Was gifted some old lights that were designed to be stuck into holes in wood. Didn’t want to drill holes that big into my kitchen cabinets, so I designed and printed these holders that can be screwed to the cabinets and hold the lights. Also the lights are surrounded by it, so they don’t glare. Here are the results:

Combined it with two smart plugs, one that’s connected directly to the lights and one that sits in the socket right under the light switch. The one under the light switch is configured with a „scene“, that means if I press the little button on it, the plug connected to the lights will turn on, allowing me to use it as physical remote switch, while still being able to use the socket.

    Adhesive’s usually fail eventually.
    Screw holes can be puttied and painted over if you need to.

      Yeah the screw holes aren’t a problem, but a 3 inch diameter would be. I thought it was crazy that those lights would be sold expecting people to do that, but it turns out he’s salvaged them from a mirror.
