ᐅ What are your experiences with the Ikea Pax LED light strips?

Created on: 13 Oct 2020 08:23

Hello everyone,

I am currently considering installing the Ikea Pax LED strips in my new wardrobe. Since I have no prior experience with this type of lighting, I would like to know about your experiences with it. I am especially interested in:

- How easy or complicated is the installation, especially for someone with limited DIY skills?
- What is the quality of the light like? Is it bright enough while still being comfortable?
- Are there any issues with durability or power supply?
- How flexible are the strips in terms of positioning and cutting?

I want to avoid having major problems or disappointments after assembly. So please feel free to share detailed or brief reports—I look forward to your feedback!

I primarily want to improve the interior lighting in the closet because the main lighting in my bedroom is sometimes not sufficient

I can relate to that very well. It was similar for me, and I find that the lighting inside the closet really makes a difference in daily life – no more searching in the dark!

In addition to the positioning, I would also recommend paying close attention to the connections of the LED strips. After a few months, the connections can become loose. A quick check from time to time prevents the light from going out at the wrong moment.

Also, I added a small switch to my setup because otherwise the light was always on, which I didn’t want. You might want to consider that if you don’t have an automatic closet door system with a sensor.

All in all, good luck with your installation!

I have been using the Ikea Pax LED strips for two years. Installation is easy, the lighting is good for the wardrobe, and I have had no issues with durability.
Important: Do not overload the power supply; it's better to split the load.
