Teddoo Lego Component Lighting Kit 08L1X4-20 on Aliexpress

 

Hey brick fans!

This component lighting kit popped up in my Aliexpress feed the other day and I bought one to see if it would satisfy my requirement to light up some of my modular buildings.  I think it looks like a great deal!

I paid $18.68 CDN for the Teddoo lighting kit which consists of 20 LED light strips, 20 1x4 white bricks , 20 LED connecting wires and 3 USB plugs.   I checked how much each of the components would cost if one were to buy them individually on Aliexpress and this is what I came up with:

1 LED light strip costs about $1 each.

1 LED connecting wire costs about $1 each

1 USB plug costs about $2 to $3 each

The cost of all of the components in the kit would cost about $40 to $50 CDN in total, so it makes sense economically to buy them together in this kit.

The superfast shipping from Aliexpress only took 8 days from order date to delivery.   Let's unbox the kit and see what we got.  

There's a detailed multi-lingual instruction sheet that shows you how to connect the lighting components together, along with a list of the part specifications.  The name of the kit is 08L1X4-20, not the mostly user friendly name, from Teddoo, Light Up Your World.

There are four pouches in the box.

The pouches contains exactly what's described in the kit.  20 pieces of 1x4 bricks, 20 led light strips, 20 connecting wires and 3 USB plugs.

Each of the LED light strips comes with an adhesive backing which you can stick to one of the white 1x4 bricks.  The LED light strips come with 2 ports to which you can attach the wires.   You can attach one of the USB plugs to one of the LED light strips and then chain other light strips together with the wires.

Note: While you get three USB plugs in the kit, you have to provide your own power source.  You can use any USB compatible source, such as a battery pack, power bank or household USB outlet.  In the picture above I'm using a battery pack to verify that all the components work properly.

FYI, When choosing the light kit from Aliexpress, I had the option to choose between warm white LEDs and bright white LEDs for the same price.   Mine are warm white.

I didn't encounter any problems with the parts in the kit, but I guess you'd have to reach out to the seller on Aliexpress for support because the although it's branded as Teddoo, there is no official website to get parts replacements.  The seller's name on Aliexpress is Teddoo store but I'm not sure if it's official or not.

The LED light strips are easy to attach.  Here you can I see I've stuck two of them on the underside of my modular building roof.  I also chained these strips to another one on the first floor.

I've got a total of 4 LED light strips connected for my modular building, two inside and two outside.

And here is the final result of using the Teddoo light strips in my modular building.  The LEDs are very bright and using just one strip on each floor lights up the entire interior.  I was very happy with how the LED light strips worked and I've just order another kit from Aliexpress.  They are easy to install too.

To improve this kit, I would add a few more USB plugs, and have some longer connecting wires (maybe a combination of short and long wires).  Probably the price would have to be a bit higher but I'd be ok to pay another $5 for 3 extra USB plugs.

If you are a fan of lighting up your Lego modular buildings or other sets, you should consider getting this LED lighting kit from Teddoo.

Thanks for looking and hope this helps you decide on whether to choose this kit to light up your Lego sets or not.

Bye for now!
