If you wish to customise your display cabinets with lighting, there are a wide range of energy-efficient lighting solutions in the market that are modern, cost-effective and easy to install. 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.
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. 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. 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 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. 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.

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. 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. Since the power cord is somewhat short, you might need an extension cord to connect with so you are able to turn on the lights. It just depends on what brand light you use. For me, I had to used two that had multiple connection. 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. Thanks! I took the interconnect, cut it in half, stripped about a centimeter of insulation off of each end of the interconnect and spaaker wire, and then spliced each end to a length of speaker cable. I soldered the ends, but you could also use a connector like a butt splice or a crimp cap (they are slightly less intimidating to use if you’ve never soldered before, but they make for a bulkier connection. You can search Google and Youtube for “crimping wire” to see how to use them. Assuming you’re in the United States, Lowe’s or Home Depot will have butt splices and crimping tools in the electrical section). Alternatively, you could simply strip the ends of the wires, twist them together like a twist-tie, and then cover the connection with electrical tape. This doesn’t make for a great electrical connection and probably no expert would recommend doing this, but I did this for my car stereo install (when I was younger and didn’t know better) and it worked okay (though when I got older and learned better, I dismantled my car interior again and re-did the connections). I think that soldering would make for the cleanest connection.
Once you get to the bottom, you keep going with the strip to the other side of the glass case without separation. 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. 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 lightsHere are some of the things that I used for this build. You will need scissor, double sided tape, and two 16.4 feet RGB 5050 LED strip lights for each Detolf. Here is where I got my lights and tape from. You don't have to get the exact kinds but something similar. You want to make sure the lights are waterproof incase you decide to clean your display with water or cleaning product.
