You are correct. The strip lights usually are 1" thick and so just tuck up under the cabinetry. The higher end jobs get the nice veneered panel that hides everything with the light areas cut out. Otherwise I recommend a light rail molding to better cover the fixtures. I don't really consider the exposed fixtures too big a deal. Not many people really notice them since you cannot see them unless you are sitting at table in the same room. Even then, they get lost in the clutter of a "lived in" kitchen. If the customer wants it, the customer gets it. RT
