Tag Archive: Ikea Dioder


Exactly a month ago on the Memorial Day weekend, I started that Ikea Detolf Dioder Project in which I have finally managed to install the much needed lighting system to my Ikea Detolf, however, I left a vital part of the project unfinished on that day – to manage the exit wiring harness.

I really didn’t know what to do at that time, first each of the Dioder has the exact length power cable toward the transformer, meaning by the time the I finish routing the cables inside the Detolf, the exit wire length would be different for each of the cable.  See the power adapter hanging in the middle of the air?  Just bloody awful looking >.>;

Today, I would like to bring you another edition of Otaku Project, which is more or less a continuation of the last project Ikea Dioder Cable Management.  During the last project, I decided to finally clean up the wiring mess that has been hiding behind my entertainment center for better part of one year; and by the end of the project, I was able to clean up that whole mess and organized it into a manageable form, mission accomplished!  However, the victory was short lived, I soon realized that I really wanted more than 6 outlets to be controlled by one outlet strip so I decided to stop by HomeDepot to shop for a new outlet strip.  As I was browsing through the whole selection of outlet strips, big and small, something really caught my attention.  The Belkin Conserve Surge Protector with Remote Switch.

With the growing number of Ikea Dioder being deployed in my room, so as the wire management nightmare that comes with it.  I am not sure how other people manage the wiring of their Ikea Dioder, were they hidden behind some cabinet and never to be seen?  Well for me, I need to turn off the dioder at night so I get can to sleep easily so the outlet strip is in a fairly visible location so I can turn it off with a single switch; but the wire mess that has grown over time has finally broke the last straw on me.  I have decided to clean it up with some cable management product.

The following picture is the wire mess before the clean up.

Today is another very productive day in the Memorial Day weekdend.  I finally got myself together to complete the Detolf Dioder project that I have been putting off for months.  Unlike the current trend in the figurine collectors community, I have not been a huge fan of the Ikea Detolf due to it’s inability to adjust shelf height, and therefore, inefficient use of the precious little space that I have in my room (notice the huge empty space above the figurines above the 2nd shelf?).  However, I do have a Detolf in the little corner of my room where it’s most suitable and I have finally decided to put the Ikea Dioder strip on it.
