Affordable Rack Illumination

Sweetwater Tech Tip Check out the complete archiveClick here »

There’s nothing worse than trying to wire up an equipment rack without proper lighting. How many times have you contorted yourself behind a rack, and tried to make connections and neatly route cables while holding a small flashlight in your mouth? If you’re like us, a few too many times!

The solution: those inexpensive “stick ‘em up and go” lights that they sell at hardware stores for undercabinet lighting in kitchens. You can get battery-powered versions and AC-powered versions. Stick one up inside your equipment rack, and the next time you’re working back there, all will be revealed in the blessed illumination!

    I use a strip of white LEDs in the back of my rack, giving me plenty of light to run cables/wires and using very little power. This also eliminates the possibility of their battery dying just when I need them most. The power supply for the LEDs is plugged into the same power strip that everything else in the rack is plugged into: one plug into the wall and you have light to do any other chores behind the rack that you find necessary.
