From time to time I receive questions about simple wiring options for roomboxes and other container-type displays. One of my favorite options is a battery pack and LED strips or ribbons. Today, I'm illustrating a quick application using these items in my quilt shop. This is not an official installation as I wanted to just demonstrate how well the system works. Heck I just laid the LED strip on top of the Plexiglas top so you could see the illumination. The roombox is about 15" x 11" and I used just one 6" LED strip, the 12-volt (8 AA) battery holder with lead-in/plug and a mini power connector. If I were doing a proper installation, I would conceal the wires and run them out through the back with the LED strip either attached to the "ceiling" or the front wall and concealed or integrated into the design so that it does not detract from the display. Check out the pictures to get an idea what I'm talking about.
