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 fit easily into a port connector, don’t force it.

OK, Let’s Begin! 1.) First remove the bottle from the stand and disconnect the bottle top as well as top window sections to allow us to remove the ship.
Page 6
2.) Remove the three masts from the ship, then disconnect the following sections around the front:...

3.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and thread the connector end of the cable through the gap of the brown clip on the back of the ship. Thread it all the way through until the Bit Light is up against the edge of the gap. Ensure the LED is facing up, then lay the cable down the side of the ship as shown below.

4.) Take another White 30cm Bit Light and slightly bend the wire down about 1cm from the top of the Bit Light as shown below. Hook the bit light over the following stud, then secure it in place by reconnecting the brown grill tile over the top.

Lay the cable down in between studs, then reconnect the side brown wall tile. Repeat this process to install another White 30cm Bit Light to the left, securing it in place by reconnecting the brown tile over the top.

5.) Before reconnecting the brown wall tile, slide in the 1×6 plate as shown below. You may need to slightly lift up the two bit lights to reconnect the plate back in place. Reconnect the brown wall tile by sliding it in and connecting it underneath, then reconnect the last remaining section to the back of the ship.

Reconnect the three masts then group the three cables together and twist/wind them around each other a few times at the top to lock them in place. 6.) Take the AA Battery Pack and insert 3x AA Batteries to it. Connect the battery pack cable to the first port on the 6-Port Expansion Board.

Note: If you experience any issues with the lights not working and suspect an issue with a component, please try a different port on the expansion board to verify where the fault lies (with the light or expansion board). To correct any issues with expansion board ports, please view the section addressing expansion board issues on our online troubleshooting guide.

7.) Take two trans light blue round plates from inside the bottle then take out a Blue 30cm Bit Light and place it directly over one of studs. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the other trans light blue round plate over the top as shown below: Repeat this step to install another 5x Blue 30cm Bit Lights using more of the...

Mount the LEGO plates with Bit Light to the base of the bottle as shown below, then thread the connector end of the cable through the lower gap of the bottle. Pull the cable all the way out from behind. We will now install the remaining five Blue Bit Lights around the base of the bottle.

9.) Turn the bottle around to the back, then ensure all cables inside the bottle are laid away from the brown plates except for the two cables shown below. Lay these two cables in between the brown plates.
Page 19
Twist/wind the six cables around each other all the way to the ends so they come together to form one larger cable, then starting with the shorter two cables, connect all six cables to the 8-Port Expansion Board.
Page 20
Group all the cables closest the expansion board and twist/wind them around the larger cable so they group together. 10.) Pour back in, all of the trans light blue round plates into the bottle. Spread the pieces out evenly to try and cover the cables inside, then turn the bottle back around to the front.
Page 21
Take the ship and thread the group of three cables through the gap on the left of the blue bit light cables. Pull the cables all the way out from behind to then allow you to reconnect the ship back inside the bottle.

11.) Reconnect all the trans clear sections which make up main section of the bottle.
Page 23
12.) Take a White 30cm Bit Light and with the cable facing down, place it over the centre of the studs on top of the main bottle section. Secure the Bit Light in place by reconnecting the bottle top section.
Page 24
Bring the other end of the cable across to the right, then twist/wind it around the group of white 30cm bit lights (on the right side). Connect the bit light to the next port on the 6-Port Expansion Board.
Page 25
Twist/wind any remaining excess cables around the larger group of cables as shown below: 13.) Take a Multi Effects Board and connect a 5cm Connecting Cable into one of the OUT ports (side with two ports). Connect the other end of the 5cm Connecting Cable to a spare port on the 8-Port Expansion Board.
Page 26
Take another 5cm Connecting Cable and connect it to the IN port on the Multi Effects Board (side with one port). Connect the other end of the 5cm Connecting Cable to a spare port on the 6-Port Expansion Board, then connect the AA Battery Pack to the remaining Port.

14.) We can now set the effect we want. For a slow effect to represent ‘waves of the sea’, we chose to the ‘Pulse’ effect. Flick the switch to the far right for ‘Pulse’, then turn the speed wheel all the way to the left for the slowest speed. Alternatively, you can set whichever effect and speed you desire by simply changing the channel switch and adjusting the speed wheel.
