Looks like I came close to screwing myself with how I ran the romex for the lights. SUPER conflicting information on how to use romex for low voltage.
And because of the shaker cabinets you can't run a continuous strip across multiple cabinets, there's just no opening between the bottoms unless you cut it out?
Starting in the corner (cause that's by the light switch) and going CCW because that's how I wired it.
Section 1, pie cut corner

I'm looking at the kichler hardstrip series.

Do I want 2700 or 3k? Or 5k? ugh
Only available in 6" or 12" sections
So I'd go with
6"
6"
6"
gap using romex
12"
gap using romex
12" + 6"?

12" + 6" + 12"

That comes to 8ft of continuous length, max is 10ft so I'm good. I'm way under on the wattage.
I think using the crawlspace to reroute some romex I can actually chop it up into 2 sections fairly easy so I have two 4ft sections instead of one 8ft section.
Or I could just use all line voltage stuff, but that's more money. They do offer more sizes though.
I guess I could use the tape stuff too? does that come out nice? After 10 years? Little skeptical about the tape shit lasting.
This is annoying that home depot doesn't sell it, as my MO is to just buy 5 times as much shit as I need, install what I want, and then return 75% of it. Now I actually have to think about what I'm buying.
