HandyHand Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 (edited) Now officially introduced, the latest Ideas set: Motorized Lighthouse. https://ideas.lego.com/blogs/a4ae09b6-0d4c-4307-9da8-3ee9f3d368d6/post/fad6a848-a50d-49c7-9130-dbf03b4dd86d Towering in height at 50cm tall, the Motorized Lighthouse is a unique way to add a new display piece to your home as it comes complete with a motorized light. Full of details, the 2,065 piece set is designed authentically to mirror how a real lighthouse operates. It sits on its own island, with a staircase leading up to the lightkeeper’s cottage, plus two minifigures and their boat also add detail to the display. The lighthouse model features a revolving lens (created using a new element) powered by PowerUp components - battery box, motor and LED light with a cable.

Pseudoty Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Rotating light with a Fresnel lens element – A battery box (6380609), medium motor (6290183) and cable with lights (6238858) power the lighthouse’s rotating light and the cottage’s glowing fireplace That will be in high demand for MOCs It has stickers glad it is not $350 and $300 seems fair with the power functions and 2K elements or has Lego just worn me down with the new prices. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuzzy_bricks Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Love this. Price seems high, but this should look nice next to my old fishing store. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just thinking the same: lighthouse + old fishing store + great fishing boat will be an awesome display. just need to add another room to my house first...

Average Guy Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I hope the battery box spins with it or that's gonna be one twisted wire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedingman5 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 My hunch is that it is a 2-direction light that oscillates, rather than rotates, to prevent the wires from getting tangled... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricklectic Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 purposeless to rotate 360 wouldt that be casting the light on the land side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The description from Lego states "Revolving" so my thought is that it indeed rotates 360˚. I feel like there is enough room above the top floor and the black railing to house the motor directly, but I cannot tell how they have disguised/hidden the cable to the battery box. I am assuming that is within the rock structure below. I like that the new element is a Fresnel lens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brystheguy Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 No twisting wires to worry about. It's just a regular stationary bulb and the lens assembly rotates around it with the other three sides of the assembly solid to block the light. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pseudoty Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) The light bulb is fixed so the wire does not move, and they use a mirror sticker to reflect the light to the lens which rotates 360. I was thinking I would rather pay $240 and not have the power functions and have the option to add them if you want to, but now seeing the build that would not be possible without breaking down the set.

And then they froze time in 1989… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
