    Lego GBC Brickworld Ball Pump in Red and Blue and UV Adapter

    Lego GBC Brickworld Ball Pump is a reliable ball pump module designed by Brian Alano.

    I have blue and red builds of this module and use them regularly at shows due to their reliability.

    The module is highly extensible and I use variations of it in several of my other modules.

    Night Lighting

    The modules are setup for night running as well.

    They use my custom Lego UV/Led lights, with the UV shining on the balls and the Lego light passing through a trans-green/yellow brick to color the module.
