DIY LED Display Cabinet Modification Tutorial — Figure Display Upgrade

Machine-translated from Traditional Chinese
I was using an IKEA Detolf display cabinet, and after adding LEDs, the effect improved tenfold. Sharing the tutorial:

【Materials】
- LED light strip (warm white, $50-100)
- 3M double-sided tape
- Light-shielding aluminum corner profile (optional)
- USB power adapter

【Steps】
1. Clean the inner walls of the cabinet
2. Stick the light strip to the front edge of the top of each shelf
3. Route the wires along the corner to the top of the cabinet
4. Connect to USB power

The whole process takes half an hour to finish, and the effect is instantly upgraded. If you're interested, I can post Part 2 to cover mirror bases and background boards.

Figure photographers say: The color temperature of the LED has a huge impact on the photography results. It is recommended to use a warm white light of around 4000K.

Warm white light is the best choice! Cool white light will make the figure's skin tone look bluish. This tutorial is very useful.
Reading books by the light of an LED display cabinet late at night is a real pleasure. The soft light is so comfortable.
Adding LEDs to a Detolf really upgrades it instantly! I used the same method, and the effect is super nice. You can even add a dimmer to control the brightness.

Looking forward to the Part 2 tutorial on the mirror base! A mirror base can make the bottom of the figure illuminated as well.
Some figure displays in Nihon use RGB LEDs with different characters' theme colors. The effect is super cool but a bit complicated.
This tutorial should be pinned! Many figure collectors want to upgrade their display cabinets but don't know where to start.

Gundam models look even better with LEDs. Especially for kits with clear parts, once you turn the LED on, it looks like it's glowing.
Ready-made display cabinets with LEDs are usually much more expensive. DIY is indeed the most economical method.

The idea of adding a dimmer is great! I also want to control the brightness. May I ask roughly how much a dimmer costs?
The whole project can be done for $50-100, but the improvement in results is significant. It's a super high value-for-money upgrade.
I really want to try it! But I'm not very handy... is there a simpler solution? For example, buying a display cabinet that already has LEDs?
