Light Kit for Cinderella Princess Castle #71040 (Ver. 3)

Every tower on its own dimmer

The Florida castle is 189 feet of grey stone, blue roofs and gold spires, and nothing else in the Magic Kingdom was allowed to rise above it when the park was laid out. It opened with the park in October 1971 and has held the centre of it ever since. It is built in grey stone with blue roofs and gold spires in a stepped, climbing composition that is deliberately different from the smaller Sleeping Beauty Castle in California. LEGO Disney Castle version of the Florida castle arrived in 2016 as a 4,080-piece build and has stayed in the catalogue for close to a decade.

Under the plates, 71040 Disney Cinderella Castle Light Kit Version 3 is carried by a Technic frame that runs the full footprint of the castle and takes a session of its own before the first tower rises. From there the build settles into repetition through the towers, the gatehouse is the one section that stays interesting to assemble, and the back opens on hinges onto the furnished hall, the bedroom and the staircase.

ZENE Bricks LED Lighting Version 3 is the tidiest of the three. The colour balance is warmer at the base and cooler through the tower windows, which suits the pale stone and blue roofs better than a single temperature can. The gatehouse, the arched windows, the interior and the spires all run as separate zones, so the castle can be tuned rather than just switched on, and every connection terminates at one accessible point at the base. With the base running warm and the spires cool, the castle carries the festive glow of a building lit for an occasion.

Version three divides the castle into more separate zones than the earlier kits: the base runs warm, the tower windows stay cooler and more restrained, and every circuit has its own switch, so the gatehouse can be left glowing on its own while the rest of the build stays dark. It is the version we would fit to a lego disney sets for adults shelf, and the best of the three disney castle light kit options for this model.
