I was at Ikea yesterday. The Dioders they had left were warm white only and different kinds of Ledberg. There was a strip light reel but they didn't have it plugged in so you could test it.

I've been ask by several collectors if I could do a quick tutorial on how I install and hide my Ikea Dioder Lights. Here's a quick video and hope this helps:

My local Ikea finally opening next month! Can’t wait to get some more detolfs and dioders.

I have all my dioders plugged into one power strip. Can you just plug a power strip into the wireless adapter or is there a load limit? Trying to figure out how many wireless adapters I need.

Hey Jedijim, yes you can plug the power strip into the zap adapter. So if all your dioder lights are plugged into 1 power strip, you'll just seen 1 adapter and the controller. I bought the set of 5 because I can use it for other things around the house, like to power on/off lamps and fans.

Awesome! Thank you.

Is Sahmez Lights not around anymore? They still have the facebook page but not much activity in the past year or so. They looked to be a great option for the Detolfs and cheap too.

I just picked up some Dioder lights and see that the cord that goes from the hub to the light is relatively short. Anyone know how I can get an extension for a individual light to allow long cord length?

I want to get some lights for a shelf to light my 1:6 figures from above with some soft white light. I'm wondering about adding some type of RGB light to add some colored light, like perhaps some red light to storm troopers and Vader. Anyone have any thoughts on doing this? Should I just stick to white light?

Thanks.

If you are handy you can build your own LED light strip and use tunable white LEDs, this allows you to tune the color temperature to achieve the exact look you like instead of being stuck with 2700, 3000, 5000 K temperatures.
