45 degree mounts for Ikea Dioder strip lights and replacement connector for a repurposed Ikea Dioder connector. Instructions Lights Use two light strips from an Ikea Dioder strip light set ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/txoof/6675018633 ) Print six 45 degree mounts - you will only need two per light, but they may crack as you add the screws Mount one light on the left and right inside corners using hot glue. Route the wire through the left and right front holes Mount a Clas Ohlson LED Spot Light on the bottom of the Z Stage ( http://www.clasohlson.co.uk/Product/Product.aspx?id=162502340 ). The Clas Ohlson light connector is compatible with the Ikea connectors. Route the wires through the back right corner into the base. Power Snip off the Ikea power connector leaving ~30cm of wire. Wire the connector into a 12V rail (yellow +, Black ground). Note the polarity of the power connector wires by checking the Ikea wall-wart with a multi meter Replacement Connector You should have a perfectly good 12V wall-wart with a great switch left over and probably a few spare light strips. Make a replacement connector using this thing. Print out the box Use proto board (20mmx31mm) to make a simple circuit with all three pin headers in parallel with the power supply. Note the polarity of the wall-wart and your headers. The box will hold the proto board in a sandwich. Plug it in and test it.
