I recommend buying a remote dimmer on/off switch:

ries&hash=3Ditem3f335865df

Works great for dimming the 4 warm glow LED "pucks" I installed in the top b=
unk strip.

I also bought one of the waterproof 300 LED light strips similar to this:

I can hook them up in a few minutes wherever I want for some outdoor "mood" =

Hey, inspired by some of your awesome upgrades that I have heard about, and =
I came across some flexible LED light strips, I was going to give it a go. =

These strips work on DC, so it should be easy wiring. A couple of questions:=

Thinking of putting the strip under the metal strip on the edge of the top b=
unk. Good place? Thinking of either wiring into the galley light, turn both =
on and off with the same switch. Or wire it down into the cabinet and into t=
he original fridge wiring that is now open since I replaced the fridge.   Wh=
at are your thoughts? What size wire should I use?

Thinking about adding a strip outside the slider so we have some lights at n=
ight. Any thoughts on that? Not sure how go wire around to the Aux. Suggesti=
ons?

Thanks in advance! =
