Hi everyone! This week I will be showing you how I lit my Detolfs using Govee LED light strips. It was so easy to do and hope this inspires some of you to also light up your collections! As always thanks for watching, and I'll see you next week with my February figure haul.
SUPPLIES
Ikea Detolf: www.ikea.com/ca/en/p/detolf-g...
Govee LED Strips (32.8 ft): amzn.to/3v1oMmY
Drill with a 1/2 inch drill bit
Cutting board
(P.S. Thanks to the Starbucks barista that recognized me the other day, you made my day and I hope you and your bf have a great week!)

Thank you for the awesome video. Recently expanded my figure collection (I'm at 19 now) and have been looking at getting a detolf for a while. I never understood how people did their lights though so I've been putting it off. Now I've got a good idea so here's hoping they come back in stock soon.

Thanks for this video! I have my current detolf set up with the LED strips on each shelf like you mentioned in the introduction. Since IKEA changed their entire LED lineup since I got mine, I was looking for inspiration for when I get my 2nd detolf. I think I'll switch your solution in the long run.!

This video was just what I was looking for! I'm going to scoop up Detolf this weekend and was curious how to set up the lights. I use Govee RGBIC for my Arcade and they're definitely worth the money :) I've seen some people run the strips both the front and back of the cab but I like how the reflection makes it appear like you did too even though it appears just to be the front of the cabinet. Yours looks freaking RAD! Thanks again for the help! Stay clean and Game On!

Oh sweet! I spent all day yesterday researching LEDs, detolf mods, sizes and dimensions etc. and came up with a setup that would work for what I wanted: well lit all around with RBG. Just clicked on this for the hell of it, just see what people are doing and... this is exactly what I plan to do! Same layout of the strips, same LEDs themselves! It looks great! I'm hopefully moving into my first apartment next weekish and have been super excited to finally display all my stuff I've been collecting over the past year and a half. Still all boxed away. Pretty good timing with this upload! Also Mikuuuu!

Great vid, I always thought it's super complex to do this, but it seems pretty simple honestly. I have 3 detolfs full of One Piece figs and I got the regular IKEA top lights, but they are far from what I wanted as they only light up the top shelf and rest is under shadow of whatever is on that that shelf. Your setup looks sooo much better.

The only tip I'd add is instead of feeding the entire strip through the hole, unplug it from the controller and just run the connecting end through from the inside. A smaller hole is required that way, if the leds don't have to go through. I also like all black cats. They seem to be more relaxed than others, in my experience anyways. I envy your collection.

Great job Gwyn 👍! I highly recommend going with this lighting method to easily light up a Detolf. It's clean, relatively inexpensive, and gives you lots of amazing colorful lighting options. I have 5 Detolfs and went a different route, preferring to use wired LED pucks, but hiding a massive amount of wires to get a clean professional-looking installation was a nightmare! I really LOVE the way mine turned out, but the LED strip method you used is definitely the way to go if you want to avoid headaches and save a good amount of $$$ for more figures instead of lights.

great video! only thing I'd add here is that you can cut the LED strips to length, so rather than having all the spare LED coiled up under the cabinet, you can instead feed the entire strip through the hole, then cut your strip after sticking down all the length you need :)

Nice work -- I used V shaped diffusers on my Detolf for my diecast models - for the video here I would remove the excess strip that goes from the drilled hole back to the mains supply - just cut the strip off and sodler wires in place with heatshrink back to the power box - then you wont get extra LEDs beyond the cabinet where you dont want them

I put my led light strips through the hole on top of the detolf, I got 16ft geeni strips and they were nearly perfect, only had to cut a few inches off. They turn any color you want and my figures look sooooo good! I’m glad I saw this video and went the led strip route, was about to get the detolf light bar set from ikea or the spot lights which would have been pretty boring in comparison, would have just lit them up. Not as cool as rainbow 🌈 or your choice of color.

Hi Gwen. I know this is completely unrelated, but I’ve encountered a bunch of people who have no idea how to use MFC. What do you think about a video documenting the basics? On both phone and comp of course. A lot of people I know use phone to navigate MFC. I don’t see any videos on the topic... I think it would be very useful, though, and I’d be happy to share it around. By the way, the lights look stunning.

On one hand having the lights all forward will look clean. On the other hand the light may not bounce around enough to hit the back side if you put figures in the back or a lot on 1 shelf. For me, I had older ikea light strips/bar(?) before they changed them for the worst. I stuck 1 to the back and 3 to the front. Lights up most of the case without any issue. I think having 2 rows of LED strips would be too much light on the figures, but that's just my opinion. Unless you had color changing strips that were off timed where one changes to a bright color and the other is a darker color.
