Keezer collar - light cord

[IsonAd]

So I'm just about to build a keezer with a collar but my freezer has a cord that goes from bottom of the freezer to the lid to supply power to the little light. It looks like it won't be long enough to reach the lid once I add the collar. I don't really want the light so am hoping for advice on the simplest solution to get rid of it. Can I just cut it and tape up with electrical tape?

I guess I could wire a computer fan to it but i really don't think I have the knowhow for that.

Any advice welcome

I'd see if you can disconnect the wires from where they originate. Otherwise you really need to terminate the wires correctly.

Easiest way, disconnect the wires from inside of the freezer light pull out the wires and cap it off, or cut the wires and cap off, don't use electrical tape.

So what does capping off mean?

When I got mine a few years back I had the same problem IsonAd. I loosened of the cable relief at the bottom and managed to pull a bit more out from the compressor area. Try that?

Thanks razz will give that a go. Not sure my kids would want me stealing their Lego witches hats to put on electrical wire anyway.

Leave the light there and go coffin box?

Good tip I was able to get an extra few CMS that means I can leave it.
