Description
My shelving unit is in a dark hallway. I added an LED light strip, 8mm wide.
There's one triangle file that works with HDX brand shelving (Home Depot)
There's another triangle file that works with InterMetro/Metro Shelving.
To fill the 36" long shelf there are 4 L- shaped pieces (two “A” and two "B", alternating). The L shaped parts get held onto the back side of the shelf front with triangular snap-on parts.
There is no interference with items that are placed on the shelf, so you can easily slide items on and off the shelf.
After installation of the shelf components cut the 8mm LED strip to length and adhere to the bottom of the horizontal L surface.
I made a component that screws onto the vertical pole with two 12mm M4 screws and 2 M4 threaded inserts. The dimmer switch attaches to the flat with double sided tape.
