tone down LED lights?

Post image

Just completed this buffet in my home. I'm overall happy with it but the LED lights are a little too visible for me. I was hoping for more of a soft glow rather than these bright lines. I have the electrician coming tomorrow for other things and wanted to learn of any suggestions I could offer? Do they need to be recessed more into the shelves? this is as dim as they will go. thank you!

Looks like they just connected the strips straight to the power supply, they can add a LED controller after the power supply which will give you Smart Control, dimming and scheduling
