The Best LEGO Light Kits - 2024 Guide

LEGO sets offer one of the best ways to jazz up home interiors, bringing a touch of pop-culture style from all the best franchises such as Harry Potter, Star Wars and Disney. Display collections can also enhance the seasons, turning any living room into a Christmas grotto or a bedroom into a Halloween haunted room.

Once a LEGO set is in place, it can be a good idea to consider extra enhancements to improve the display and add that extra eye-catching touch. LEGO lighting kits (sold by third-party suppliers such as Lightailing, Briksmax, and Light My Bricks) are ideal for brightening up your best models so they can be enjoyed in the evening and incorporated into your room's mood lighting. With a clever array of coloured bulbs, flashing effects and more, these lighting kits can transform your build beyond a LEGO set, turning it into a dynamic, exhibitive centrepiece.

We were lucky enough to be sent a free copy of this LEGO lighting set for our very own LEGO DeLorean, and you can see the final result pictured above. We particularly enjoyed the illumination on the iconic "˜OUTATIME' rear plate and appreciated that the overall installation remained subtle without trying to be overly flashy and distracting.
