I made a recent roadtrip to IKEA for two BILLY bookcases with OXBERG doors.

These are for my hobby room to help organize as well as display things I make or collect. That’s why I went with the half panel half glass doors.

I added some LED tape strip lights I picked up at Home Depot. Two boxes of 16′ lengths left me with several feet left over. There was a fair amount of time spent cutting, stripping, splitting off from the power source, etc. It was good to get back in to some electronics work though.

Now put the lights on a smart switch to turn on automatically at dark. I’ve done this around the house an the extra light is great for walking into the room without having to turn on any lights.

Great idea! The plug is actually controlled by a smart switch. I need to get Home Assistant back up and running and configure all my devices.
