How to Install a Grundtal Light in an Ikea Cabinet
Ikea sells furniture and home accessories in its stores around the globe. Ikea sells its furniture in knocked-down form, and the purchaser must assemble it. This enables the company to sell its items at lower cost and enables the customer to haul the items home in their own car. Ikea also sells lighting and accessories, such as the Grundtal light fixture. The Grundtal light mounts unobtrusively on Ikea curio cabinets and is perfect for illuminating your items for display.

Tips & Warnings
The light cord receptacle has its own power cord and foot switch. You can connect each Grundtal light fixture -- up to four -- to the receptacle and turned on at the same time with the foot switch. You can use the Grundtal fixture as a stand-alone without the receptacle by plugging its cord into the power cord extension (included) until it snaps into place, then plug the power cord into the wall.
