LED Closet Lighting

Our System

1. Pick a strip that works for you - We recommend the White Iris Series, first in the list above. To eliminate spotting use the White Lily COB Strip, for colored light, use the RGB Strelitzia Series, which has a wide range of colors and temperatures, or the RGBW Hibiscus Series, which is perfect for any occasion.
2. Choose a channel - For a clean and modern look, use the Begtin12 or Berlin profile. They will give you a smooth and aesthetic surface to recess the lighting channel into your closet or furniture. To angle the light back onto the under-shelf consider the Cabi12. 
   
3. Select the correct power supply - The PSU is perfect for indoor lighting applications that will not be exposed to any moisture. First, ensure you choose the voltage that matches your strip, this is either 12V or 24V. Then select the variant with a sufficient power output (wattage). Read this article for help choosing the correct PSU, or contact us for expert support! 
4. Build your light fixture - Now that you have all the components you can put together a complete light fixture. Contact us and we'll happily do this for you in the warehouse!
5. Use Accessories - Our motion sensor ensures efficient operation by automatically turning lights on and off based on movement, reducing energy consumption and enhancing security. Use the battery-operated Motion Paul for quick control and the Casambi basicDIM Wireless Bluetooth Motion Sensor for wireless lighting control.

LED Closet Lighting: Illuminate Your Wardrobe with Style 

Proper closet lighting is essential for both functionality and aesthetics. A well-lit closet not only makes it easier to find your clothes but also enhances the overall look of your space. Choosing the right lighting can transform a dark, cluttered closet into a bright, organized, and inviting area.

Wired4signs USA offers high-quality LED lighting solutions that are perfect for illuminating your closet, making it a stylish and efficient space. Our LED Closet Lighting ensures you can clearly see your clothing and accessories, making it easier to choose the perfect outfit. We offer a variety of energy-efficient LED lighting options that emit minimal heat, making them ideal for tight spaces. Many of our LED lights can also be controlled via remote or smartphone app for added convenience. 

Why Use LED Closet Lighting? 

LED closet lighting offers a modern and efficient solution for illuminating storage spaces, ensuring you can easily find items and maintain an organized closet. These lights provide a bright, clear illumination that enhances visibility, making it easier to distinguish between colors and fabrics. Unlike traditional lighting, LEDs turn on instantly, providing immediate light without any flickering or warm-up time, ensuring you can access your closet efficiently.

One of the significant benefits of LED closet lighting is its energy efficiency. LEDs consume significantly less electricity compared to incandescent or fluorescent lights, leading to lower energy bills. This energy efficiency does not come at the cost of brightness, as LEDs produce a higher quality of light while using less power. Moreover, the long lifespan of LEDs means you won't need to replace bulbs frequently, reducing maintenance efforts and costs.

LED closet lights also generate minimal heat, making them a safer option for enclosed spaces. This feature not only reduces the risk of fire hazards but also keeps your closet cool, protecting sensitive fabrics from potential heat damage. Additionally, LEDs are available in various color temperatures, allowing you to choose the perfect lighting ambiance for your closet. Whether you prefer a warm, cozy glow or a bright, daylight-like illumination, LED lights can cater to your specific preferences.

Installing LED closet lighting is typically straightforward, with many options designed for easy DIY installation. Strip lights, and motion-activated lights are popular choices, offering flexibility in how you illuminate your space. Motion-activated LED lights are particularly convenient, automatically turning on when the closet door opens and off when it closes, ensuring you never leave the light on accidentally.

LED strip lights are a fantastic choice for closet lighting due to their flexibility and ease of installation. They can be easily mounted on shelves, under cabinets, or along the edges of your closet. This type of lighting offers a sleek, modern look and is highly customizable to fit any space. 

To maximize the impact of your LED strips, consider using our high-quality LED channels. These channels not only protect the strips but also provide a polished finish, enhancing both functionality and aesthetics.

2. Recessed LED Lighting

Recessed lighting provides a sleek, modern and clean look appearance by embedding the light fixtures into the ceiling. This type of lighting is ideal for achieving a clean and uncluttered look in your closet.

Recessed LED lights are designed to distribute light evenly across the space, reducing shadows and ensuring every corner of your closet is well-lit. Available in various styles and finishes, recessed lighting can be tailored to match your closet’s decor.
