It's s flexible 3M Backed sticky light I tied into a switch / the into a hot wire for my Overhead Bus Lights

It was like $40 (Yikes)
at Auto Zone

But I have to say it's been a game changer - it lights up all of the Kitchen AND Pantry Port Side

So after the $40 I gotta say I've never regretted it. I will check Amazon for the next one - it's heat resistant as well... When I've knocked the chill out with a few minutes of the stove - it takes it like a champ

Def something for the Engine Compartment!!!!!

used the exact same light strips for a limousine... slipped them through 2 poly tubes, stuff the tube back in the old incandescent rope light channel and couldn't be happier.
I believe I got my roll from ebay or amazon, for CHEEP!!!!!! dang cheep!
and they're dimmable. (went with warm white for my application)
