Pull the cable all the way through Repeat this process for the other lamp post. 19.) Connect the lamp back to the lamp post. The cable should be ableto t comfortable in between the lamp and lamp post like below. 20.) Remove the following pieces of the balcony so that we can lay thecable from the lamp post LED behind the table and chairs.
Page 15
21.) Wind the cable for the bit light around the lamp post 2–3 times and then lay the cable down so that we can connect back the pieces we removed in the above step to secure this cable down. 22.) With the cable for the rst lamp post on the balcony secure, we cannow connect this into a spare port of the expansion board below.
Page 16
24.) Use the grey Lego tiles on the top of the ground oor to secure thecable from the lamp post LED and to hide any excess cable. 25.) Connect the cable of the bit light into the nal spare port on the 8port expansion board 26.) Take the 2nd oor and ip it over and then take a 30cm connecting cable and connect it to the left port of another strip light...

Secure the connecting cable in place by laying this underneath the grey lego plate as per below. 27.) Take the spare 15cm cable from striplight#1 and connect this intothe right port of striplight#2.
Page 18
28.) Reconnect the entire 2nd oor back on top of the ground oorensuring the 30 cm cable is sticking out the back. 29.) We will need to thread the cable through the door way. Firstremove the Lego pieces which make up the balcony rail.
Page 19
Looking at level 2 from above, remove the following Lego pieces to then allow us to remove the door. 30.) Thread the 30cm cable through the door way and then reconnectthe Lego door, and other pieces we removed earlier. Ensure that the cable is laid in the bottom left corner in between studs.
Page 20
31.) Lay the 30cm cable across the left side of the top of the door wayand hide it underneath the 2x4 at Lego tile. 32.) In order to install the light for the door lamp on level 2, we willhave to remove the following Lego pieces surrounding the door.
Page 21
33.) Remove the lamp (yellow transparent piece and black pieceunderneath) and then remove the black piece on top of it so that we can thread a bit light through it. 34.) Take a bit light and thread the connector end through the smallerhole of the yellow Lego piece just like we did for the lamp posts in step 19.
Page 22
Do not force the yellow piece to connect to the black piece as this may pull the bit light away from the cable and damage the bit light. Instead, allow for enough room for the black piece to come through the bottom as pictured below.
Page 23
35.) Reconnect this lamp back to its original position ensuring that thecable from the bit light is laid behind the wall. 36.) Reconnect the Lego door and pieces we removed earlier and thenpull the bit light cable up and then across the doorway. Lay the cable underneath the 2x4 grey Lego tile in between studs as per below.
Page 24
Take the 30cm cable we threaded up from below and connect this into the left port of striplight#3. 38.) Secure the 30 cm connected to the right port by laying thisunderneath the grey Lego plate and in between studs.
Page 25
Reconnect the 3rd level back on top of the building ensuring that both the 30cm cable and the bit light cable is laying behind the building. 39.) Looking at the back of the building, remove the blue door withwindows from the following hinges.
Page 26
Door should easily disconnect in one piece 40.) Remove the following Lego pieces so that we can thread the 2 loose cables through this space. 41.) Thread the 2 cables through and reconnect the Lego pieces weremoved earlier back on top of the cable ensuring the cables are between the Lego studs.

42.) Remove the following Lego pieces of the roof. 43.) Take the nal strip light (striplight#4) and connect a 15cm cableto the right port then connect/stick the strip light to the following position on the centre roof piece.
Page 28
44.) Take the 30 cm cable we threaded up from the lower level andconnect this into the left port of striplight#4. 45.) We now need to remove Lego pieces in order to connect up thedoor lamp on the top oor. Start by removing the following pieces: 46.) Disconnect the door lamp (yellow transparent piece only) andremove the black piece on top so that we can thread through another bit light cable.
Page 29
Thread a bit light cable from the connector end through the smaller hole as we did for the previous door lamps / lamp posts. 47.) Reconnect the wired door lamp to its original position. Do notforce the yellow piece to connect to the black piece (lamp post) as this may pull the bit light away from the cable and damage it.
Page 30
Reconnect the door and surrounding Lego pieces we removed earlier. Ensure you thread through the cable from the door lamp so that it sits between the door frame and wall...
Page 31
We will connect the bit light cable to an expansion board later. Reconnect the Lego pieces for the roof and two chimneys which we removed earlier. 48.) We will now light up the shell sections at the front of the roof. Turnthe top level around and remove the white croissant pieces to allow us to then remove the 2 shell sections.
Page 32
50.) Thread a bit light cable from the connector end through the hole ofthe white Lego piece. Pull the cable all the way through until the bit light part is right up against the Lego piece. Ensure the bit light is facing the correct way up 51.) Assemble the shell section back piece by piece starting with theshell piece.
Page 33
53.) Take the bit light cables from the 2 shell lights and the lamp poston this level and group them together at the port ends. Twist them around each other so they all come together neatly. 54.) Connect these 3 bit lights into the rst few ports on the 6-port expansion board which came in this kit.
Page 34
55.) Take the bit light cable which we threaded up from the level belowand connect this into the next available port on the expansion board. 56.) Connect the 15cm cable from the right port of striplight#4 intoone of the spare ports of the expansion board.
Page 35
57.) Using one of the provided self adhesive squares, stick theexpansion board to the bottom of the inside of the level as per below. You can neaten/hide any access cables at the bottom of the oor and around some of the Lego objects so that they are not visible from the outside looking in.
