Take your LEGO® models to the next level by adding lights to your builds! Whether you want to illuminate official LEGO® sets, develop your own realistically lit LEGO® models, or design fantastical, glowing worlds, this book will show you how to make your creations stand out—even in the dark. Clear instructions, inspiring examples, and vivid images illustrate how to achieve the best lighting for interior scenes, buildings, minifigs, vehicles, shadow sculptures, glowing artwork, and animated lighting effects.

Each chapter features a beautifully photographed gallery of inspiring examples, and an exclusive project with step-by-step building instructions so you can exercise different lighting techniques yourself. Beyond just installing lights functionally, you’ll learn to creatively sculpt with lights and bricks.
