Howdy!

I'm looking for a little advice regarding the safety of installing LED light strips. For context, my Grandmother mentioned wanting LED accent lighting in her kitchen under the top cabinets, mainly to illuminate the place a bit, and she liked the look. She told me she thought she would need to hire an electrician to do it (which is why she hasn't gotten to it), but I was telling her I could do it with some LED light strips. I've got some experience from lining my bedroom ceiling with LED light strips during the pandemic, and she thought I hired someone to do it, so I don't think she knows that it could be a diy project.

After quite a bit of research (and looking for strips on early black friday sales), I started to think about how a kitchen is probably pretty different when considering risk factors versus a bedroom. She does not cook very often, but I figured I might still need to consider splashes from water or oil (part of it would be over the stove), or other things that may rise and be in the air from cooking. Heat from the stove or hot food might also affect things.

So here are my questions to anyone who has taken on this task before or might know something about it: Any recommendations for LED light strips fitting for the risk factors of kitchen cabinets (or perhaps I should be using a completely different method of lighting for this)? My plan was to just get some adhesive LED light strips from Amazon, but please let me know if there is anywhere else I should be looking. I wanted to do this for her as a Christmas gift, but please let me know if maybe this project would be best left to the electrician and lighting professionals.

Also, if anyone has any recommendations or some cool tricks, or automation ideas for lighting a kitchen, please let me know! I want her to really enjoy this Christmas gift after everything she's done for me. I am preferably looking for something with a user-friendly app that my Grandmother can use on her phone. Thanks!
