The power wires run inside the door, on the left. The long wire running to the top of the picture doesn’t actually power any of the lights in the display case. The setup was simple and easy, the connectors we simple enough to pass through all the gaps and frame and I was able to do a very tidy job. The 'brightness' also falls into my plans for dimmable LEDs. I have no need of a dimmer, because the brightness is JUST RIGHT and NOT HARSH. It looks very professional and meant to be there. Display units come in a variety of colours, shapes, sizes and styles and can be made of various materials, including wood, glass, metal, or acrylic. Easily find what you need with LED strip lights housed in polyurethane that are suitable for use in confined spaces due to the low heat emitted by their energy efficient LED light source. These light strips are flexible and dimmable. Available in single or multi-color. Shelf lighting
Premium grade translucent grey wires, exclusively designed and fabricated for our product, ensure hassle-free wire management, leaving no unsightly wires behind. I'm relatively knew to figure collecting and my collection has reached the point where they no longer fit on my bookshelves and desk. Thus, I was planning to get my first detolf. My question is, what is the best way to go about lighting it? I've already watched plenty of tutorials and stuff about how people go about lighting their display cases so I have a general idea of some of the more popular solutions. Edit: Looking a bit closer on one of the photos you provided, it looks like you did almost the same thing; so the hold is too small for that cord, eh?Now this is optional but I did it to make it more neat looking. I used double side tape for the three cords onto top of my case so I don't have any wire hanging down. The sensor cable which is the one that doesn't have anything connected to, you want to make sure it is visible to you or else the controller for the lights won't work.
I've been spending some time trying to figure out what type of lighting I wanted to put in my Ikea Detolf cabinet. Being made mostly of glass, with a very slim metal frame inside, I didn't want any kind of wire clutter, or clutter from connectors and current 'boxes', transformers (electrical), etc.. I wanted something as clean as possible, with easy wire routing. I can deal with wires outside the cabinet just fine. Display cabinets are versatile pieces of furniture that can be used in a variety of settings to showcase and protect valuable and personal items. In addition to their functional purpose of displaying and storing items, they can also add aesthetic value to any room.Each set includes four pure white tone 5050 LED strips and is intended for installation in a single cabinet.

Oznium also sells power connectors, and I used one of these with a 12V AC adapter I had laying around (I think it came with one of my external hard drives). I hooked everything together to test it out. Close-up of how I mounted the LED strip to the pylon. I dropped the exposure on this picture so that the details of the LED strip are visible. With the right lighting, you can easily locate all your items and place focus on your favourite pieces. Whether your shelves are situated on top or below the cabinets, proper illumination can elevate the overall look and functionality of your storage solutions.
Design a stylish storage cabinet
Whether you’re looking to light the way for young minds in the family or you’d just like to put your favorite books on display, bookcase lighting creates stunning ambience while calling attention to elegant bookshelves and the treasures they hold. Light bookshelves from the top or bottom with integrated bookcase lights using energy-efficient LED lights with a soft, pleasant glow. Thankfully, the same accent lighting that you choose for your bookcase can also light up other storage options throughout the house. Cabinet lighting I was also very glad that the wires for the lights were plenty long enough for nice clean routing on the slim Detolf frame and had plenty of room for controller placement on top of the Detolf as well. Yes, I did not rout anything through the bottom, I made everything go to the top of the Detolf. Once you get to the bottom, you keep going with the strip to the other side of the glass case without separation. However, one of the most common types of display cabinets is the glass cabinet, which features a transparent or translucent front panel that allows items to be on display. Glass cabinets are often used in homes to display decorative objects or collectibles. These types of storage solutions can be found in a variety of settings, including homes, museums, galleries, retail stores, to name a few. Customise it with lights
The solution I went with are LED strips. I got these from Oznium, a company that seems to cater to automotive hobbyists. There’s no reason why these lights won’t work for my purposes, however. I bought their Flathead LED Strips as they were cheap and come in a warm white color; I prefer a more golden-tinted light rather than clinically cold white light. Select energy efficient LED shelf lighting or LED under shelf lighting that illuminates cherished items like little league trophies or the wedding China that comes out for special occasions. Position lights to hang over your shelves or provide another type of curated look by lining them with flexible LED light strips. Things to know before lighting your bookcase, shelf or cabinet When you have the lights in hand, you want to test them out before installing them to make sure they are working correctly. So, I plug both light strips to the power cable for testing. When connecting the light strip to the power connection, there are arrow pointing on both side that need to match up or else the light won't turn on.There are a lot of ways to light up a Detolf. Perhaps the most prosaic and certainly the easiest to set up would be to simply shine a lamp into it. While it would get the job done, it’s a rather slipshod solution and besides, a lamp would take up valuable space that I need for more figures. Another way to do it would be to use Ikea’s Non light; it installs in the top of the display case. I didn’t want to do that for a few reasons: one, I really don’t like going to Ikea, two, it would only illuminate the top shelf, and three, if I remember correctly the Non light uses a halogen bulb. I’m not sure how hot it gets but I’m wary of putting a halogen light near plastic figures; I’ve already got problems with leaning and ankle warping, I don’t need to melt down the heads of my figures as well. When it comes to choosing materials for display cabinets, several factors come into play, such as the intended use, desired style, and budget. Display cabinets are often an important centrepiece in a room, which is why many people prefer to have them customised to match their existing decor instead of purchasing a pre-designed option. To find out where to cut the strip, there are little gold tab every 3 inches. You can see a small line in the middle and has a scissor icon on it. Want to make sure you cut directly on that line like the picture below. I was glad to see everything felt solid and well put together. Nothing was out of place or looking lousy. So I started setting it up.
