@RichiH if you don't actually need flex strips, take a look at their plug and play modules:

you could double-sided tape them just fine, or you could get a profile channel for them.

In response to this post@RichiH nah, don't go with 80, you can get that stuff way cheaper. let me find you some alternatives, 2sec.

In response to this post@timonsku @manawyrm DDR5 memory controllers and board layouts have been a major challenge. most of the memory vendors have started putting caveats in their marketing copy explaining that they can't guarantee that a kit will work at full speed on your board even if it's on the QVL, since it's down to a lottery on getting a CPU with a good IMC and a board with good tolerances.
board vendors have even started advertising their use of DIMM slots with stub elimination features in the pin design.
@gsuberland @manawyrm it worked out!

@RichiH if you ran 24V to each cupboard you could wire an NC microswitch in series with each strip, screwed to the cupboard "ceiling", and use that to switch the lights on when the cupboard is opened.

@RichiH their search and website layout is a bit messy but if you get in touch with them by email they're really good at telling you all the bits you need for a project (e.g. if you want aluminium profile and fixtures to go with the strip) and what your options are there. but for straight up adhesive strips you can just get them.
those strips are 24V CV with inbuilt balancing resistors so you don't need to CC drive them. you can cut them every 5cm so it's easily adjustable in length.

In response to this post@RichiH Lumistrips sell some great ones. the Seoul LumiFlex ones have lower LED pitch options so they're more affordable and good for softer lighting like cabinet downlights.

I'd recommend not buying 2700K since vendors haven't quite perfected that low a CT yet. 3000K is fine, 3500K is the sweet spot imo but few offer it.
I don't know of any good quality battery powered systems unfortunately, nor any off-the-shelf options for integrating into automatic cupboard lights.

@da_667 I made it, I needed to test print quality on smaller stickers for Unsafe Warnings so I used this as a test run haha
want a couple? I've got spares

@xssfox the repeater light positioning is the critical bit. if they place it too low or too far back it looks like a separate traffic control when you round the inside corner.

@sam but either way it's at least one a day without fail, often two or more if I've been cooking an involved meal or doing something physical or it's just been hot (I do not handle heat well), usually mid morning to lunchtime for the regular one.

In response to this post@sam the answer to this question depends on whether "morning" and "evening" are relative to the sun's position in the sky or relative to my goblin-ass UTC+rand() waking hours.
