Their products are pretty impressive and look like there built to last, think I'll give the cheap eBay ones a whirl first though.

Its really only a case of connecting "+" and "-" from your existing wiring to these strips.
I had to solder on to the LED strip as mine didn't have any cables pre wired and I also cut them to length so as long as you can solder, you're golden!
The cost is minimal, just the LEDs, some cable to extend to the end position and thats it :)

At night these are seriously bright, well worth doing if you have racking! Im considering sticking some up front

I was referring to the actual shelving unit ,rather than the lighting

Oh I see :oops:
My chippy mate helped me out, don't think he'll have time to knock up shelving for eBay but the materials cost me £60 from wickes.
Easy to install actually, the scribe work needs some patience and a bit of experience but there's always sealant :D
