Kitchen under cabinet lighting

[Acuity31]

Are the battery powered units crap?
Did some investigating and I didn't get lucky, no fused spur or anything high up on the walls. I'd have to branch off the boiler circuit and somehow run a wire behind the wall which I don't really want to do.
The obvious alternative is buy something which plugs into a socket and is motion activated to at least not have to fumble around the for switch every time. Or wire something up which uses one of those kinetic wall switches and leave the lights plugged into a socket but turn on and off via said switch. Similar to the Proper DIY guide I watched:

We have some led strip lights under the top cabinets.
They are wired in but these ones below work off a plug

Battery is crap, you will soon get tired of replacing or recharging.

Get mains powered units and run the cables in D-shaped trunking up the side of a wall or a tall cabinet to the top of the wall units, then run a cables down to the underside.

I used some slim 12V LED units.
With 12V you can use thin 'bell wire'.
Easy to hide and easy to poke down the back of a cabinet.

an alternative is a string of 'usb powered' LEDs.
Power from a USB charger socket or an old phone charger and you have simple, quick, cheap, versatile lighting to play around with.
