Wow thank you! I was on the IKEA website and didnt find anything with motion sensor lights. I stayed at the L'Horizon Resort & Spa in P.S. and the vanity had them underneath . went on when I walked into the room . so nice.
But if you want a light that turns on when you walk into the room, you probably want to control the light with an occupancy sensor, not a sensor built into the strip light itself.
I was thinking about adding a low-voltage LED waterproof strip tape at the toe kick for my future bathroom remodel, but after reading about the whole process, decided to scrap the idea, rather than add one more switch in the bathroom. Instead, I plan to install an electric lighted mirror that can be dimmed to act as a night light
I watched a DIY video on how to install the tape lighting, not that I have any interest in a DIY project, but I wanted to understand how it is done. It requires connecting the strip light to a 12v transformer (which converts 110 power to 12 volts) that is installed in the attic (or inside the vanity) and connected to a 110 line from a dimmable switch or on/off switch in the bathroom. The 110 line can be split to support two light switches -- one for the tape lighting (via the transformer) and another light, such as task lighting over the vanity.
