Ok guys I need to advide for diplay lights for my sideshow and other statues?
OK I'm starting to display some of my statues and I have two large IKEA Besta's and I bought the battery opperated LED stick and click lights and I'm wondering how to stick the lights in each Besta compartment/shelf. Should I put one in the direct above center or two above each compartment one on the left top and one on the right top? Any display advice or pictures of ideas of how to do this would be much appreciated. Thank you all in advance. Videos coming soon.

Depending on how much light you want in each departement i guess, the LED's i bought are pleanty bright and i only needed one per compartement. I centered it and put it an inch and a half from the front of the shelf. It also depends how far in you are displaying your statues. I like the front of them lit up so the light is closer to the front and not dead center

Thanks for the help what brand of led did you buy and where did you get them? I bought these cordless ones and Bed Bath and Beyond they come 3 to a pack and take 3 AAA batteries and say as seen on TV on the packaging. They have like a sticky adhesive to stick to whatever surface you put them on. Nice setup by the way jetfuel.

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

Thanks guys, the lights are From Costco, they are wireless as well. You can control up to 20 LED pucks with one switch.

If you are in Canada you can get a 4pack of the same lights for $28. A better deal
