Under Cabinet Kitchen LED Lights

Any suggestions wrt LED spots or strips either dimmable or not?
Will have a 55" and a 48" section of cabinet on each side of a window and another 70" section of cabinet against an opposite wall.
The countertop will be a lighter white/ivory color.
Thanks

I'd go dimmable and match the kelvins to whatever the rest of your kitchen lighting is. If not, go adjustable but make sure they can hit true white.
How are you planning to wire them being on opposite walls?

After redoing and installing from scratch about 5 different setups in the last few months, I would do one of three setups: traditional LED fixtures, Low-voltage LED pucks, or an LED ribbon trimmed in to give indirect lighting. All these options are dimmable, the ribbon offers RGB color changing which some people really like for parties, and it depends on how much light you want.

I used these to light up a liquor cabinet and a glass upper cabinet in the kitchen. They work very well and are dimmable or bright depending on your desired look.

If your doing hard wired strips make sure you have a spot to put the power supply that drops the voltage down for the LED lights and make sure the power supply can handle the amount of LEDs you plan on putting out. I went with the strips and hard wired. Mounted my power supply on the side wall of a cabinet.

I'm taking out a 3 ft wall section on that opposite side which contains light switches. When I relocate the switches, I can power the LEDs from a switch controlling that side.
Renovating from floor to ceiling and it's the best time to plan the electrical work. I thought replacing fluorescent ceiling fixtures with spot LEDs and under cabinet LEDs would be the way to go.

I hard wired the under cabinet lights in the link below. I bought one of the select-able brightness and determined I liked the 2700K setting and ordered the rest in the non select-able 2700k brightness to save a little money. The lights in the link are not dimmable.

I picked up some from Lowes. LED, dimmable, strips, 120V... Jumped the power off an existing outlet using a dimmable switch then daisy chained them together at each of the 3 lights. Was a fairly easy job since I was replacing the upper cabinets. I dont remember the brand, but it was something similar to this.
