There is already a similar post but I didn't want to totally high jack it.

I really like the idea of undercabinet lights but didnt want to spend much $$$ to do it.


So some people found LEDS at Ikea but they were still $40 a pop. A price point I still wasnt in love with...So I did some digging and found these:

15 feet of waterproof LEDS with an awesome IR remote (tons of color and 'mode' options like fade fast/slow, blink, strobe etc) and power for $26 INCLUDING shipping (I paid $2 extra and they arrived via DHL in 7 days). I'll post some pics later but they are awesome. I put one set on my back of my Jukebox and it looks great.

It's a flexible strip with 3m tape on the back you can peel off.

I'm sure there is a way to make them sound reactive but I havent searched for exactly HOW to do it...

Not sure why it looks like I have a smoke machine going...But you get the drift.

Here's what they look like 'installed'

I plugged them into the service outlet in the cab and drilled a small hole for the power cord and IR dongle to go through...

I have something similar I installed on my Galaxian, it is a LED bulb, the remote even works through the marquee! I am just waiting to get a second from China.

I think one of the things I was so surprised by was the shipping. It shipped same day and got here within a week. That was amazing.

I think I'm going to mount the strips onto a plywood sheet (cut to the size of the cab underside) and attach the sheet somehow (maybe heavy duty velcro) so I can easily move them to a new pin when I want...I seem to move pins in and out quite regularly.

On the other hand, for $25 I can probably suck it up and let it stay with whatever pin I sell/trade...
