Hey brick fans, welcome back to my small blog about Lego style bricks and minifigures! As you might know, I'm an avid collector of modular buildings such as the Green Grocer and Corner Cafe. Some of my modular buildings such as the Detective's Office don't get a lot of screen time on my blogs, so I wanted to give it a little more exposure. I found the picture above on the internet and so I want to light mine up in the same fashion.

I came across this website called Lightailing.com and found that they have a huge selection of lighting kits for all different Lego sets. I actually found that they carry two different lighting kits for the Detective's Office. They have their own branded one and another by Briksmax. One of my requirements is that the lights can be powered by either batteries or via USB. The Briksmax lighting kit satisfied my requirements in that regard.
It took just under 2 weeks for my lighting kit order to arrive from Lightailing. So in this post, I'll be unboxing and reviewing the contents of what you get in a Briksmax lighting kit. I couldn't find many reviews, so I decided to make my own.
In my next post, I'll document and followup on whether the light kit is easy to install into my Detective's Office modular building.
So let's get this kit unboxed and check out what's inside ...
The lighting kit comes packaged nicely in this box. Very professional looking with the Briksmax logo and a picture of what the LED lighting kit is for, in this case it is set BX036 for the Detective's Office Lego 10246.
Here's the back of the box with their handy Service information and all of their social media accounts.

Multilingual tips on how to use the light strips.
36 Page Instruction Manual
Here's a sample page from the Instruction Manual. On initial glance, the instruction manual looks to have lots of pictures showing you how to take apart the Detective's Office in order to integrate the LED lighting into it.
Parts to Replace Pool Sign and Barber's Pole (uses genuine Lego parts, even!)
A02 15cm White Dot Lights (presuming these lights are for the Pool sign)
A03 30cm Warm White Dot Lights (maybe used for the lights on the building?)
A04 15cm Warm White Dot Lights
B01 White Strip Lights (interior room lighting?)
C02 Warm White Street Light (replacement light post)
D01 6 Port Expansion boards.
D02 8 Port Expansion Boards
D03 12 Port Expansion Boards
D04 5cm Connecting Cables
D05 15cm Connecting Cables
D09 Adhesive strips and USB plug. Hopefully the USB plug is long enough for me to plug into my existing USB hub.
Wow, I wasn't expecting there to be so many parts to the lighting kit. Stay tuned for my next post where I will try to integrate the Briksmax kit into my Detective's Office.
If you are in the market for a LED lighting kit, please be sure to check out their huge inventory of light kits and use my ITSNOTLEGO discount code at checkout time. Be sure to check back on my next blog post to hopefully see my Detective's Office lit up! Bye for now!
