Just ordered online my new light for my closet. I live in an old house and the closet has no light and the room had one outlet so I am going to improvise. I have been using a small lamp with an extension cord but it's underfoot and almost trips me when I'm trying to get something off a shelf. I then just had an idea. I ordered a couple of 5 ft led light strips for a tv back but the white ones that are usb powered. I have a plugin 6 port usb power block and I have a splitter I used with switches I was using for my old usb drives. I'll plug a 10ft usb into the power block then run that to the spitter I'll mount to the back wall of the closet then attach one 5ft usb strip to one side of shelves and another to the other side running vertically. I now have a $20 no batteries lighting system with no real wiring or high cost of other systems and it can be just detached and moved if I want light in another area. It's the cheap nerd diy no skills needed home fix it trick for any area that needs lighting. BTW I don't give a fuck what people think that see it and if someone doesn't like my setup when I run it they can go and fuck themselves for all I care.

I'm talking about anyone that is in my home, btw once you hit 50 beside business you should not give a fuck what anyone thinks that is not sucking your dick or paying your way if that is a thing.
