What happens here
To integrate the LED lighting, perform an electrical rough-in. First, mark the location for an in-wall light switch and cut a hole in the drywall. Use a fish tape to run 18-gauge, 2-wire LED light wire from an existing power outlet up through the wall to the shelves. Wire the new light switch (dimmer) by pigg-backing off the existing outlet's power source, making sure to follow all local electrical codes and safety guidelines.
Goal: Install an in-wall dimmer switch by tapping into an existing outlet's power and running LED wires through the wall using a fish tape.
