Today I had a few minutes to kill so I installed LED lights in the closets

I bought self adhesive LED light strips from some nondescript company on Ebay. But I see these "light strips" everywhere so they shouldn't be hard to buy.





The light simply runs from top to bottom of the closet, through small holes drilled in the shelves.



A small "normally open" push button switch turns the light on when the door is opened



The light they throw is perfect for these closets.

No Light...


Light on...

What did you tap into for power source?

[Rbertalotto]

I find the easiest way to "grab" power for these modifications is from a ceiling fixture. I use white plastic, self adhesive cable cover available at Lowes / Home Depot.



I could have pulled out the refrigerator and found 12V power there, but I was lazy....

Yeah I usually pull through ceiling if I can with a wire snake.

[Rbertalotto]

Yup, but in this case there is structure in the ceiling that I didn't want to mess with. I have an inspection camera that I use in my gunsmithing to look down the bore of a barrel that I used to see if I had a clear shot to the top of the closet...no joy. A ceiling beam is in the way.
