Dollhouse lighting requires planning and precautions. You can find many dollhouse lights and wiring kits that can make your job very simple. It is important to start planning the dollhouse lights before you make the dollhouse. The first thing which has to be done is to decide the location of the lights in your dollhouse-will they be on the ceiling, walls, free standing or table lights. Second important thing is to decide the quantity of the lights. The quantity of lights will determine what transformer and socket board will be required.
It is better to concentrate on one room at a time while wiring. The better option is to start with bottom floor rooms. It is important to have lighting in each room before you decorate the room above. You should also paint and decorate your ceiling before you fit a ceiling light.
You have to drill two holes for a ceiling light. We recommend you to run wire along floors as they are easier to hide. Once the wiring is over, attach the socket board to the transformer and you are ready to plug in your doll house lighting.
Doll house lighting requires precision as playing with tiny wires can be frustrating sometimes. But if the above mentioned steps are followed properly, even a novice can light a dollhouse.
