IKEA discontinuing dioder strips? + need lighting help MyFigureCollection.net

For a lot of us collectors IKEA is our go to source for display cases and lighting for our figures.

I've been talking to another user on here back and forth and they told me their local IKEA said they are discontinuing the dioder light strips. Last time I went to IKEA about a month or two ago I noticed the strips were sold out/unavailable. I went there to get another set to put inside my detolf that already has some in it so you can imagine how disappointed I was. Looking online I've noticed too that they are also unavailable.

It seems like they are trying to go more towards the round dioder lights. I bought a set but I feel like they aren't as suited to use in a detolf than the strip lights. (Maybe the strip lights were having issues? Mine haven't had any though)

I'm pretty bummed because re-doing my lighting will be a bit of a pain and I don't want to attempt to remove the dioder strips I have in currently in fear of damaging the glass and my detolf. I'll probably just have to remove/slip out the light itself but leave the adhesive part in the display case. If there's a safe way to remove the adhesive though please let me know.

Do you guys have any recommendations for what I can do? I want to re-do my lighting and make sure everything matches if they really are discontinued. (Edit: Also my dioder strip lights are older and I haven't been able to find the same color scheme. Should I honestly just try new lighting all together?)

I own a set of the round color changing dioder (link: www.ikea.com/us...) but don't know if I want to use those or if something else will look better. I'll be making a trip to IKEA again soon though for another detolf and to look at lighting so if you have lighting ideas feel free to post pictures/inspiration for me and tips.

Have any of you heard anything about the dioder strips being discontinued? What do you guys think of this if it's really true/how does it affect you? Any help and news at all would be much appreciated. Thank you!
