That was two years ago. We'd still like to have this done.

I went with ESHINE very easy install, I did drop microwave to install connection wire.
Either web site or Amazon.

Dang, the LED tape lights are hard to work with at the 10MM width

Here is where I bought most of my product, very helpful. The controller has an app that controls the lighting. You can schedule when they come on and off, if you get the RGB you can pick any color.

There is a lip along the front of the cabinet that can hide the light, or a small piece of molding added.

Be careful placing the lights right up against the front lip. It can leave a nasty shadow on the counter top.

We just had ours done. Two strips are an inch or so back and two are right up against the front lip. The ones an inch back give off an even light over the entire counter top. The others show a noticeable shadow.

I'll be moving those back in short order...
