Her who must be obeyed has been asking about low level plinth lights in
the kitchen. So as the things are already in place it needs to be thin.
Any suggestions as to reliable thin lights...

LED tape is the obvious one.

"Thin"? Where are you going to mount them?

"Thin"? Where are you going to mount them?

Some kitchens I have seen have them mounted in holes in the plinth. Others
have fitted tape to the underneath of the cupboard just in front of the
plinth. Plnths are typically only clipped onto the legs.

Just tell her that only swingers have plinth lights (and hot tubs).

Not sure I would tape it in place - it's bound to fall down. Maybe a few
bent over nails, but still, plug it in, voila! You can have disco lights
if you want.

Something like this:

glued to the top of the plinth with LED tape inside. That way the whole
lot comes of with the plinth and the light is thrown further than if it
was on the underside of the units.

Depends if you want it "thrown" or to create a downwash.

The couple of times I've used this type of LED strip the double sided
tape on the back has been the weak point. It may stick and stay on a
horizontal surface but I've found on vertical surface or where taken
around a rounded corner the strips comes away after a relatively short
time. Luckily for my two applications the strip wasn't visible so a
cosmetically perfect fix wasn't important. I used a heavy duty double
sided sticky foam strip designed for sticking car trim for one fix. I
used hot melt glue for another fix.

I note of some cheap light fittings that I have that use LED strips
there is a mechanical fixing method, possibly backing up a double sided
tape fixing.

No big deal to add a plinth to the bottom of the cupboards to hide lights.
I did this ages ago to hide standard size florries. Tubes with separate
ballasts. LEDs should be easier.
