    Under bed storage lights.

    Hey everyone, we have a 2800bh and use the under bed storage in the bedroom with totes for the kids clothes. Well, this weekend while searching for clothes, I realize that a under cabinet light of some sort would be nice to have. I think it would easy to mount under the bed but question would be how tough and where to tap into the the electrical system. Any thoughts or ideas? Maybe just adding an outlet in that space and get the plug in style lights would be a more versatile way? TIA

    Hello,
    Perhaps a battery style with light sensor would be easier? I have a couple in my pantry. When you open the door the light comes on.

    HTH,

    I thought about those, and yes definitely easier. But it would be nice to not have to worry about batteries.

    It's been a couple of years and I still haven't had to replace them yet.

    Battery powered LED lights will go a couple years without needing to change batteries. Much simpler than running wire IMO. Good luck.

    Thought I replied but I don't see it so let's try this again.

    The back of the under bed storage backs up to the pass thru. I removed the walls in the pass thru while working on my hanging shelf in there and reattached with screws. I would get power from inside the service center or from the lights in the pass thru. Would be pretty easy. I want to add lights in side the closets. Thinking of doing LED strips. Would love to get power from the reading lights over the beds but will probably end up getting it from the pass thru area and coming up through the drawer.

    Camper Dude: I did some work on my bedroom upper cabinet and the large inside panel of the cabinet is only held in place with some small staples and the poorly install corner molding along the front edge of the cabinet. You can catch a corner and pull up on it and it will come loose exposing the wiring for the cabinet lights. That would get you power for the hanging shelf area.
