick and then snap a brick back down on top of the wire. This creates little gaps where the brick above the wire doe not snap all the way down on the studs of the brick below the wire. I was not thrilled with this, as I was concerned it would affect the stability of the model. After playing around a bit, I found that I could run the wires in the gaps between two side-by-side brick, which then allows each wall brick to snap all the way down onto the studs of the brick below it since the wires are no longer running where the studs are.After seeing how beautiful the Central Perk set looks with the lights, I'll be looking to eventually pick up more light kits for the Friends Apartments and the Seinfeld sets as I have both of those sets waiting their turn to be built. This Briksmax lighting kit turned out to be an absolutely fantastic addition to the LEGO Central Perk set, and really helps to elevate it from a really nice model and into a real eye-catching display piece.

I got the lego set for my niece for Christmas and she LOVED putting the lights in. She's 13 and installed them herself!

I was reluctant to purchase this light kit after reading the reviews of several similar light kits sold, but the reviews for this particular light kit were rated higher than the others. One drawback is that the connections are quite small, but with careful assembly the final results were amazing. It does add to the beauty of Central Perk.

This is a must for Central Perk. The wires are so easy to hide and the project just wraps up into a neat compact little model that is so inviting to look at. We have it on a lazy susan on our kitchen table so we can look at it from different angles while we are eating. Yes the wires are delicate, they are made to go in a tiny model. They are not so delicate that they can't be installed (and even have fun). The product is brilliant, executes perfectly and is worth every penny. I'm a 60 year old woman who is loving legos and never touched a wire in my life and I did it :).

In all fairness, I got the kit in August, it is now February and I'm just now getting around to using it.First of all, I didn't get an instruction book with this kit. It did have a QR code I could scan to get the manual in a PDF. I did that, but it brought me to the page where ALL of their lighting kits are, so I still had to hunt for it. I printed it out. It's the manual for LIGHTAILING, not BRIKSMAX. So that was useless. So I pulled up the YouTube video and followed the steps that way. Much harder, as they move so fast and there's not talking. But it's doable.I got everything hooked up and it doesn't work. (I couldn't test it before because with my BRIKSMAX kit, you have to wire everything, then hook each wire into the little circuit board thingies, then connect all of them, THEN hook up the batteries.)I made sure everything is connected securely and I tried different batteries. Nothing.For the record, the LIGHTAILING kit (I used that for another set) is much more user friendly.

Love the way this lights up Central Perk! The Lego set was first assembled, then the light kit instructions explain how to take it apart to add in the lights. The light strings / wires do not fit perfectly in between the lego bricks, so after inserting the wire kit the bricks come apart easily. Ideally, the lego bricks would be altered to hold the wires. Even with these limitations, I highly recommend the light kit... it just really brings the set to life! So definitely worth it.

This is such an awesome little product! It was pretty easy to install, it only took me around 45 minutes. There were a few steps I got stumped on but I was able to figure it out pretty quickly. It definitely livens up the Central a perk and makes it more enjoyable of a build! I’ve always wanted to get a light kit but never knew where to start and this was definitely the best one to start on. Definitely recommend for anyone interested in purchasing!!

Over all good product. Instructions can be vague and one of the expansion boards did not work. Had to order another board.
