There’s a small light from the previous homeowners that’s hardwired in already, but it makes a horrible buzzing sound that makes me nervous to use. I also want to get something bigger, but something I can still mount up there. A 100 watt panel is going to be way too strong. Any good options for strip lights? Length is about 4 feet in total.

Grow light Australia do some things called buddies.
You could wire a small driver into your existing wire and then they have stick on pads , you could put string/s of them spread out under the 4ft space

Would require no electrical work but the other suggestion looks cool too if its cheaper. The ACI can be programed to a light schedule. 28w and grew some nice buds with it that Im chopping in couple days.

Should be more than enough for other plants Id think since it served my needs knowing how much light cannabis likes.

Id think you would just use the mounting gear it comes with but shouldnt be hard to mount in this situation.

Not that the electrical work mentioned sounds hard but if youre handy just not with electric I avoid that. I was being talked into diy lights though said its not hard at all. Im just anxious what I dont know my brain fills in the rest.

Thanks for the recs. I’m looking at stuff that can be flush-mounted under the cabinets. The space is weird, like 22” on each side, so I’m looking for around 18” light strips. The AC infinity ion beam s16s look neat - same light you linked, but the bigger size. I’m asking them about the ability to mount the, but they’re on my short list because they’ve got a dimmer function and I have no vertical space to work with here.

Have these, grow great peppers and cherry tomatoes.
I used all 6 in a 3x4 shelf. Same Barrina six pack as above.

Also that rolled up led strip lighting that sticks on. Might look at that. I went all out and cut it and soldered jumper wires so I could make it fit our kitchen cabs nice. Little hot glue on the wires to keep them tight.
I bet it would work to grow most plants.
