Adding LED Lights for Wardrobe

[TheTwist]

I am wanting to add some LED lights into my wardrobe shelving. I have seen a few around but I am not sure if they will work to my needs.


Basically, each shelf is quite dark and it’s hard to see things clearly, so I want to add lighting to each of them.

What I am looking for is when I open the door, lights will switch on and when it closes it will turn off.
I want them to turn on and off either day or night so basically based when the door is opened.

Anyone recommend anything that they have used? I would rather not wire it to the mains electricity.

Just put all your clothes in the fridge. Job done. ??

I've got one of these in my wardrobe and it works a treat. It has a built-in daylight and motion sensor, it's bright enough to light up my entire wardrobe and it uses 3x AAA batteries which last for about a year. I'm sure you'll find something similar on Amazon or EBay.

Ikea do a couple:

STÖTTA battery-operated white, LED cabinet lighting strip w sensor, Luminous flux: 50 lm. The simplest way to light up your wardrobe without waking your partner in the morning. A soft light switches on as you open the door. It’s battery-operated, so you don’t have to deal with cables.

You'll need a driver and a nearby 13amp socket for the second option - there are drivers at the bottom of the page linked to above.

Thanks for the replies

I am not looking for strips as they are going in small shelves 50cm x 30cm.
I think these round ones might do the trick Amazon
