Creating a powerful engine effect is crucial. We achieve this by layering different types of light and effects:
-High-Intensity LEDs: We use our brightest LEDs (often in blue, white, or red) to form the core of the engine's thrust.
-Custom Effect Boards: We often pair these with effect boards that create a "pulsing" or "flickering" effect, which simulates the unstable, powerful energy of a working engine or thruster.
-Trans-Bricks: Placing these lights behind translucent LEGO® pieces helps to diffuse the light, creating a softer, more voluminous glow.
