Ikea PAX wardrobe lighting installation/Ikea NORRFLY LED lighting strip

[@mariaavila5334]

Your videos are good. They make up for what IKEA failed to deliver.

[@rcj1337]

100% agree

[@jmaaloe]

This was super helpful! I've been putting off installing the lights in wardrobe for a year (got distracted, couldn't be bothered, etc.), but I finally got them set up using your video, and it took all of 15 minutes!

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching

[@rcj1337]

Same!

[@andyf-d4222]

Followed all your instructions to assemble a double PAX wardrobe with the lights and it's all gone brilliantly. Thank you for the videos and I will definitely recommend anyone who's thinking of doing a self build to watch these first. 👍

[@rcj1337]

Thank you so much! Your video was exactly what I needed

[@xChabelita]

It's actually double sided tape and it holds the cable pretty well. It's also discret

[@DivineTai]

So I’m about to play this video while installing 2 of these lights wish me luck 👍🏽🥂. Thank you sir 🙏🏽

[@melmill1164]

Did it work? Lol I just ordered mine.

[@Kannstdudirnichtausdenken88]

this is gold. i hope you get some voucers from IKEA for 180.000 helpful views

[@PPFlatPack]

Nice one

[@rpbartlett]

Have you got instructions for the new ÖVERSIDAN Led Wardrobe light

[@paolocoletti3424]

Does anyone know what are the power reqs for each size of NORRFLY are (35, 42, 55, 67, 92cm variations) The shocking IKEA webpages have absolutely no details ? The accompanying TRADFRI transformers are rated at either 10W and 30W. So I need to work out what is thge max load on each transformer.

[@DavidWilson-ng1lv]

Thanks so much, very helpful ☺️

[@lukpascal]

Two sides stick tape,quite strong 😅😁anyway very good video.thanks

[@lululuxxxx]

Great help, thanks! Does anybody know if that system works also without the doors? If I can just simply leave them "on" and switch them with the remote control.

[@PPFlatPack]

Yes it would work you can switch them off even without remote control. There is small switch on off and auto.

[@Lakedidnoweonf]

You’re doing gods work. Thanks a lot, it was very helpful!

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching

[@graybeard3291]

You could drill a small hole on the edge of the shelf right next to the light fixture and then run the cable through and around the top side of the shelf where it cant be seen

[@evelyncheng3428]

I am thinking of getting the ikea wardrobe without the door. Would the sensor work still?

[@PPFlatPack]

No it will not work but still there is manual switch but is it bit annoying to switch that on and of every time you want to use the wardrobe.

[@Lexeus3]

In this video, what size are the wardrobes? Are they 75/150cm???

[@filcandiy]

nice very detail work but where you hide those wire conection feed ? did you run and install an outlet inside or behind to plug it in

[@AH-wc6jg]

What do you recommend if the light stays on constantly? Even when on auto mode, it just stays on. Even if I put my fingers over the sensor, it just stays on constantly if it’s on auto mode. Thanks.

[@EM-kx7ox]

Hi, how do I remove it from the wardrobe? I am using strong force to pull it off, but the light is just not moving … any help? Thanks

[@Edmontdantes87]

similar issue here!

[@mattetor6726]

Same!

[@gumermail]

Hi! Can I connect wireless omlopp driver with wireless ikea motion sensor?

[@mattetor6726]

I need to now as well. I need to replace mine. Did you figure it out? Best regards!

[@debracampbell3273]

Love your videos ! I only have an outlet behind where the pax will be. Do you have any pictures how it would look after cutting a hole in the back of the pax to get to the outlet ? Im worried how it will look and how to actually do it ???

[@PPFlatPack]

Sorry don't have video on this topic but will do one when I get across this. Thank you for watching.

[@Mercury4952]

Thank's for a great instruction!!! Just what I needed.

[@PPFlatPack]

[@hogie13eire86]

Thank you so much for making this simple and easy, instructions can be very confusing sometimes.

[@hernaciusxiau3565]

hi. followed your guide to assemble 3 set of lamp on 3 wardrobe unfortunately the auto switch not working on all lamp.what should i do? the lamp could turn on when i set the switch to on. but when i switch to auto cannot turn on when i open the wardrobe

[@matthewmcdonald8227]

how is there room behind the closet to move the wires - isn't the closet installed flush to the wall?

[@PPFlatPack]

Even if you don’t have skirting board you can take wires out before you mount wardrobe to the wall it will be just small gap (thickness of the wire) if you take wire out on the middle will be invisible on the sides

[@SaraSerraoEvans]

Can i still use these lights if i dont have doors, i would like to use the remote control instead. Is that possible? Do i just leave it on ON and use the remote control?

[@k_stopa]

Yes

[@k_stopa]

You can use any Trådfri remote control. There are few of them and all od them have the same functions

[@Hknewyorker]

Where is plug point need to be kept

[@paddawahn1986]

HOW REMOVE THE LIGHTS? :(

[@markgriffiths6405]

Can these be used on the standard hinged pax wardrobe doors?

[@PPFlatPack]

Yes

[@JSchage]

Would you recommend installing the lights before the sliding doors?

[@PPFlatPack]

You can do it before or after doors no obstructions there. If you attaching the wardrobe to the wall install lights before that. So possibly before doors for easier positioning less weight on the wardrobe without the door if you need to move little from the wall just to take wires out from the back of the wardrobe.

[@danasamu5404]

Is there a trick to doing this if your wardrobes are installed wall to wall (i.e. with no spaces on the sides of the wardrobes), and a very small gap between the top and the ceiling)? Or should lighting be installed before installing the cabinets in this case? Thank you!

[@PPFlatPack]

Sure just put the wires in before you push pax frames in the small space you can install the lights on the positioned shalves

[@danasamu5404]

@@PPFlatPack Thank you! Makes perfect sense. I don't yet know how the insides of my cabinets will be configured and hence if/where I will need illumination, so I can't pre-install wiring unfortunately.

[@rhitrix]

I'm currently doing my own closet. It's a large walk-in. All PAX. Corner pieces, both short-hang and long-hang, both deep and shallow cabinets, lots of drawers and trays, lots of shoe storage, etc. It's about 45 linear feet of PAX closet cabinets. The ceilings in my closet are just about 8-feet high, which leaves about 3-4 inches above the PAX cabinets once they're stood up. Every single shelf has Norrfly lighting. I had an electrician come in and install dual outlets at the top of each wall, connected to the light switch to the room, so that when I flip on the closet lights, all the IKEA lighting also turns on (once plugged in). Once my wife decided where she wanted all the shelves, drawers, etc., I came in and installed each Norrfly LED strip. The cable is routed under the shelf to a small drilled hole in the back just under the shelf. The cable is taped to the shelf using a matte white tape, so you can't see it (i.e., it blends in). I've debated sawing a shallow channel into the IKEA shelves to nest the cable into the shelf and taping over that so it's completely flush. That's still TBD. Once the cable goes out the back of the cabinet, I pull it over the top and to the front where I make all the connections. Once that is done, I zip-tie cables and then put everything on top of the cabinets toward the back. It's out of sight but still accessible if necessary. Good luck!

[@MegaShabzy]

With the items sold differently to I need to buy more lots of them when I’ve bought 3 lots of the Norrfly LED lights

[@jono601]

is it possible to install lights on very top? will the soft close damper interfere with the lights?

[@PPFlatPack]

Yes you have for it plastic includes in the box so you have options if you want to go on the top. Question is if you have shelves under it will block the light

[@jono601]

@@PPFlatPack thanks for helping confirm. I was thinking to either get another light attached to the shelf as well as the top. Or get glass shelves so the light filters through. Your videos are a life saver. Just built the pax closet yesterday myself and it was not a easy build.

[@SuperBulldog03]

Thank you. Very useful video, well explained.

[@PPFlatPack]

Thank you for watching

[@seb69f]

Hello, what is the height (under ceiling) of the room where you made this assembly? for the same type of Pax structure with sliding door, I have a ceiling height of 2.37 meters. Does this assembly seem possible to you with this height? Thank you !

[@Stan_the_Belgian]

thank you, helpful, though I will put the wire on the top of the shelve so it is out of the way.

[@zednes2065]

I need help with the clothing rail ikea mirror pax wardrobe

[@zednes2065]

I lost the screws, i dunno which to use for clothing rod

[@twinpawer]

Thanks for the video :) What exactly do you have to buy to make this work? Do you need the Tradfri driver for wireless control too? I would like to fix the light such that it lights up when you open the wardrobe door automatically.

[@danieladumitrescu527]

Instruction say when you have sliding doors you need to use those extra round things that put a distance between the shelf and the norrfly light. I see it works without that? Norrfly installed directly on the shelf?! Thanks

[@PPFlatPack]

If you go on the top panel and you have sliding doors use the spacers. If you go under the shelve you not need to use the plastic spacer.

[@danieladumitrescu527]

PP FlatPack that makes sense. Thank you for clarifying...

[@Ephixknighter]

can you just put the switch it on to "on", and always have the lights on? (Neglecting the sensor in the middle?)

[@PPFlatPack]

Yes there is option to have it always on

[@luigibiagetti8138]

Thanks for your videos. Recently put a pax corner unit and a few others together. One question..I installed a Norfly light in the 100cm section but it wont auto off. Anytntips why it isn’t turning off? The other lights are working fine. Thanks!

[@PPFlatPack]

The door is too far from the sensor easy fix put few layers of dark tape over the sensor and it will work fine.

[@PPFlatPack]

I have same issue before unfortunately didn't record that but it works with the tape on sensor.

[@luigibiagetti8138]

@@PPFlatPack thanks. The tape on the Norfly wasn’t working...it only worked with the tape hanging in front it...not actually over the sensor. Just in case someone else has the issue. And it would be the sensor without the door in front of it.

[@ClusterPos]

Molto utile e molto rilassante. Grazie

[@chantalmassicotte3934]

I'm about to install mine. I think I might install the lights before securing the unit to the wall. Has anybody done it that way?

[@PPFlatPack]

You can do it before just take the wires out from the back and leave them on the top than you can attach wardrobe to the wall

[@tommytomtomtomestini3894]

Hanging the cable like that looks terrible... Just make a tiny cutout on the shelf just where the cable goes into the fixture, then route the cable on top of the shelf instead where you cannot see it.

[@MonkeyMD3]

I think the reason he did that is that's a usable shelf and you are more likely to damage it by putting things on the shelf than if it is run underneath like he did. Agreed though that it would be nice to have a more appealing wiring solution. Maybe IKEA could have a specific shelf with a groove for the wiring.

[@DaytonaHills]

Can this be added to the komplement glass shelf?

[@jono601]

Can you install the lights below IKEA’s glass shelves? I know you can do it for the regular wooden ones as you have demonstrated in this video. Thanks!

[@Stan_the_Belgian]

I would glue it in that case.

[@Shihid282]

I installed with double tape

[@DivineTai]

Thank you 👍🏽

[@jessicahutchinson1170]

Hi will be installing these soon but the plug socket will be behind the wardrobe would it be ok to cut a small square out of the back of the mdf on the wardrobes and plug the lights in, inside the wardrobe at the bottom say? This way i dont have to have the socket moved and wires are out of site. Thanks

[@PPFlatPack]

I do that often just cut at the back of the wardrobe where is the socket and you will have access from inside wardrobe if need. Small holes just for the electric plugs no problem for the structure of the wardrobe.

Great advert not to buy IKEA. If you are going to bother to install lighting in your wardrobe at least try to do a decent job of it. Wires hanging everywhere for you to see and for clothes and hangers to snag. The diffuser on the lights doesn't do a decent job and the lighting is no uniformed, so you get that patchy LED strip bright/dull running all the way along. Apart from that, great video
