Product Information:
Lego Millennium Falcon – Perhaps the most recognisable spaceship of all time, the Millennium Falcon is now available as a LEGO® Lighting Kit.
With a neatly concealed battery pack, the Millennium Falcon comes with lights for the cockpit, front & rear lights, as well as flashing lights for the top cannons.
This kit contains:
- 20x Bit Lights (White, Blue, Red)
- 2x Flashing Bit Lights
- 6x White Strip Lights
- 1x Multi Effects Board
- 6x Expansion Boards
- 12x Connecting Cables
- 1x AA Battery Pack
- 11 x Assorted LEGO® pieces for assembly
1) The Hyperdrive Generator
I like the use of flashing lights where appropriate – in this engine room scene there are two flashing green lights which add good ambience. But I want that engine to move a bit.
2) The cockpit
As standard the light kit looks pretty damn good. There’s a white light at the front and two blue lights under the seating area to illuminate the cockpit.
But a lot of people like to customise the cockpit as the LEGO design had a few flaws.
Looking at our model now the blue is a bit overpowering – so I took out the blue LEDs and moved the white down right below the cockpit seating module which gives a more subtle light.
The defining characteristic of the cockpit – and really any such set – is blinky lights. Lots of them. Thousands of buttons and switches and they all have lights on them.
To make something similar I took the two 2×1 slopes which are the control consoles in at the front and made a few teeny tiny holes in them. To fit a light I also removed the central pin underneath. (Sorry purists – I drilled holes in LEGO!). The effect is great and more in keeping with the movies.
And here’s how it looks when put together.
3) The rear engine lights
This has to be The Big One.
As standard, the UCS Falcon has the rear lit up with 6 x White Strip Lights. And it looks pretty damn good!
