When choosing your ideal ZENE Bricks lighting kit, you might notice several different options on the product page: Classic Version, Remote Control Version, and even Sound Version.
Many people often ask: “What exactly is the difference between these versions? Which one should I buy?” Don’t worry—this guide will help you fully understand the distinctions between them, so you can make an informed choice and get the best value for your money.
- Classic Version: High Cost-Performance Entry-Level Choice
Who is it suitable for: Those with a limited budget, or if your model is displayed in an easily accessible place (like a tabletop).Features:
Steady light mode: Once switched on, the lights usually stay on continuously. Some specific parts, like flames or small effects, might have simple flickering effects.
Control method: Controlled via a physical switch on the battery box, or by directly plugging/unplugging the USB cable.
Advantages:Most budget-friendly option.Simplest wiring setup, easy to install.Perfectly sufficient for 90% of display needs.
If your main goal is just to illuminate a LEGO bouquet or a small decorative piece at night, the Classic Version is more than enough. It’s straightforward, reliable, and won’t complicate your display with extra features you might not need.
- Remote Control Version: The Standard for Advanced Users
Who is it suitable for: Models displayed on high shelves (like the top of a bookshelf), setups with multiple lighting zones, or for users who enjoy actively controlling light effects.Features:
Remote control: Comes with an RF remote, allowing you to control the lights from your sofa without touching the model.
Multi-zone control: The biggest highlight. You can divide the model into different zones—for example, Zone A could be the interior of a castle, and Zone B could be the exterior street lamps. You can choose to light up only Zone A, or just Zone B,depending on your preference.
Effect adjustment: Supports brightness adjustment, breathing frequency, flicker speed, and more.
Advantages:Offers enormous convenience and playability.
Essential for large sets such as the Titanic or the Eiffel Tower. Manually reaching switches on such models can be cumbersome, and the remote control solves this problem completely.
For serious LEGO builders or those who display large-scale creations, the Remote Control Version is almost always the recommended choice. It adds versatility and allows you to create dynamic lighting scenes easily.
- Sound Version: Ultimate Immersive Experience
Who is it suitable for: Hardcore enthusiasts who want to fully recreate a movie or scene atmosphere with synchronized audio-visual effects.Features:
Built-in sound effects: Not just lights, but sound as well.
Specific sets: Usually designed for models with recognizable sound memories. For example, The LEGO Grand Piano (21323) can play music. Star Wars spacecraft may include laser cannon sounds. Harry Potter sets might feature magical sound effects.
Advantages: Offers a fully immersive display experience. Perfect for showing off to friends—demonstrations are always impressive and engaging.
If you are a collector who wants the complete sensory experience or if you have models with inherent sound properties, the Sound Version is definitely the way to go.
Summary: How to Decide
Small-scale models like flowers or street scenes: Classic Version is sufficient.
Large-scale models such as spaceships, tall buildings, or wall-mounted displays: Remote Control Version is highly recommended.
Special sets with built-in audio like Ecto-1 or LEGO piano: Sound Version is the obvious choice.
