I hope this video will help you to illuminate your collection! I was super excited about how it turned out and had to share how I did it. IKEA's lighting systems have changed in the past so be sure to check the comments in case somebody has found a newer light strip or a better model to use.

The IKEA furniture I used for my collection include:
1x Billy Bookshelf

6x Oversidan 28" light bars

1x Tradfri 30W power supply

1x Ansluta power cable

1x Tradfri remote control

Prices will vary depending on the color and model you purchase but the total for this was around $285. Although the next bookshelf I buy won't cost as much since I don't need to buy the power supply and remote again, it still isn't the cheapest option available. However, considering how much money I have spent on my collection, I figured spending a little bit more on a good display would be beneficial.
