- Optional: You can add LED strips to the set as needed. With an LED display on the shelf compartment, currently required edge hinges can be identified quickly and easily: As soon as an edge hinge is stored or retrieved, the LEDs of the corresponding compartment light up.
  - The LED strips are available in lengths of 2000 mm, 1400 mm, 500 mm and 160 mm and can be combined up to a total length of 6000 mm.
  - To use the LED strips, you need an LED control box. You can connect up to 4 LED strips per LED control box, each with a total length of 6000 mm.
