Lighting IKEA Billy's With Ikea Norrfly

[@jairusdolnaq]

Guys, this was REALLY helpful. Thanks! I added some of these to my larger cabinets a few months ago, then just did my Billy's over the weekend. One thing I did differently was only penetrated the back of the cabinet twice - under the top shelf and under the other fixed shelf. On the removable shelves, I cut a small notch in the corner to allow the wires through. I know you would not do it that way because of your dioramas, but I did this to allow my shelves to go up or down in the future, just in case. Used the two-sided stickers that the NORRFLY came with to make sure the wires are tucked neatly in the corner. Thanks again!

Best Most Useful Video put out for us collectors, and especially with Billy bookcase being the ones that many of us use. Thanks guys.

Your Star Wars displays are a pleasure to look at Mr. Skullface, they are one of the best if not the best private Star Wars displays I've ever seen, congratulations.

[@kpprivate1]

I've just done this for a whisky collection, using the 80cm wide Billy with the Oxlade doors, and two 67cm wide Norrfly, one for the top, one for the fixed shelf halfway down, and replacing the four moveable shelves with Billy glass shelves so the light shines down through the shelves. It looks fantastic. Thanks for the tip to go in the Norrfly direction.

[@zarnistastudios]

Absolutely Amazing!!! Well done. I display mine in a diorama settings as well and have been looking for a professional solution. Thank you, your wife for getting them and your friend for showing us the way.

[@mark4flair376]

Looking good mack!

[@BertoGamingLatino]

This is amazing, I loved the dioramas. Genius

[@slaysian415]

These lights are discontinued 😭 are there another options with similar adapters.

[@Ianorig]

Beautiful! Friends are awesome.

[@brandonkeisler86]

Wow that's beautiful. Definitely worth the work. Great job 👍

[@Malachi57]

I so badly want to do this with mine. Thanks for sharing!

[@leyenda6149]

You got some really cool isht

[@UnknownMike89]

Wow this is awesome! I admire collectors SO much

[@michaelhealy1000]

Hot damn! This seems so much easier then what you had to do for your last setup. Im so excited to get myself some new lights, and get this going for myself. Thank you for sharing!

[@littledutch7549]

A few months from now I am moving into a new house, and I will give my TF collection a better place in a few new Billy's. This lighting advise video could not have come at a better time.

[@DeoLuvr69]

Hey uhh u should give em to me🙃 if you don’t have no one else in mind

[@Vincent-396]

A very helpful, and informative, video. Those dioramas are just stunning! Wow! Most impressive.

[@frankmarzig1972]

Amazing lighting!

[@UpFromTheDepths]

Gonna buy some Billy's and eventually give the whole lighting thing a try for my Godzilla Mecha and Transformers shelves! Thanks for the tutorial Bobby!

[@rohnsparkman5466]

AWESOME well done my brother

[@steeltekki]

Happy for you!

[@DolkkarToyznstuff]

Very nice! Making me rethink my shelves! Great job, both of you!

[@LinkIsOurChampion]

I started something like this but with color lights for atmósferas for my figures. Mother said I should not destroy my brand new bookshelf… 😂 mom I bought them for this purpose 😂❤!!! I knew others would do it definitely; I am so glad it will work out 😂❤

[@DMSL2007]

Those diorama's are awesome, wish i could make that stuff.

[@SmooshGoo]

Your Diorama displays are amazing!

[@artpipe]

Impressive on camera too.

[@TimKaysNerdcrate]

This looks CRAZY good, Bobby!

[@natraid]

Stupendo!! Bel lavoro!

[@carsonedwardsjr1668]

Really insightful information. I look forward to adding this lighting to my TF/GI Joe/Star Wars/MOTU displays.

[@TransformsIntoAGuitar]

STUNNING.

[@shovelchop81bikeralex52]

Gorgeous! Great job on the dios too!

[@sean-gmcc]

Those diorama scenes are amazing. Can you do more videos showing them in more detail, and talking about how you made them? I'm mostly a Transformers guy, but dig Star Wars and Marvel too. Only been seriously collecting for about a year.

[@jameymcrandall2452]

Very nice! I might just have to do this!

[@chrisgould6069]

Nice setup Bobby Skull Face.

[@clint5724]

Super dope!

[@astartespete]

Looks fantastic man

[@jifdog]

Awesome, I am picking up a few billy's to replace the shelves I am currently using for my transformers and was intending to use the norrfly system with them. Just thought they looked cleaner then the led strips. After seeing this I know I made the correct decision. Thanks Bobby.

[@Ailura]

Thank you for this video. It was thanks to you that we chose the lightning for our Billy bookcase and also thanks to you that was super easy, barely an inconvenience to install these lights. You guys are the best! PS. Your collection and diorama are damn amazing!!

[@PaulSpurgeon]

Nice, man. Good job.

[@THEShoky]

Looked them up, its definitely one of those ikea solutions. Gotta buy all this pieces separately and at those prices. Great idea but damn! I could one Billy every couple months.

[@vanmicah]

This set up is amazing. Great stuff dude!

[@jaraxel888]

love the new lighting. seems to be aa really nice bang for buck.

[@quixoticgrims698]

Wow, looks amazing!!! I’m definitely gonna have to consider this for my room

[@victoracevedo7698]

Damn that looks GREAT!!!! I wish that was something feasaable I could do....

[@austintheng]

This is a perfect video.. I was wondering how to set it up and which led lights to get for my Besta.. Thanks for this video!! Really helpful! :)

[@michaelganter8952]

Damn! That looks good!!

[@frogman7874]

Impressive most impressive 🤔 That is awesome Bobby you and joe did an amazing job. 👍🏼✌🏼

[@MosheMaserati]

They really are quite good at lighting, and look pretty clean from the front. About the only feature they are missing is a dimming switch, but I have been happy with my Norrfly from the moment I installed them.

[@patimusprime6636]

That looks amazing. Congrats, man!

[@qemuel]

Looks fantastic! Like a couple others have mentioned, we are moving into a new abode within the year and this is very useful information as I rethink my displays. Thanks for sharing!

[@Qc4073]

Thanks for the video. All I have are Billies and no lighting so far

[@destini5799]

Looks great

[@mooscrew]

I ended up buying a bunch of these for my Transformers, don't have the backdrop or the lighting. However thank you for the inspiration and the walkthrough, I am hoping to have something look at least a fraction as good as yours does here.

[@EddieNova]

Holy shit 😲 Skullface, now that is how you do it man like a boss. It looks beyond amazing and is going to make anyone appreciate their figures and dioramas a thousand times more. It looks photo ready and the whole collection just pops now, I can't keep my eyes off it. It's visauly stunning I could just go on forever just how much better it looks. It's like a museum it's a beautiful thing to take in. I can tell just how much your loving it and you should your collection is inspiring and motivating, bravo. 👏 And if your going to put that kind of money into your hobby it deserves to be displayed as such. Enjoy and take care man !!! 🖖🤖

[@dbigesby]

Incredible

[@TheJjtea]

Impressive. Better than just sticking random figurines on the shelf.

[@kronos6948]

Looks friggin sweet!! I need to switch mine out. I'll have to do mine over time though, as I can't see dropping a grand on lights in one fell swoop.

[@cubsgo23]

This is fucking insane. Well done!

[@Matunahelper]

You ever think of getting some sheets of plexiglass (cut to size) and Velcro strips to attach them on the front of the Billy’s to create an enclosed display? I did that to one of my bookshelves and it works pretty well.

[@squallreviews788]

Damn, that looks amazing! I am totally going this route when I move to my new house!

[@ValentineToybox]

Frickin Sweet!!!!

[@sk1ppman]

Protip: Get some braided wire loom (preferable black) and put that around the wires running from the LED strip to the back of the shelf and it will help hide that white cable.

[@geewunder1171]

Look awesome man, once you get the tf's done do another crib video!

[@understandingsowerby9959]

How were the wires run?

[@mmartinez9342]

Wow! Big difference. Looks amazing, congratulations!;

[@epia125]

I used the norrfly in my pax wardrobe, they are great and if you get the tradfri hub you can control them via hue essentials. The main downside to me is they don't offer rgb.

[@impossiblepie]

Looks great, picking white bookcases might help even more , I find collectibles seem to disappear when sitting on black or dark book cases.

[@loso8393]

Have you change your lighting or has this been working well still?

[@pandamant666]

How the censer works on the billy

[@waynekremer1649]

So how do you protect your diarama scenes from dust?

[@DnycAlchemist]

Got dam that set up looks beautiful, I'm not even into the black series stuff but am a big star wars fan. Thinking now on possibly getting into it. Let's see how 2020 plays out. Great video bobby truly impressed

[@jhen8900]

Nice! Do they dim at all? If so how much it seems like hell to replace

[@braker3961]

What brand wall outlet control did you use?

[@Delanoftw]

How do you deal with dust between al your figures? Really need a way to deal with this.

[@hightimecollectibles]

what risers are you using for your ikea detolfs?

[@aarongrove4744]

Warm lights make all the difference! I wonder if they make partial diffuser Shields for those lights?

[@williehenrybaxtoniii1808]

daaaannng Skully, that's a lottt of Hot Toys mac.... (recalls old school Skully sayin he'll never get Hot Toys)

[@Chris_Davis_music]

Sad to say that the Norrfly is being discontinued. I'm not sure if its replacement will be suitable but time will tell.

[@NicolasWithNoH]

This is amazing What shelves are the ones with the wider dioramas? Billy from Ikea without the doors installed?

[@robodobro]

Do the wires come in black?

[@bojackkatarn]

Do you think a Norrfly is bright enough light up a Pax display, i.e. depth of 22" and height of 20" to 24"?

[@teletizzle]

Nice! Are you getting the same lights for your IKEA Detolf Transformers case next?

[@Ghjgfjjgv]

Are these black series figures?

[@kraddoomsters]

Just a heads up, norffly is discontinued

[@edwinyi7064]

Damn your lights look way whiter than mine. Mine turned out looking yellow :(

[@getonmanuttz]

Thanks for the insomnia upload!

[@getonmanuttz]

Just curious, but is there a website you recommend for diorama stuff?

[@MythsAndHeroes]

Getonmanuttz my patreon :) we show how to do it there

[@Kashif314]

Some norrflys are white and some are yellowish. They come in different colors?

[@leoalpha7]

Anybody stumbling upon this after the Norrfly has been discontinued, Ikea has another light system called the Oversidan. Its intended to light a wardrobe but it has a screw in mounting option that can be used on the bottom of the shelves of a Billy. Just be sure to grab the correct size to fit your shelf as well as a power hub and power supply cable.

[@VII-1-VIII]

Where can i get a norrfly????

[@RiederProductions]

Nice video. I have a question... The small Billy I can buy here is 36cm wide, but the Norrfly in Ikea is 42cm wide. Does Ikea have diffent ones in america?

[@M3reviewsDJD]

perfect sir

[@AgtWashingtub]

One may say, "Thats fucking lit"

[@joemontana7771]

Are these norrflys 67cm or 92cm?

[@redguyver951]

Do they have a comparable light system for the detolf shelves ?

[@MythsAndHeroes]

redguyver951 kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2W1dXeBd86rpa8

[@Gree187]

Still waiting for an ikea to open in my area . Had there been one here, my collection would be so much more presentable.

[@IsrafelAcerezor]

The Better Home and Gardens brand that WalMart carries has some offerings that are exact copies of Ikea's shelves. For example, the Cube Organizers are exact copies of the Kallax series of shelves. I haven't looked through all their bookcases, but perhaps they have a decent facsimile.

[@jamesburr25]

Mr Skullface, your overall display is spectacular, very impressive. From previous videos you have mentioned many times your preference for Billy’s for transformers displays, and using the Detolf for your Hot Toys display. What is your reason for this....is it worth a video on this topic? Also are tour Billy’s fixed for the wall? Thanks

[@tacitnova9164]

Did you consider using double sided tape/magnetic strips/velcro to mount the lights instead of drilling holes and brackets? Looks great regardless.

[@walterraniolo4327]

For sure helps when you have a smart Asian man there to help..... that is not racism, just a testament to the people of the grater Asia area.

[@jifdog]

You need another hub. The hubs are rated at 30w each, the lights you have are 5w each for the big and 2.5w each for the small. That's 75w going through what is rated for 60w.

[@Normonaut]

Looks great! Are the dioramas home made or bought? They bring a ton of flair to the displays

[@trevormcguire6984]

Those are some great displays! I'm new to the channel, just wondering where your dios come from?

[@AgtWashingtub]

Uncle Skully makes them himself.
