A light rail will help. That’s why they call it a light rail. Furthermore, it will make your cabinets look finished. Get a simple light rail from the manufacturer of your cabinets. I am surprised your cabinets order did not come with light rails.
There are undercabinet LED light strips that are actually tapes. Replace your undercabinet lighting with those. You can’t get much lower-profile than those LED tapes. You’ll still need a light rail.
I use my undercabinet lighting constantly. They’re essential for me for task lighting at the counter, but I also enjoy them first thing in the morning before coffee when I don’t want the overhead lights shining down on me, or late in the evening dimmed for mood lighting when the overhead lights are off.
