For generations, the blocks have been adored by children and those who are young at heart. Light Stax illuminated building blocks add fun to classic interlocking bricks by putting LED lights inside them. Awarded the Top 10 best toys at a fair in New York 2014, you can now create some bright cityscapes and glowing creatures with these ingenious, illuminated set of interlocking construction blocks that light up as you connect them!
It all starts at the Smart base. Each set of Light Stax has a base plate that powers the 36 bricks with the included USB cable or with 3 AAA batteries, which means you can take the blocks out to play on a road trip.
Each set also contains 6 different colors of bricks which can construct creations like a glowing robot sentinel to stand guard or an illuminated night-light shaped like a heart. Light Stax will also connect to other standard construction block systems like certain Lego and Duplo bricks of the same size, so you can really make some grand and glowing structures.
If this is still insufficient, you can consider the set of 102 pieces for even cooler ways to configure them. The main con for me is the price. It’s almost $40 for 36 building blocks and $60 for 102 blocks.
Light Stax will inspire endless creativity in kids and grown-up geeks alike. It makes amazing sculptures of geometric light, in four modes (always on, 15 min. auto-off, flashing, and fading). Build your own custom nightlight, skyscraper, glowing robot, or anything that lights up your imagination.
