![]() In my project I used the front end with the power connector, and the back end with the pre-soldered wires. Just to be clear, the waste part of the LED ribbon, the part I cut off and didn’t use, came from the middle of the ribbon. Again I cut it off at the top at the nearest cut mark. I ran the other half of the LED ribbon down the other side of the door (more blue tape) with the pre-soldered wires at the bottom, since I intended to use those wires to power the second ribbon. As I mentioned earlier, one end of the uncut ribbon has a power connect, but the other end has two wires pre-soldered on. The remaining length of LED ribbon was more than long enough to do the other side of the door. I applied power to make sure it still worked, and opened and closed the door to make sure everything was free and clear. Then I cut it off at the top on the nearest cut line. First I ran the ribbon down the hinge side of the door, using lots of blue tape, with the power connector at the bottom. The ribbon is so low profile (about 1/16th of an inch) that I had no problems with it impacting shelves or hardware, the door closed just fine with the ribbon attached. For even lighting, I wanted it on both sides of the door, so that was going to involve cutting and soldering. I decided to install the LED ribbon on the door of my cabinet. Once you pull the backing off the 3M adhesive that comes preattached to the ribbon there will be no repositioning, it’s going down for good. I’d recommend initially positioning the LED ribbon using blue painter’s tape. Clean the surface of your project well with isopropyl alcohol before sticking anything on it. Parts List 1 – spool (16.4’) LED ribbon (HitLight or other) 1 – 12v power supply Wire cutter/stripper Soldering iron and solder Blue painter's tape Isopropyl alcohol and paper towels The LED spool costs about $12, and the power supply costs $11, so the total cost is under $25, remarkably cheap.Įveryone’s particular project will be different of course, but some things will be constant. Advantages of LED ribbon lighting are: 1) Low voltage (more or less impossible to get shocked or burn down the house), 2) low wattage (cheap to run), 3) low heat (won’t melt your stuff), 4) flexible (literally, it’s a ribbon, super bendy), 5) self-adhesive (3M double stick tape), 6) good quality light (available in day light, warm white, and primary colors), and 7) never burns out. After considerable research I settled on LED lights in ribbon form from HitLights, but there are several suppliers. Track Lights, Recessed Lights Under-Cabinet Lights, Curio Cabinets.
