LED tape lights with a diffuser, transformer hidden in a closed cabinet. If you are in the design stage route a channel in the shelf to accept the tape

@HALLETT & Co. Thanks for your comment. Could you possibly advise on cabinet allowance for the tape lights as well as undercabinet outlet strips? My cabinet maker is talking about a 2.5" recess and I feel like this may be more than what's necessary. I don't want to see 2.5" of facing when doors are open on full overlay cabinets. I live in a rural area and have been unable to find an electrician experienced in this. Thanks again.

Tape lights are 1/4” thick. The structure of the shelf or whatever might require additional thickness but the light themselves are very thin
