>Solid channels overall, the white diffuser does a pretty good job of diffusing the hotspots from the individual LEDs. If I wanted a more perfect line of light, I would've gone with something a deeper than these but they are 15 . 5mm tall and the lip on my cabinets is .75" (19 . 05mm) so anything much larger and it would've stuck out which I wasn't looking to do.

>I don't really recommend going this route, it caused more of a headache than it was worth. Basically, I'd received all of the other parts and then realized the only wire I had lying around was 24awg so I went out to see what I could get locally. Solid core wire has its pros and cons but I learned pretty quickly that soldering it directly to the LED strips wasn't going to be a viable option because the solid core wire was so rigid that when I bent it, it'd rip the LED strip more often than not. I'd advise sticking with 18awg if you're planning on doing an amplified run like this but stranded wire will make your life a lot easier. That said, it worked and I'm not planning on changing it.

>Literally everything else in this setup is soldered, I'm not a fan of using connectors when I don't have to but for modularity's sake, I used a terminal block for the 3 sections of under cabinet strips. It was cheap, quick and I bought it when I got the thermostat wire.

>I probably used 2/3 of the roll. None of the aluminum channels where particularly heavy so I just placed a 2" piece every 6 inches or so. Holding up great so far. I could've used the mounting gear that came with the channels for the cabinets but I didn't want to make any permanent holes and I knew that I'd need something like this for under the granite countertop on the island anyway.
