I bought an Ikea pax wardrobe at the weekend (well 2 as I damaged one beyond repair... Don't ask!) I went for the 750mm one which 50ltr rubs fit on perfect! And room at the top for my cresties exo terra and it all looks great.

I would like to put some leds at the back of each shelf to light it up a little as it looks very dull next to the lit up vivs and the exo terra tank. Just wondered if anyone else has installed lighting in a rack and if it looks any good?

Yeh, I have cut windows in all my rubs so I can see in and them out, I put the lights on the front side wall hot end so the light shine in, but do not fill the rub with light.it works for me.
