I have fitted LED Pixels beneath the walnut shelves at either side of the Dinette. A clear acrylic light pipe has been drilled for each led and polished to blend in with the surface of the walnut. When they are off, the LEDs are hardly visible. When illuminated the light shines throught the light pipes and each LED can be individually controlled in colour and brightness to allow for some interesting effects.
