Hey brick fans! I just bought an LED lighting kit for my Palace Cinema
modular building. I was going to buy a light kit from Lightailing or
Briksmax, but they've discontinued the sets for the Palace Cinema.
In shopping for the light kit, I wanted to make sure that there was just one
USB connection port instead of some kits that feature a multiple light strands
on their own separate USB power source. I didn't one to have to buy a
USB hub just to connect all the strands together.
Further, because I wanted to light up my Palace Cinema's iconic tall signboard
with blinking LED lights around the Palace logo.
So the light kit I bought off Aliexpress is called Easylite, but a little more
research reveals that the kits also come by the name of Kyglaring. This
light kit seems to check off all of my wants, so let's hope it mets all of my
expectations.
The lighting kit set came suer fast! I ordered it off Aliexpress on
August 24th and it arrived this morning Aug 31, like literally one week from
China to Canada.
Here's the link to the Aliexpress listing: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DkU5i87. The store name is Easylite Official store but I'm not sure if
Easylite is actually a brand or not.
Pictured on the front of the box are the words: Light Up New World, Lighting
Kit, Bring Shine and Sound to your Model World.
On the back of the box it states the Company Name is Shenzhen Start Line
Technology Co. ltd with a contact number but no website or other indication
that the product is Easylite or Kyglaring.
Only upon opening the box, you will find a Kyglaring business card and a
package containing all the light kit elements.
Here's what I got: Nine cellophane bags, six are numbered and three are
not. The three that are not numbered consist of the two spotlight light
strands and a bag for the usb plug and led wire hub.
I'm surmising that the other light strands will provide lighting the Palace
Cinema limousine, the exterior of both floors of the Palace Cinema building
and lighting for the interior as well.
Additionaly, I got a USB powered battery pack (three AA batteries not
included) and a prebuilt brick part for the signage that has two led wire
feeds.
Here's the business card with the company logo.
There is no instruction booklet that comes with the light kit, you have to
download the PDF copy from their website using the QR code.

They have a good selection of lighting kits on
their website so do check them out if you are looking for those hard to find light
kits.
At the moment I've got quite a backlog of sets to build, so I probably won't
get around to lighting up the Palace Cinema as soon as I'd like, but I will
do a blog post about testing the light kit to make sure that all the
components work. If they don't we will find out together what the
after sales service is like. Look for that post in about a week
or two. If you are interested in that, please do come back and
visit my blog.
Thanks and bye for now!
