Anyone who has a DETOLF

[urbanfreddy]

I wanted to share this with you guys, I went to Home Depot on a mission to get more lighting on my DETOLF display cases and i saw these sylvania DOT. IT LED lights and decided to give them a try. check them out.

Does it come with sticker on the back?
you just stick and use?

looks good but the light is not sufficient??

 

[urbanfreddy]

Yes it come with the sticker on the back.i like led because it wont damage the piece, i have a Gi joe statue and the track lite i had faded the top of his head.

Cool, how much do these cost? And do they run on batteries or maybe fairy dust?

 

[Customikey]

I've got these myself. They run a little under $18 each. They run on three Triple A's. Just unscrew the back and the batteries are there. The bad side ias that the stickiness dies a little every time you replace the batteries. I circumvented this by attaching magnets to the backing and to wherever I want them to be placed. Very convenient! I used the magnets from the Star Wars packaging. They're perfect.

WOW. that looks really awesome, looks like I will have to make a trip to home depot.

 

[twistedfreak]

I think I may have to get one or two for myself...

i just got back from my home depot and they said they were sold out and very rarely get any...and when they do it is random. HD's website has them though.

Wow, if you were to buy four of these (one for each shelf) it costs more than the Detolf itself. LOL

Having said that, I think I'll pick a couple up and see how they look. Thanks for the tip urbanfreddy.

I would love to get one of those but I would be fearful of the glue giving out.

Hey guys, try Bed Bath and Beyond for these as well. They have one that attaches via velcro. The back of it just snaps in place and holds really well. I purchased and used one while in Iraq and it worked really well for what I used it for, which was as a back up light for power outages. The ones that they sell run about $10.00 and have two brightness settings. Just push the center to turn it on.

I also recently saw some smaller ones there that come 3 to a pack for under cabinet lighting that should work just as well. These were $10.00 as well.

I have a quick question for those who own the Detolf cabinets. I have been thinking about picking a couple of them up, but I am also working on some customized displays. What are the interior dimensions for the shelves? I am talking about the length and width of the glass shelves, as I am working on a custom LOTR display base, and I want to make sure it will fit inside the cabinet on a Detolf glass shelf. Any measurements of length and width of the glass shelves would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I'll get some meaurements for you later on today if no one beats me too it.

I know that they are roughly 15" tall, but sure about the width; but they are square (I think it is about 15" as well).

Here they are straight from the IKEA website:

If you think they won't fit, try the SKOGEN. They are bigger in width:

I use the Detolfs for my 12" figures and the Skogens for my PF's.

 

[dekadentdave]

Wish I could order a few Detolf's but shipping is $215 per unit! OUCH!

 

[Seaward]

Cool, thanks for all the help everybody. I am trying to get interior measurements, as I want to make a little display field for LOTR figures. I'll scan the sketch I have worked on a little later and post my idea for a sorta non-descript Middle Earth Base, and if this works, I might make part of the floor of Jabba's palace as well as the BBQ spit behind him. I still have to buy supplies, but the pink foam sheets at home depot are huge, and I didn't want to overbuy.

Very cool lights, I'll have to get a couple for my Detolf.
