LED Lighting Strips
***Adendum: Please disregard this OP, in my research with your help here and in been delivered my proper lights...but there are still a few things to wrap up..getting there.***
I've been looking at LED light strip options for my shelf layout. In a perfect world I would have a valance and use my existing IKEA lights but the bulbs keep burning out and come in at $8.00 cdn a pop. So I am going the LED strip route. I prefer the spread of the LED lights and the price point is perfect.

Fortunately I've got a connection to someone with a CNC mill. The pictures & video are posted below.
