Renovation as an Opportunity for an Illuminated World Map for the Wall<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

During the renovation of my living room, I took the opportunity to install my illuminated stainless steel world map and neatly conceal all the wiring within the wall. For me, this project was the perfect moment to add a modern highlight to my living space. Perhaps it can also inspire others to create their own illuminated world map \u2013 regardless of the material or size.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After we had stripped the living room back to its shell, I first used the drilling template to determine the perfect position for the illuminated world map on the wall. I then marked the spots where the junction boxes would later be installed. After that, the necessary cable channels were milled into the wall\u2014after all, I wanted to control my illuminated world map conveniently via a light switch.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In my setup, the main power supply runs from above into the central junction box, which is later concealed behind Eurasia. From this box, I routed a two-core cable to each of the two additional junction boxes. Once all cables were in place, the opened channels were plastered over and the living room was freshly wallpapered\u2014creating the perfect foundation for a clean installation of my illuminated world map wall d\u00e9cor.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

In parallel with the renovation, I prepared the actual map. To do this, I precisely marked the areas where the junction boxes would later be located, ensuring that no LED strip would run in these spots and that no unsightly shadows would be created.<\/p>

I chose a warm white Paulmann Function FlexLED strip\u2014which, in my view, is ideal for world map LED lighting, as it can be laid easily around tight curves without needing to be cut.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

To make later mounting and removal easier, I crimp small connectors onto each end of the LED strips. This allows even a complex illuminated metal world map to be wired cleanly and modularly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

After the renovation, I realigned the drilling template so that all junction boxes would later be concealed by the world map elements. I then marked the drill points, inserted the supplied Fischer wall plugs, and screwed the mounts into the wall.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Using a utility knife, I carefully opened the junction boxes and pulled out the connection cables. The in-wall LED power supply is located in the main junction box and distributes power via two outputs\u2014ideal for my illuminated world map.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Then came the big moment: mounting and connecting the illuminated world map on the wall.
