Page 4 overheating of the expansion board when connected. Connecting cable connectors to Strip Lights Take extra care when inserting connectors to ports on the Strip Lights. Connectors can be inserted only one way. With the Strip Light facing up, ensure the side of the connector with the wires exposed is facing down. If a plug won’t t easily into a port connector, don’t force it.
Page 5 2.) Replace the original lamp post with the Light My Bricks lamp postensuring that the cable is laid in the middle the 2 studs.
Page 6 3.) Gently bend the base plate down and lift the building of the groundoor up and thread the cable for the lamp post underneath the brick wall. Ensure that the cable is laid in between the brick studs. 4.) Pull the cable up from underneath the wall and then connect this tothe rst available port of the 8-port expansion board.
Page 7 6.) Slightly lift up the grey 2x10 Lego piece, and then remove thebarber pole section from underneath.
Page 8 7.) Disassemble the round Lego pieces which make up the barber poleand then replace them with the Transparent Blue and Red Lego pieces which came with this kit. 8.) Take one of the ashing bit lights and then starting from the bottomsections up, lay it down (LED component facing up) and then connect the rst transparent red light piece on top.
Page 9 9.) Continue this process with 2 more ashing bit lights for anotherblue and red light, ensuring you lay the cable the exact way as shown in the photo examples. There will be a slight gap between each brick, this is because of the cables and this is OK as this whole section will connect securely under the grey Lego 2x10 brick.
Page 10 11.) Reconnect the Lego pieces we removed on top of this section andthen plug the 3 cables of the ashing lights into the spare ports on 8port expansion board. Secure the expansion board to the top of the back wall using one of the provided double sided adhesive squares. Remember: You can test out the lighting we have connected so far by simply plugging in the battery pack cable into a spare port of the expansion board and then turning it on.
Page 11 13.) We will now move onto installing the “down lights” for the front ofthe pool hall. Start by removing the following lego pieces. 14.) Take a standard bit light (non ashing) and lay it down at thebottom of one of the lighting sections in the following position pictured below. Then connect this back into its original position ensuring that the LED light component is clearly visible from underneath.
Page 12 Ensure that the LED component is facing the correct way before connecting Repeat this process for the 2nd lighting section using another standard bit light then reconnect the Lego pieces we removed in step 15 to their original positions. 15.) Connect the other end of the cables from the 2 LED lights we justinstalled into the spare ports of the 8-port expansion board.
Page 13 16.) Take a 15cm cable and connect it into a spare port of theexpansion board. We will use this to connect to the strip lights. 17.) Take the entire section of the second oor and ip it over so we caninstall lights to the ceiling.
Page 14 Take 3 LED strip lights and connect them together using 2x 5cm connecting cables. Stick/connect the lights in the following positions below. We will identify them as striplight#1, striplight#2, and striplight#3. 18.) Take a 15cm cable that we connected earlier to the expansionboard and connect the other end of this to the left port of striplight#1.
Page 15 19.) Take another 15cm cable and connect this to striplight#3 andthread the other end of this cable up through the spacing which leads to the second oor. 20.) Reconnect the entire second oor on top of the rst oor and thenpull the 30cm cable up from the rst oor.
Page 16 21.) We will now light up the lamps above the “Al’s” barber sign. Start by removing the following pieces to then allow us to remove the 2 individual lamp sections.

Page 23 Take another 2 ashing bit lights and repeat the same step for the 2x letter “O”’s ensuring the LED component part is laid in between the 4x Lego studs and visible in the center. For the letter “L” section, lay the 4th ashing bit light in the top section of the black part closest to the top.
Page 24 Ensure all cables for the ashing LEDs are facing up toward the handle 31.) Flip the “Pool” sign over as we will now have to lay another 4 ashing bit lights on this side. Take another 4 ashing bit lights and connect them to the sign by laying them in the same positions as we did for the other side of the sign.
Page 25 32.) We now have a lot of messy cables. Let’s neaten this all up bygrouping them all together which will then allow us to neatly thread this through the window of the Ace Brickman Detective’s O Group the cables and thread them all the way through the window 33.) Connect back the “Pool”...

Connect the other end of the 15cm cable from the 6-portexpansion board to a 12-port expansion board. 37.) We need to hide all the cables from the pool sign. Do this bypulling the lot of cables underneath the middle window and then up in between this window and the right window, then up above the expansion board.
Page 28 38.) Take another 15cm cable and then connect it to a spare port of the12-port expansion board. 39.) Take 2x LED strip lights and then stick/connect them on theceiling of level 2 (underneath the top level) in the following position. We will refer to them as striplight#4 and striplight#5.
Page 29 40.) Connect the 2 strip lights we just installed to the rest of thelighting circuit by connecting the other end of the 15cm cable from the 12-port expansion board to striplight#4 41.) Take another 15cm cable and connect this to the other end ofstriplight#5.
Page 30 42.) We will now connect the lamp for the top oor window. Removethe following pieces so that we can remove the lamp section.
Page 31 43.) Disassemble the lamp section and then using bit light, thread theconnecting end through the small hole on the top of the grey piece. Then thread the cable from the connector side up through the smaller hole of the transparent yellow Lego piece. Thread this all the way until the bit light part is up against the Lego piece.
Page 32 44.) Reconnect the lamp section back to its original position and thenthread the cable from the lamp down the staircase section as we will need to connect this to the 6-port expansion board on level 2. 45.) Lift and ip over the entire 3rd level on it’s side so that we can pullthe cable from the lamp down from the spacing and then connect this to a spare port on the 6-port expansion board.
