# Assemble the Light Stack

*Here's how to assemble your Light Stack.*

          Discontinued Hardware

          

Tulip discontinued sales of the Andon Light Stack kit in June 2022.

The last device that needs to be setup is the Andon Light Stack. In order to setup this device, we will need the parts referenced in the image below.

Please make sure you have all the parts required before proceeding to setup the Andon Light Stack. You will also need a Phillips Screwdriver to assemble the Light Stack.

**Bulb Connection**

Connect the bulbs to each socket in the Andon Skeleton. Match the color of the wire leaving the socket to that of the bulb.

Confirm that the Andon Light Stack is working by:

1. Selecting [Light Kit Unit Test](https://tulip.co/library/apps/light-kit-unit-test/) on the Factory Kit Navigator Page.
2. Follow the instructions on the Light Kit Unit Test application and see whether the red and green lights come on.

          Note

          

Following Tulip's discontinued sale of the Andon Light Stack kit in June 2022, the Tulip library deprecated the Andon Light Stack Unit Test. You can find additional Andon content to get started below:
