A while back I took a small closet and made some shelves to hold some vinyl records. Well it wasn't long and the wood shelves started to sag with the weight and I always needed to use a flash light to find anything specific.
Well the other day I took everything out and added a center support to help overcome the sagging shelves. Their is still some evidence from the past but for the most part now that the center support goes all the way to the floor I think I have enough support.
To address the lighting issue I used a number of recessed LED light pucks and put them in the wall around the door to focus the light towards the shelves. It makes all the difference now as all the shelves are lit and I can see every LP from the upper shelves all the way to the ones just above the floor. This picture doesn't include all the shelves as they run from just a few inches off the floor to all the way to the ceiling.
