  We installed bins in the back and it can get pretty dark back there.   So I put up a set of four battery powered lights that can be controlled either with a remote, or individually with a switch.  We won’t use these for long periods, just to find or adjust something, thus saving the battery life.  The lights can be set for different brightness and time on.
  
  
  
  It is daytime of course, but here is with lights out...
  
  
  
  Lights on..
  
  
  
  I got them at Costco for a little over 20 bucks.  The only change I made was not to use their metal plate, which fastened to the wood, and the light has a magnet that catches the plate.  I didn’t trust the magnet strength. I used 2 small command strips for each light instead, that makes the light easy to remove for battery change.  I have a ton of those strips.

  I installed a similar light under the AC cabinet.

  Today I fixed the 3 way fridge with a new quiet fan and thermostat, and added a small Valterra fan to the refrigerator compartment to move air around inside as well.  Should keep the fridge more evenly cooled, i.e. no more frozen things in the back corner.
  
  I'm slowly becoming a better plumber, electrician, bearing and brake mechanic, window installer,  and HVAC technician than I am an accountant. 😁
