Testing the Kyglaring LED Light Kit for the Lego Palace Cinema 10232

 Hi brick fans, welcome back to bricksandfigs.blogspot.com.  Last month, I finally found a light kit to illuminate my Lepin Palace Cinema.  The brand is known as Kyglaring.  It's a brand I'm not accustomed to, as all of my other light kits are from Briksmax and Lightailing.

The kit arrived superfast, like within a week and I did an unboxing blog post which you can find here.  Now before I install it into my Palace Cinema modular building, I want to check the quality of the kit and test out each of it's components.

So let's open up some of the packages and make sure everything works.

First, you'll need to get some fresh triple A batteries and put them into the battery pack.  I've left off the battery pack cover so you can see how the batteries are arranged.  Next, plug the USB connector into the battery pack.  

Take one of the expansion boards that come with the set and connect the USB connector to one of the ports on the board.   This will be your base testing configuration.  From here you will plug each of the lighting kit's components into each port of the expansion board.

This kit for the Palace Cinema contains some light strips, probably for the interior.

Here are some led accent lights.

As I was testing the lights, I found a non working port on one of the expansion boards.

These colour changing led light strips will be placed on the first floor exterior I think.

The Palace Cinema sign light features blinking led lights.  There are some light kits that don't feature the blinking lights, but this was one of my must have features.

There are two colour changing spotlights that will replace the existing parts.  

Finally, there's the streetlamp that gets lit up.

My observation about the Kyglaring lighting components are as follows:  

- the wires feel flimsier than the ones you get from Briksmax

- the ports and port connectors are a tight fit and sometimes they are hard to pull out

- the brick parts they give you are just generic bricks, Briksmax gives you actual Lego replacement parts

- the lighting seems to be ok, especially the colour changing ones

Pertaining to price, the Kyglaring set is about 20-30% cheaper than Briksmax. 

Regarding the faulty port on one of the expansion boards, fortunately I didn't have to use that port so not an issue for me.

Hope this will help you to decide whether to buy LED lighting kits from Kyglaring.com.   Let me know what you think,  bye for now!
