Looks good bro! I personally think the LED strip lighting option is the cheapest and also the best for brightness on all shelves. I also took it a step further and installed a RF remote too. This is about $1-$2 on eBay via China and now I can control brightness and power. The only wires you...

The option of using the LED Strips (not Ikea dioder) is excellent as the 3M adhesive backing combo with the smooth glass....It will stick forever!

I think the IKEA Dioder is too bulky and you have to hide wires. I found the LED Strip Lights much easier as they are light weight and have a 3M adhesive backing. The lights generate zero heat so the stick will last forever.
