Lighting a MOC or custom build: generic light packs and expansion parts

What is on sale for custom builds

Both BriksMax and the Lightailing store list a 'DIY Light Kit' range with the same parts at the same prices. [1][2][3] BRKOX listings we read were set-specific kits; we did not find generic parts there. Prices below are BriksMax's on 30 October 2026.

The DIY packs are sold by variant code rather than by described contents. The Mini Pack ran from $24.99 to $37.99 across 31 variants, the Builder Pack $29.99 to $45.99 across 37, the Creator Pack $46.99 to $55.99, the Mega Pack $59.99 to $99.99 and the Special Features Pack $45.99 to $109.99. [4][5][6][7][8] The listing text did not list what each variant contains, so check the variant images or ask support before ordering.

Sizing a custom kit: lights, ports, runs

Count light points first. Walk the model and mark every window, lamp, sign and accent you want lit. Decide dot or strip for each: BriksMax describes dot lights for windows, interiors and street lamps, and strip lights for longer walls and rooms. [9][10]

Then ports. Each light needs a port; an 8-port board takes up to 8 components and a 4-port board up to 4. [12][13] Link boards with connecting cables when one is not enough, and ask the store whether the incoming power uses one of a board's ports, since the listings do not say.

Then runs. Measure from each light point to where its board will sit. Dot lights come with 15cm or 30cm leads. [1][9] Anything further needs a connecting cable, and the only lengths we saw published were 15, 20, 30 and 50cm, inside the lightsaber bundle. [16]

Last, power. The standalone USB Power Cable is V1 and says it is not compatible with V2 parts, while the boards and lights are V2. [12][14] We did not find a standalone V2 USB cable among the parts listed on 30 October 2026, so confirm a V2 power lead with support, or buy a DIY pack that includes one, before you order.

Worked example: a two-floor custom shop

Suppose a two-floor MOC needs 6 window lights, 2 room strips and 1 street lamp: 9 light points. Using BriksMax's 30 October 2026 prices: three 3-packs of 30cm warm white dot lights for $32.97 cover the 6 windows, the lamp and 2 spares; one 1x6 warm white strip 3-pack for $8.44 covers the rooms with one spare; and one 8-port board for $14.99 takes 8 of the 9 lights. [1][10][13]

That leaves one light without a port, so either add a 4-port board for $10.99 on the second floor or drop a light. With the second board, the parts come to $67.39 before shipping, plus a V2 power lead and any connecting cables you still need to source. [12]

Compare that with the DIY Builder Pack range at $29.99 to $45.99 and the Creator Pack at $46.99 to $55.99. A pack may be cheaper if its variant happens to match your light count and includes power. [5][6] The individual parts route costs more but you choose every light.

Planning checklist before ordering

A custom kit has no installation guide written for your model, so the planning replaces it. Lightailing's FAQ notes that installation without drilling or cutting depends on routing wires correctly, [17] and on a MOC you are designing that route yourself.

• Mark every light point on a photo of the build.
• Choose dot, strip or lamp for each point.
• Pick hidden board positions and count ports, plus one for each board-to-board link.
• Measure each run against 15cm and 30cm leads.
• Confirm every part is V2, including the power lead.
• Decide USB or a battery box and where it exits.
• Order one or two spare lights; packs come in threes.
• Bench-test everything before building it in.
