Also looking for cool new ways to bring your LEGO models to the next level when it is dark? Your LEGO vehicle, GBC or any other static model look great during the day, but what about in the evening when it is dark? Would it not be nice if you can enjoy your collection then as well. So how to add a complete, detailed and flexible lighting system to your models in an easy and efficient way?!
Look no further! We have got you covered. With our Glow Wire you can now highlight the outlines of your amazing builds.

 

 

Plug & Play

 

We have developed a unique Glow Wire which is 100% compatible with all LEGO Power Functions & Powered Up systems. A flexible 1 meter long (39.4 Inch) Glow Wire can bend in any direction and it will light up your creations brighter as ever before. It can bend, turn, fold and squeeze into every position so you can highlight all shapes and outlines of your models. The Glow Wire fits perfectly through a LEGO Technic hole which makes it really easy to attach it to your models.

Our in house developed controller takes care of the power consumption to make the Glow Wire perform as efficient and optimal as possible. You can control the brightness and this extends the lifetime of your batteries drastically. All in all, the Glow Wire makes your creations a true pleasure to the eye and it’s great to see your LEGO creations completely come to life in the dark.

The Glow Wire is 100% compatible with the original LEGO Power Functions & Powered Up system which makes it really Plug & Play – no electronics knowledge is needed! Installation is as easy as connecting the LEGO power connector to the LEGO battery box or hub. Want to create custom animations with your Glow Wire like blinking and fading? See also the software tab above for more info.

 

For the Powered Up system: To test if the Glow Wire for LEGO is working properly you can test it with our sample programs. You can find these and more information in the software tab above. Simply connect the Glow Wire for LEGO to a LEGO PU Hub – port A. When pressing the green play button, the Glow Wire for LEGO should turn on. Click to enlarge.

 

Light up your LEGO

For the GBCers among us: Our GBC Glow Balls work great in the dark but how to see the rest of your epic GBC module properly in the dark? Of course our UV LED Strip for LEGO will charge the GBC Balls very efficiently while also lighting up some spots of the GBC Module. With the Glow Wire you have more control over what you want to highlight and what not.

  1. Michael Gugle

    wow this looks pretty in the dark! got 2 of them controlling with the powered up system. I can make my own light pattterns. Used it in my lego ferris wheel and a GBC. Recommend!

  2. David Izen

    This is a very flexible light strip which fits very good in my lego builds. can wire it trough the lego holes and gaps and makes my builds pop. Great in dark but during the day it also has a nice effect. For some models the light line is too long. In that case I roll them up and hide it inside. Can recommend this one!
