I am trying to come up with an easy under cabinet light that is activated by motion. The problem is the last two I tried ender up in the sump and died! Any suggestion how to easily attach the lights. Magnetic doesn't work and I'm not very good at d.i.y. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I went with this and I run a USB-C cable to it but it lasts pretty long on a single charge if you don't want a cable. Super easy to remove because it's just a magnet.

edit: oops just saw you said magnetic doesn't work. :(

Not Magnetic, but these come with adhesive strip, and for $20 for 3, it's a sweet deal.
