Hello,
For those of you that have the Electric Light Brick 4.5V 2x2
(http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=08010b), I have some questions.
I'm going to buy lights for a model I'm making, and I wanted to get some of

2. What kind of battery box does it need?
3. Is it bright?

Thanks,
Curt

Hi, I use the 4.5v lights for my town and town buildings. They work quite nicely, and you can string quite a few (4 or 5 at least) off a single battery box. You can see the lights at work in one of my buildings here: (URL) trick I have done is to (...) (21 years ago, 11-Apr-03, to lugnet.general)

(...) Yes there is a light bulb inside, a very small one. It uses the standard 4.5V LEGO wires and battery box (same as the motors of that period). I don't know how to quantify its brightness, but my memory says it was. I was given one of those when (...) (21 years ago, 12-May-03, to lugnet.general)
