Definitely deserves a like, just saw it and installed my lights to my detolf. Went to home depot bought the same exact ones and the instruction manual doesnt say how to probably connect each strip so i RUclips’d many videos and every one was about the way it looks after installation then boom found this one and now im about done cutting the zipties and DONE
I was looking for lighting for a dollhouse and saw these in Home Depot last night. I decided to go on RUclips before I bought them. I knew that I was going to find some wonderful person to show me how to assemble these!🤗 I guess I will be going back to purchase them. Thanks you so much!😁
Thanks Kyle for the step-by-step of putting up the led lights and where to get them.. I’m excited about setting mine up now. Gonna need at least 3.. wish me luck 😬😆
Thanks a lot Kyle.. your video really helped me out a lot. My detolf shelves are looking awesome. Can’t wait to fill em up with all my plastic crack 🤣🤣👌🏽
Here in Australia Also occasionally sell detolf style cabinets for their specials and I've bought 25 of them. Luke Lighting is the best way to go, no wires, drilling etc.
Nice! I wish the nearest Ikea wasn't like 4 hours away from me, haha... I still have several though. Hey, one alternative set-up is to utilize a backdrop in your Detolf. i.e. line the back of the display with an appropriately themed poster or simple black poster board, etc... Then you can easily hide all wiring behind that.
I followed your video and how you used the cords, the teeth end were point to the left on the bottom shelf/strip, which direction are they pointed on the second, third, and ceiling level? So I can streamline without over thinking it. Thanks
So sorry for the late reply Kevin! have been super busy and haven't been on RUclips at all! So the pattern is the "teeth" on the first shelf is on the left, right on the 2nd, left on the third and right on the roof/4th. Hope this helps
Cant even get it shipped here so I bought as an alternative a acrylic storage shelf i mounted from cb2 toronto and installed led puck lights . Works great for my heman classic figs
No, there not are not facing the same way. I ran into the same problem just got done installing mine. I had to rewatch and pause through out the video just to make sure again. Awesome video but definitely should had walked you through the part when putting the 3mm lighting strips individually 1 by one would had saved me alot time.
One thing I did do differently was I drilled a one inch circle at the base, so the wire runs underneath the cabinet and not around the front. Also used a cap(you would see on a desk) to cover the hole. Turned out great.
@@alonbass4999 Wow! Thats alot of cabinets lol. I'm sure it will look Awesome once there all done! I had to pause and go little by little but in the end it was worth it. Now I just got to put some weather strips along the inside to keep the dust from coming in and Im done. Definitely loving the new look! Best of luck!
Thanks glad you found it helpful!! They are from a brand called Commercial Electric. You can find them on Home Depots website as well called "Linkable Single Color Indoor LED Flexible Tape Light Kit (4 Strip Pack). Hope this helps!
Actually I picked up a set of IKEA Ledberg (these small circle ones visible on 3:03 ) . Works fine but I have to redesign the "cable menagement" . It looks similar to yours but I have to find some clear zipties. My problem was far more different - IKEA stopped making a third color variant (wooden), but I was lucky to get 2 used ones from my friend.
Awesome set up man. For someone living in the UK, do you or anyone in the comments know of an alternative for the commercial electric led light strips?
Awesome video! Getting a Hulkbuster soon. Its on Pre-Ordered. As a noob collector, I’ve been watching videos about how thin the Detolf original shelves glasses that it comes with. Getting some thick glass or acrylic cuts as soon as my Hulkbuster ship home. Question: I was looking at some miniature car’s puffier unit. About the size of a cigarette lighter charger. You ever thought of it as a good idea to installed one inside the display cabinet as a dust proof mechanism? :-)
Really great video! I don't own a detof yet but now I got a general idea of what lightning to use and how to position them! Thank for the info! On a side note what do you think about the signing of Adi?
Thanks for checking out the video!!!! I’m honestly beyond excited to see him take the pitch in the 🔶🔷!! I felt like a kid at Christmas all yesterday when all of these reports were coming out that we had signed him!!! I think him and Ledesma will be a force to be reckoned with!!
Would you say that those lights are overly blue or yellow? I just got some of the light strips from IKEA and I don't really like how yellow they are. I want something kinda in the middle between cool white and warm. Any suggestions?
Bryant Diaz the Home Depot ones I picked up definitely more of the of the brilliant white leaning more towards blue! I’m not a fan of the warm yellow tint to the IKEA ones which is why I use the Home Depot ones
Awesome vid man!!! Probably the best setup and in depth collection video on YT ! Quick question are there colored l.e.d lights at Home Depot from the same brand you bought?
Great video! I got my first detolf for christmas this year and I went ahead and bought the same lights and went with your wiring tutorial, that would have been a doozy to figure out on my own haha so thank you for that! My display all lit up and looking super bright!
Hey man great video, I duplicated your setup but I ran into an issue with my commercial electric lights, I picked up the white + color RGB one with the remote for an extra $10, and while almost identical, it only ships with the 2 long cables and 1 super short cable with no splitter/medium cable, so buyers may want to double check the contents of the light strips they pick up. I'm guessing you can't split the RGBW version, fortunately, they do sell extra wiring harness kits for $6 to add more different types of interconnecting wire harnesses.
I picked up 9 sets to do my detolf cases and now about a year later half of the sets have gone yellowish in color while the other half are starting to have individual leds turn. Anyone else having this issue and can you get new drivers for the set?
@@slapshottoys4989 super duper bro, maybe I'm a fan of Mike Herrera I'm going to send you a video by message, friend, a video where he greets me hahaha, it's also a great influence for me
tha vault thanks for checking out the video!! No if you use LED light strips they will not hurt your figures at all! LED lights do not produce any UV light which is what causes fading/damage!
tha vault if you over tighten the bolts putting it together that puts pressure on the glass panels which cause them to break. But if you don’t over tighten the bolts they are rock solid! My oldest one is 5+ years old and haven’t had a single issue
Worked out great except for one part the lighting kit from Home Depot the adhesive sucks , gotta get some double sided tape but should work out fine thanks for the tips would love to have you in our Toy Group , Open Box Mafia on Facebook , your buddy Josh Pence is also a member with us , consider it my personal invite thanks again
Word of advice for anyone buying these specific LED's that he got at home depot. They will turn dark yellow very quickly depending on how long you keep them on. If you use them often enough they will yellow within a month.

Clear, detailed, and to the point information. Very helpful. Great video. Thanks for sharing.
This was very helpful. Thanks
Thank youuuu this was very informative .. I was looking for a way to install lighting without creating shadows ♡
Thanks. This is the setup I'm gonna go with.
Thank you for this video. Went with this setup and I’m very happy with it. Thanks again.
Awesome video buddy, I’m going to try to tackle this myself with my own detolf
I love your video i like and subscribe in your channel
Thanks for this man, just built 2 detolfs and they sorely need leds thanks for this guide👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
awesome idea and video. Thank you for sharing. I am headed to Ikea to purchase 3 of these babies. Wooohooo
Awesome thanks alot ! You made my display lighting choice super easy 👍
Aye - Nasti Nati, shout out from Cincinnati! - Nice video, super helpful
Thank you for your tutorial video Due, very well explained..! Greetings from Peru..!
Really great video, thanks
Thank you so much for your great videos. They look amazing when done.
Wow! great video! Great tutorial talking through each step. Cheers pal!
Thanks for checking it out!! Glad you found it helpful!!!
Very helpful and in detail explanation !
Thanks so much for checking out the video!! Glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for the awesome tutorial and great video, dude! 👍
Perfect video thanks alot for sharing this info. You saved me so much time 👍👍👍
Thanks Kyle for the step-by-step of putting up the led lights and where to get them.. I’m excited about setting mine up now. Gonna need at least 3.. wish me luck 😬😆
Thanks so much for checking out the video!!! Hope your Detolfs and displays turn out amazing!!!
Thanks a lot Kyle.. your video really helped me out a lot. My detolf shelves are looking awesome. Can’t wait to fill em up with all my plastic crack 🤣🤣👌🏽
Great video, do you think drilling a hole in the bottom and running the power supply wire through that would be a problem?
Seems like it wouldn't fit through the hole. Need to be able to hide that wire
Look good but don't like the edge where the led is.. maybe i might add some black electric tape at the edge to hide them on top of the glass
will be using this video when I finally get the cabinets, got a growing collection that needs displaying. thanks.
Hey late comment...But how do you move your detolf after assembled. I’m worried it may break.
Very informative! Thanks so much!
an awesome tutorial on how to put together a detolf!
Thanks for checking it out!!!! Glad you liked it!!!!
Thanks dude. Gunna bust this project out tomorrow
Great video thanks for the how too
Here in Australia Also occasionally sell detolf style cabinets for their specials and I've bought 25 of them.
Luke Lighting is the best way to go, no wires, drilling etc.
Great video! This made it so much easier when setting it up. I was lazy and didn't want to figure it out lol My cabinet looks great!
Awesome how-to video Kyle! Looks so much better with the lights!
Nice! I wish the nearest Ikea wasn't like 4 hours away from me, haha... I still have several though.
Hey, one alternative set-up is to utilize a backdrop in your Detolf. i.e. line the back of the display with an appropriately themed poster or simple black poster board, etc... Then you can easily hide all wiring behind that.
That is another fantastic displaying option!! I've seen some amazing detolf's with backing on each shelf that look insanely good!
Thank you I used your idea and it worked great. My only question is leaving it on all day would the figures get hot from the light?
paranoidpandap the led lights don’t give off any heat! I’ve accidentally left them on for days and haven’t had any problems at all!
I followed your video and how you used the cords, the teeth end were point to the left on the bottom shelf/strip, which direction are they pointed on the second, third, and ceiling level? So I can streamline without over thinking it. Thanks

Just watched your video. Just got my lights at Home Depot. Just a question: Are all your light strips faced the same way?
No, there not are not facing the same way. I ran into the same problem just got done installing mine. I had to rewatch and pause through out the video just to make sure again. Awesome video but definitely should had walked you through the part when putting the 3mm lighting strips individually 1 by one would had saved me alot time.
@@jackierodriguez7279 Thanks! Will do the same. I will stop and play several times to make sure I get it right. I have 10 cabinets to light up.
One thing I did do differently was I drilled a one inch circle at the base, so the wire runs underneath the cabinet and not around the front. Also used a cap(you would see on a desk) to cover the hole. Turned out great.

Honestly. I haven’t even watched this yet but it’s already helped me lmao but for real. I need help dude. Can’t wait to watch this!!
great video ,thanks buddy,,i have 3 detolfs coming,ill stop at my local homedepot and pick-up 3 sets of those lighting kits
nearly burst my ear with your audio
Wtf😂
Hi thanks for this tutorial. It is very helpful. I just wanna ask can you provide the name of the led lights? Thanks.
Thanks glad you found it helpful!! They are from a brand called Commercial Electric. You can find them on Home Depots website as well called "Linkable Single Color Indoor LED Flexible Tape Light Kit (4 Strip Pack). Hope this helps!
Amazing ! Helped me out with mines . Thank you
Loved the vid Kyle! New setup now is looking amazing!

It looks similar to yours but I have to find some clear zipties. My problem was far more different - IKEA stopped making a third color variant (wooden), but I was lucky to get 2 used ones from my friend.
I was lowkey very skeptical of the lights and wiring but you did a good job of minimizing the exposure. Nice
Thanks for the video - how large are the statues you are putting inside the sections of the display case...
samvonshmam i have a detolf case from ikea the space between each shelf is 15 inches. Hot toys usually is 1/6 scale figures meaning 12 inches
just bought three of them and they look amazing.
Awesome set up man. For someone living in the UK, do you or anyone in the comments know of an alternative for the commercial electric led light strips?
We want more videos!!! Focus on hot toys and art and we will come!!! Haha miss ya brother
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great video! Looks awesome!!
Thanks!!!! Glad you enjoyed the video!!

Thanks for the info, dude. I’ve been looking for really bright lighting and this setup looks great. 👍
Thanks bro...
I will buy that...
Really great video! I don't own a detof yet but now I got a general idea of what lightning to use and how to position them! Thank for the info!
On a side note what do you think about the signing of Adi?

Slapshot Toys i was bummed when I found out he was leaving Portland. Hopefully he'll have success at Cincinnati like he did here!!
How long is the cord from power adapter to the light switch? I don't have many outlet
It’s 2 feet from the plug to the on off switch
Slapshot Toys ok thanks
Slapshot Toys i have 13 detolf shelves and planning to get a light in each one. Thats a bunch of wires and plugs lol

Great Vid I didn't know about those lights at Home depot. Also have you dust proofed any of your detolf's I would love to see a video on that.
thanks for the great video bro
Thanks for checking it out!!!!

Any idea if there’s a more bigger lika 28” all dimensions
It was cheaper to have 10 detolfs shipped then 1 snake mountain. I think it was around 50 US doll hairs before the covid.
thankss
Whats the name of this led lights called and from were
There's no Ikea in Arkansas, and the only way is to have it delivered, but delivery is $199 to my house.

make sure you dont put to much on them.. i heard they shattered or something
I prefer led puck lights they look nicer
You are either extremely tall or you live in a tiny house made for one sixth scale people
