Hello everyone, I am planning to equip my Ikea Hemnes wardrobe with integrated LED lighting to enhance its appearance and provide more light inside. The challenge is to find a solution that fits well within the furniture, is as discreet as possible, and does not require major structural modifications. Has anyone had experience with upgrading Hemnes furniture with LED lighting? Which types of products (light strips, spotlights, LED tape) work best? What should I consider when connecting the power supply? I would appreciate detailed advice, including tips on installation, power supply, and maintenance!

What is the optimal color temperature for lighting?The ideal range for Hemnes is 2700K to 3000K. 2700K gives a very warm, almost yellowish light that creates a cozy atmosphere, while 3000K is slightly more neutral but still warm enough to prevent the wood from looking cold. Personally, I find 3000K the most practical, as it provides a balanced light.guoscar schrieb:
I have read about 2700K to 3000K – which do you prefer for furniture with a light wood finish like the HEMNES? Finally, a tip for installation: Check whether you can mount the LEDs flush with the edge or if a slight recess is better. This prevents glare and ensures even lighting. If the LEDs are to be installed in glass (e.g., for display cabinet doors), special LED profile channels are recommended.
