Hue cabinet lighting issue

I installed hue lightstrips under my overhead cabinets and they look fine. I also installed them in the toe kick area. The problem is that you can see the lights reflecting off the floor. From a distance they look fine, but once you get within 5 feet of the lights, you can see the white, green and blue "bulbs" every so many inches reflecting off the floor. Looks like crap. Anyone have a solution?
Space is tight down there, but so far I have tried positioning the strip at different angles, photography diffuser fabric, masking tape and even diffuser acrylic sheets you would see on fluorescent bulb units. At a loss.
I want even lighting down there if possible

Been there.
I put strips under a glass desk and it looked terrible. I ordered some black felt strips, and it made life a lot better...but defeated the purpose of the glass.

Maybe reflect them and then use the diffuser? Seems like a lot of work though.
I'd just try aiming them away from the floor (i.e. aim them towards the cabinets) and sacrafice some brightness.

Did that as well. They are so damn bright you still see spots
