What you choose will depend on the type of countertops you have. Some light styles make for lots of glare above granite, for instance. Check out lighting displays of your choices and take a piece of your countertop material along to see what kind of reflection you get. On a low budget you can actually pick up LED holiday lights and do your own install with a staple gun. There are DIY puck lights too.That will last while you investigate and save up for the real deal.

Or if you're super low budget, plain old rope light might be good. I'll be honest, the cheap stuff doesn't last very long.

Hi -- Look at the Zion type lighting strips -- Any big box home stores should have them . I think that's what they are called ?? Anyway the store should know .
