In 1822, Augustin Fresnel invented a lens made from annular prisms, characterized by its ability to concentrate light beams more effectively than reflective mirrors or large convex mirrors, making it ideal for use in lighthouses. Today, the Fresnel lens has also been widely used in spotlights and most VR headsets. However, this article introduces the LEGO Electric Lighthouse Building Set. Statistics show that the invention of the lighthouse has saved at least a million ships. The most significant feature of this LEGO lighthouse building set is the inclusion of an electric adjustable Fresnel lens. The LEGO Ideas Lighthouse consists of 2065 pieces and has a very ingenious design. Although this lighthouse building set does not come with a giant omnidirectional lantern, it can still rotate with the help of a motor. As a glass manufacturer, Chance Brothers has produced various types of lighthouse lenses, but the one seen here is more streamlined and retro. In addition to detailed environmental details, LEGO has also thoughtfully included a lighthouse keeper, battery-powered fireplace lighting, a treasure-filled cave. There is also a small pier where birds, cats, and fish are playing, complemented by waves lapping against the shore. It is worth mentioning that the series was originally submitted to the official LEGO Ideas by fan Sandro Quattrini. He uses the online name Roses Must Build in the LEGO community, and interested friends can visit YouTube to watch his various building videos. Finally, the LEGO Ideas Lighthouse Building Set is scheduled to go on sale on September 1st, priced at $300 (approximately 2043 RMB).
