Light Kit for Lego Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit, Lighting Set for Lego 42179 Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit Set - Not Include Models, Just Light Kit

This is a very good light kit but I did get quite stuck with it but I got there in the end. The bricks fitted very well and when you turn it on it looks so good.

First time purchase of a lighting enhancement for a Lego model, bought as part of a Christmas gift with the Lego set. Enhances the Lego model nicely and makes it prettier. Instruction video worked reasonably well showing where to wrap the wires. Felt they were a tad on the short side whilst installing them, but it all worked out OK. It would have been nicer if the incoming USB cable was longer though... 3 to 4 times the length ideally. This particular model is designed for hanging up, and there's not really anywhere around most hooks with a USB socket or powerbank!

Bought for Granddaughter who loved it ! I also bought the light to go with it

Bought for a present

Looks slightly different than the picture but still good

I did my research and deliberately chose the more expensive lighting set. Given that the LEGO set itself was just over £100, this felt like a significant additional purchase to properly complement it. At this price point, I expected better quality and better compatibility than the cheaper alternatives. Based on the product photos, I also assumed the lights would be more subtle — evenly lit, nicely blended — rather than the harsh, chunky bulbs you tend to get with budget kits. Spoiler alert: I was wrong. They’re just as bright and clunky, with individual bulbs that absolutely do not blend in. To be fair, the red flashing light for the satellite is genuinely lovely — super cute and visually spot on. The product was also beautifully packaged, clearly presented, and came with straightforward instructions. My 10-year-old followed them on his iPad, installed everything, and got it up and running without any issues. And that’s where the good experience ends. At nearly £80, this works out at well over £1 per light — yet it offers absolutely nothing more than kits available for a fraction of the price. The installation is messy, with wires running over the frame to the back, which doesn’t look great on something that’s meant to be displayed. Worst of all, it’s not wireless or battery powered. You have to plug it in, meaning you end up with a wire dangling down the wall from your framed picture. And even that might be manageable… if the cable was remotely long enough. It is not! The supplied wire is about a metre long, if that. It’s thin and black — great if you have a black wall, otherwise very visible (though I suppose at least it’s discreetly flimsy). Durability-wise, you’ll need to treat it like a spider’s thread and pray you don’t disconnect it. So, if you’d like your framed LEGO masterpiece to hang roughly a metre above your skirting board or socket — this kit is perfect for you! For the price, I expected much better. At the very least, extra cable should be included so the product is actually usable. We ended up having to connect it to another device just to reach a plug. Alternatively, you could use a power bank… which really shouldn’t be necessary at this price point. Overall, the kit appears to be good quality. We’re only on day one, so fingers crossed it lasts — though given everything else, I’m not holding my breath.

The components and cables are tiny and fiddly to handle, but all the cables tuck in nicely and are out of view once completed. Once lit, the result is stunning, and really brings the piece to life. The watcher eye and tall neck lights flash as well, giving it a really nice finish. Would highly recommend but make sure you give yourself plenty of time and have patience.
