Dollhouse lightings require 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 lightings 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 point is to decide the quantity of lights. The quantity of lights will determine what transformer and socket board that will be required.
It is better to concentrate on one room at a time while wiring. The better option is to begin 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 the 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 dollhouse lighting.
Dollhouse lightings require precision as plating with tiny wires can be sometimes frustrating. If the above-mentioned steps are followed properly, even a novice can light a dollhouse.
