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! =
