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.

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).
It's an easy job!
Something like this:

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.
"Thin"? Where are you going to mount them?
Yerssss.....
?
Guess we'll have to wait for the op ....
I got some from E-Bay. Sticks fine. Wife is happy..

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.
