Another LED lighting upgrade.

As there have been a number of threads about using LED strips recently, I am posting these pictures of one of our upgrades using a left-over strip of the white LED lights. Power is from the bedside lamp, with a switch and a short wire added. Small wire runs up the wall from lamp to shelf, and is hidden with a short strip of white tape. We really like this because it is soft light, that can be left on when we are away with no fear of overheating.
Note: wire on right side hanging over is for my CPAP that sits on the shelf. Has nothing to do with lights. Edit by NEJ

    It looks like it came from the factory that way. Nice!
