Step 1: Choose your lighting

Let your bookshelf shine with our atmospheric cupboard lighting! Not only does it illuminate the bookshelf, but it also brings a magical atmosphere to the entire room. Our integrated lighting casts a cozy light on the inside of your cabinet, giving each shelf a warm and inviting ambiance. This way your books and other items get the attention they deserve.

Step 2: Choose your driver

With the help of a TRÅDFRI driver you can switch your IKEA lighting on and off as well as dim it. Choose the driver that suits your lighting by adding up the wattages of your lamps. You can choose from a driver for a maximum of 10 watts up to 3 connections and 30 watts up to 9 connections.

Step 3: Choose your connecting cables

You then need a FÖRNIMMA connection cable from your TRÅDFRI driver to the socket. The FÖRNIMMA connection cable is 3.5 m so that you always find the right solution.

Step 4: Choose your remote control

The last step is choosing a remote control. This makes operating your smart lighting super easy. With the remote control you are ready to control the lighting in your entire bookcase with one push of a button. Turn the lighting on and off, dim it for the right atmosphere, or make it brighter for a better overview when you need it. Your bookcase has never been so attractive.

Tip: Control your lighting right from the couch by connecting the TRADFRI driver to your IKEA Home Smart network!
