As much as I like some of the ikea led lighting I really don't like all the cords. Plus their plugs are so big it isn't easy to plug into an outlet and have a case right in front of the outlet. Costco has these new puck led lights that are wirelessly controlled. Each uses 3 AAA batteries. You can adjust the brightness and put them on a timer to shut them off. Only downfall is having to put in new batteries whenever they die. $20 for 6 lights.

Loving your non-Detolf shelves. Would you provide info on them? Also love your lighting upgrade. Hate wires. Such a clean, uncluttered display! Rated the thread 5 stars.

Can't recall the name but they came from IKEA.

I don't know yet. Just put them in. Also depends on the level of brightness. It has preset levels of 100, 80, 40, and 10 percent

Great collection, pretty much how I envision my display once all is said and done.. minus the Star Wars, not because I don't like it, just because it would get out of hand. I love how you have your Bowens sectioned off... I need to get some of those risers, are they from amazon?

Also, as far as those LED pucks from Costco, I had some and they looks great but I found they do die pretty fast. And to put batteries in all of them isn't cheap. I think each one takes 3 triple A batteries?

Some of the risers I bought on eBay and some I made myself.
