Default Under Cabinet Lighting

So, you have your expensive LED lighting. In the cabinet you have your sump, filtration, expensive reactors, electronics, etc.

What kind of lighting do you use under your cabinet without adding too much expense to an already expensive hobby? I am looking for ideas on lighting to put under my new 3ft x 3ft cube, so I can see what I'm doing when I'm crawling on all fours under there....

Any ideas are welcome!

+1. Super cheap, good amount of light, and they mount easily.

I also have one small LED strip, but it actually sucks compared to the flourescent I have.

I'm just in the midst of installing them on my new build, so if I get a chance, I'll post some pics with the difference.

You can buy flexible led strips that attach with two sided tape. They are relatively cheap to purchase.
