We are remodeling our kitchen and can’t decide. So far, I like the Ikea Irsta kitchen the most. However, I find it quite expensive, especially since I don’t need the Tradfri stuff. Recessed spotlights are out; the lighting should be as even as possible without individual light points.
Otherwise, we are considering converting other LED panels or installing an LED strip in a profile on the wall.
Of course, you can find all sorts of information by searching online. But who is willing to share real photos of their countertop lighting?
Another question is: Is tunable white necessary for countertop lighting, or is a fixed color temperature enough? In that case, we would most likely go with warm white.

I had this in my previous apartment: aluminum angle profiles from the hardware store as a cover, with LED strip rolls behind them. Both were full width. Quite delicate, you really have to look for them against the green wall.

Above the peninsula, there are two 24V LED spotlights installed in the ceiling, with overlapping light beams. They are controlled by a motion sensor.
On the opposite side, there are wall cabinets with a 45-degree profile beneath them, equipped with an LED strip to illuminate the sink and access point, also controlled by the motion sensor.
I would choose the light color to match the rest of the room. Although, according to textbooks, warm white is not ideal for work areas, I believe it’s acceptable here to maintain a consistent color throughout the room.
In my opinion, tunable white and RGB lighting are just gimmicks. They might be fun at first, but you rarely use those features in daily life.
