Thanks, I couldn't figure out how to fix the lamp to the supports, the explanation in the instructions leaflet if not clear, but now I could do it thanks to you!

You're welcome!

I really needed to see this video. Thanks for making it. I could not understand how those little flanges were going to hold this light in place. Now I get it!

Perfect - the instructions just don't say enough! Thank you

I needed this video so much! It's a shame Ikea changed the design of this light, it was way easier to install and change batteries before.

Thanks! I needed this! Was thinking it wrong.

Would be helpful to see what connects where at the unlit side to hold it in place - just keeps falling off

I just installed one, but those closing clips don't close very well. The light does not mount steady at all.

Grazie!!! Stavo lanciando il led giù dal balcone prima di vedere il tuo video!! 👌🏽💪🏽

Oh very helpful video for me also, thank you very much!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Done, thanks to this video. 🙌

Man thank you so much for this! Way better than the instructions

Too much helpful thank you 👍🏻

янв 2024. А я пыталась за длинный конец зацепить))) Благодарю, прикрепила после видео за 30 секунд)))

What sensor it has? Proximity? Motion?

What is the range of these sensors? I.e. how close do they need to be mounted to the door?

Omg your king! I was ready to return these lights back to ikea. Your video help, ikea instructions make no sense

how often do you change the batteries?

I had so much trouble with the clips. Defaulted to double sided tape. When time to change the batteries I’ll figure it out somehow

Thank you very much

Any magic trick to make the automatic setting work? Simply doesn’t function for me. Have to switch on or off

Can I reverse the process where if I close the door the light must turn on?

Thank You!

I'm trying to install that light over my sink and cannot do it, I feel like the battery part is too heavy and it's not steady, every touch and it falls 😮 Clearly I'm doing something wrong cause that looks so steady!

Hey..I was wondering if the light works with bright environment such as daytime on the auto mode..

Yes it does also work with bright environment.

Hi! Does it turn on in an almost dark environment? We have a wardrobe at the end of a hallway, and there is no lamp close to it. This lamp could solve our problem : )

Yes it does.

Thank you.

can it be on always ?

Why didn't you remove the shelf before installing the lighting? It is inconvenient to install this way. The shelf is not fixed)

Thanks for pointing that out, yes that would of made the installation a lot easier :)

Is there a mode where it doesnt rely on sensor and they continuously light up ?

Yes. But they are battery powered, so I hope you have a lot of batteries and/or recharger :)

where can you buy those mounting clips? I have the lights but nothing to mount them with.

Search ikea spare parts, you can order them for free

Why doesn't the light stay on when I put it in the "on" position. After approximately 10 minutes the lights go out. Then I can put the switch off and then back on and usually it goes on but I want it on for longer. The batteries are new. Help!

@simplehomediy8888

That is strange, i just tested mine and left it in ON position more than 30 minutes and it didnt turn off by itself. Maybe try with new batteries and if that doesnt help then it has to be faulty unit, take it back to IKEA.

Instead of screwing on the mount things, could I use double sided tape to hold the light strip up? I’m renting and my current wardrobes came with my room, but they’re so dark. Just not allowed to damage the furniture 😢

Trouble with tape is you need to recharge the batteries, which involves removing the unit to access the battery compartment, which frustratingly is on the side you attach to the wall or ceiling. So tape would work as long as you don’t mind replacing it every time you recharge, which for me would be a real pain.

Is it possible to turn it on/off manually? I need it for studying :)

My lamp is randomly turning off even if i turn it on… i dont know how to fix it

The light didn't come on immediately when the right door was opened. It did once the left door was opened. Curious where the sensor is and how it is triggered. (Light, air pressure, motion?) Thanks.

@simplehomediy8888

There is a sensor in the middle of the device, just where 2 doors split. With a brighter day the light turns on with just opening one door. I suppose the sensor is just needs to detect more than a set threshold of light to turn on, it can not be adjusted.

Same thing here, before installing it was turning on my my hand but after installing it in the wardrobe, even its dark, yet not turning on- total disappointment- Chinese product from Ali Express are way better

Aha….thanks so much - got to where the light went onto the fixing, could Not work that out as the instruction/diagram was unhelpful to say the least !

Mine doesnt want to close or latch on .🤔

I installed it but the sensor isn’t working, is it because I installed it a bit far than yours?

Im using IKEA rechargeable batteries in mine and i recharge them about every 3 months. But it depends really how long u have the light on.

My lamp is turning off randomly, even if it is manually turned on. I dont know how to fix it. Can anyone help?

I just don't get one thing why outside light to be there when I open the cabinet? what if I open the cabinet in complete darkness, I feel still the cabinet light should turn on? I don't think this relies on outside light rather on close proximity sensor...

You are most likely correct when i think about it, it must use proximity sensor.

How long battery last ?

I use Ikea rechargeable batteries and they last me about 3-4 months before i need to charge them again.

Too bad it doesn't work. Bought one a while ago. The light didn't work at all on it. Returned it but took a new one. The new one worked for about two weeks. Then it stoped. Sometimes the lamp lit up if I stood and waved my hand in front of the censor. However, most of the time I had to turn it on manually. But now even that has stopped working. Changing the battery didn't help either. Swedish junk products.

Is there a teardown video for this?

J'ai l'impression qu'il faut avoir un bac +10 pour installer ce truc.. Quelle galère, ca ne tient pas

This is simply misleading and confusing, why are you marking the screw at the wrong location?
