Hi Dave,

        You can run wires from the light above the cabinets ---- through
the shelf channel, around/above the closet and to the rear shelf. from
there you could drill through to whereever you're putting the light. I
don't have my Westy in front of me so this description may not be perfect
--- hopethis helps. I did this to mount my flex-arm Osram reading lights
--- it was quick and easy.

Cheers,
Doug
