Took off the ends and removed the prongs.

Looking at the traces on the back of the LED strip, I could see they divided it up into 5 parallel sets of 24 series connected LED's. The rectifying circuit puts out about 100 VDC, so that's a little under 4 volts per LED. Based on the layout, I should be able to cut any multiple of 24 LED's off the strip and it should still work.

Cut off 2/5's (48 LED's) of the strip, bringing it down to 28 inches. This will be the longest size that will still fit in the cabinet.

Wrapped the end with electrical tape to keep the sharp aluminum from cutting into the wire's insulation.

Put the ends back on after drilling and joining two holes on the side where the power cord is going to come out. I also drilled the hole that will be used to hold the magnet mounts on.

Used pop rivets to attach the magnets.

Here they are mounted under the shelves and turned on.
