- A list price excludes shipping; Lightailing charges standard shipping below $69.
- Different brands for the same set can differ in switch type and power. Compare those before price.
- Prices and stock move from week to week, so re-check both pages on the day you buy.

Worked example: a US buyer choosing a Hubble kit
The BriksMax kit is $27.16 cheaper than the BRKOX Touch kit on list price. It is under Lightailing's $69 free-shipping line, so a shipping charge is added at checkout, and the standard estimate is 3 to 5 days of processing plus about 15 to 35 business days in transit, so up to about 40 business days. BRKOX's standard estimate is 1 to 3 days plus 7 to 15, so up to about 18 business days. [1][3]
If the BriksMax shipping charge plus any wait you mind is worth less than about $27, Lightailing wins. If you need it in under a month, or want the remote version, BRKOX is the safer fit. A buyer in Canada, the UK or Australia should also add any import charges to the Lightailing side, because BRKOX says duties are included and Lightailing says the recipient pays them. [1][3]
Returns: neither is a free trial
BRKOX: free cancellation within 48 hours of ordering if not shipped; returns of defective items within 30 days of purchase; sale and custom items not returnable unless damaged or defective; issues not caused by a quality defect are excluded; approved refunds within 10 business days and no restocking fee. [2]
Lightailing: generally no change-of-mind or wrong-version returns, except where consumer law requires, and it notes the EU 14-day withdrawal period and UK distance-selling rights. Report wrong or missing items within 15 days of delivery, quality issues within 30 days of delivery, and transit damage preferably within 24 hours. [4]
Which store fits which reader
- Your set is only listed at Lightailing or BriksMax: start there and plan for the longer standard window or pay for express.
- You are in the US, UK, Canada or Australia and BRKOX has your kit in stock: compare BRKOX's total against Lightailing's price plus shipping and any import charges.
- You also want a wall frame: BRKOX listed 57 display-frame products on 30 October 2026, so lights and frame can share one checkout. [8]
- You are outside BRKOX's four countries: Lightailing is the option of the two.
- You need a hands-on brightness comparison: neither this guide nor the stores' pages provide one.
What this comparison is based on
Store policies, product pages and collection listings read on 29 and 30 October 2026. We have not installed a kit or hung a frame from either store.
Questions before you decide
Is the cheaper Hubble kit the better buy?
Not automatically. On 29 October 2026 the BriksMax kit was $31.84 versus $59.00 at BRKOX, but it was under Lightailing's $69 free-shipping line and its standard delivery window was longer.
Does either store include the LEGO set?
No. The BRKOX Hubble page says the LEGO model is not included, and Lightailing kits are sold as lighting kits for a set you already own.
Which store charges import duties?
BRKOX says duties and taxes are included for its four countries. Lightailing says the recipient pays any customs duties, taxes or import charges where applicable.
