Light My Bricks 2.0 is here, bringing the most advanced LEGO® lighting technology to your builds. We've listened to your feedback, tested rigorously, and delivered the ultimate lighting solution. Let's break down the key differences between Light My Brick 1.0 and the all-new 2.0, so you can see why it's time to level up!
Thinner, Stronger, and More Discreet Wires
In our 1.0 kits, wiring was functional but could be bulky and difficult to conceal. With LMB 2.0, we’ve completely redesigned our wiring system for optimal integration:
-
80% thinner – The slimmest, strongest LEGO® lighting wires available.
-
No soldering points – Increased durability and flexibility, reducing failure points.
-
Seamless fit – Engineered for precise installation with no gaps or misaligned bricks.
Upgraded, Easy-to-Use Plugs
One of the biggest improvements in Light My Bricks 2.0 lighting system is the redesigned plugs:
-
Larger and easier to grip – Simplifies handling, even in tight spaces.
-
Reversible connections – Plugs work in either orientation, eliminating alignment issues.
These enhancements make installation faster, more intuitive, and frustration-free—ideal for both new and experienced builders.
Sleek, Integrated Lighting Components
The 2.0 system introduces custom-designed housing that snaps directly onto LEGO® bricks, providing:
-
Concealed circuitry – A cleaner, more professional finish.
-
Enhanced durability – Stronger protection while seamlessly blending into builds.
Your LEGO® creations will look just as polished illuminated as they do unlit.
Light As You Build or Light After You Build
Previously, with 1.0, you had to finish your build before adding lights, often requiring you to take apart sections to install them. With 2.0, we’ve revolutionised the process:
-
Simultaneous building and lighting – Streamlined and more enjoyable
-
Step-by-step 3D instructions – Streamlining your installation with precision and clarity.
-
Flexible installation – Customise your build experience with "Light As You Build" or "Light After You Build" options (available on select kits). Every kit includes step-by-step "Light After You Build" instructions.
This saves time and makes the experience far more intuitive.
Unmatched Quality and Durability
At Light My Bricks, we engineer the most advanced LEGO® lighting solutions available. LMB 2.0 isn’t just an upgrade from 1.0—it outperforms other options on the market:
-
Premium materials – Built for durability and long-lasting performance.
-
Stronger, more flexible wiring – Eliminates common breakage issues.
-
Seamless integration – Maintains the integrity of your LEGO® builds.
While other lighting kits may compromise on quality, Light My Bricks™ 2.0 offers a premium, hassle-free experience you can trust.
What 1.0 components counterparts in 2.0 is called?
With the launch of LMB 2.0, we’ve renamed our components to reflect the major upgrades we’ve made. Moving away from generic naming, our new space-themed naming system highlights how our technology is truly out of this world.
Here’s how our components have evolved:
Key System Changes
-
Effect Boards – No more standalone flicker effect boards. Instead, with 2.0 you get individual effect lights (Astro Flicker, Pulse, Gun, etc.) or the FX Spectrum handle all effects.
-
Micro Bit Lights Upgrade in LMB 2.0 – Now use the same board as regular Astro Lights, eliminating the need for a separate micro board.
These updates make LMB 2.0 smarter, more streamlined, and easier to use while delivering the most advanced LEGO® lighting experience available.
