What happens here

Based on the tape layout, cut holes in the drywall at designated points for electrical access. Use an 18-gauge wire (the video mentions using fish tape to pull the wire) to route the LED lighting connections. The plan is to create three or four separate 'drivers' or circuits to power sections of the LEDs, utilizing existing power sources behind the wall. This ensures a clean, concealed wiring solution for the integrated lighting.

Goal: Run 18-gauge wires through strategically cut holes in the drywall to connect the planned LED lighting for the shelves.

Tools and materials

going to do it. I got my fish tape. I have my 18 gauge wire. I think I'm going to break it down into like three or four different drivers. Uh, punch a hole there. Use that power source. Run this section of the wall. Do the same here. Run it up there. Do one there and then one on this back wall. And if you're thinking, "Well, dummy, why did you already paint it? If you're going to have to cut holes in a drywall, well, cuz I needed like a day to process how I'm going to lay this all out." And I decided to, well, instead of wasting time, let's just at least start painting. Touch-ups are going to be easier. So, that's how I'm thinking. I'm real a real problem. So, this is how I'm going to do it.
