I am fitting cabinets/shelving in my living room alcoves, four in total, which are going to have an LED strip channelled in the very top shelf. That is four LED strips.
Firstly I'm not familiar with LED strip configurations and the company doing the work have already included the strips/drivers in their plan. They are proposing a 12v system from hafele with proximity sensors.

I will have my electrician channel cable to each top shelf, as there is a socket for every alcove that will be hidden inside the cabinetry at the bottom.
The thing is I don't know if this system is compatible or modifiable in a way I'd like. For example, we already decided not to run wires all the way to interconnect to the light switch because it involves lots of work and damage to decoration. I looked at wireless control, there are some interesting solutions on the web but not with this company. And also at what cost. The worst case scenario is to have to turn on/dim each one manually.
And last, the led strips seem to go down to 3000K temperature. For some people that is warm enough, but for me I'd be looking for the ultra warm 2600~2800K. Should I just swap the strips they will provide, I assume 12v with correct wattage will work?
