How to use the Gundam light control module

The Gundam light control module is installed into compatible kits, powered by batteries, and controlled via a plug-and-play system to illuminate specific parts like the eyes, chest, or GN Drive.

Installation Steps

  1. Prepare the Kit and Module Ensure your Gundam model (e.g., PG 1/60 Gundam Exia) is either partially disassembled or has the designated cavity for the LED unit. Follow the kit's manual for disassembly if already assembled .
  2. Insert Batteries Most official Bandai LED units require 2 LR41 watch batteries or 4 AA batteries for larger units. Always use alkaline batteries, avoid mixing old and new batteries, and insert them with correct polarity .
  3. Connect the LED Unit
    • Plug the LED module into the designated connector inside the model.
    • Route the wires carefully through the internal structure, leaving slack at joints to prevent tension during posing .
    • Avoid crossing wires over pivot points or pinching them under armor pieces.
  4. Secure the LEDs
    • Official units are usually plug-and-play, requiring no modification.
    • Third-party or custom SMD LEDs may need thin wires routed through narrow moldings, but no major cutting is necessary .
    • Adhesive strips or clips can hold wires in place, ensuring a clean installation.
  5. Test the Lights
    • Turn on the module to check that all LEDs illuminate correctly.
    • If an LED does not light up, reseat the connector or check the battery orientation .

Operation and Safety

  • Power Control: Switch the module on/off as needed. Remove batteries when not in use to prevent leakage .
  • LED Colors: Some units, like the GN Drive LED, change colors to simulate different states (green for ignition, blue-green for loading, red for critical state), .
  • Handling: Avoid staring directly at LEDs, and handle small parts carefully to prevent choking hazards .

Tips for Best Results

  • Start with official Bandai LED units if you are a beginner; they are easier to install and compatible with specific kits .
  • For advanced customization, third-party or custom chip LEDs allow lighting of additional parts like weapons or thrusters .
  • Leave extra wire slack at joints to maintain poseability without stressing connections .
  • Regularly check battery condition and replace as needed to maintain brightness. By following these steps, you can safely install and operate the Gundam light control module, enhancing your model's display with realistic lighting effects.
