Hi guys, DIYer here hoping for some help and advice. I am redoing my kitchen and plan to put a 5m strip of LED lighting below the units above the plinth.

I want to make this dimmable and connect it with lighting cable to a 3 way light switch (along with existing wall light and undercupboard light switches).

A few things I'd like some advice on:

The strip itself- does this need to be specifically a dimmable one? And can it easily go around a corner? Any recommendations on the best type to go for?

The driver: I understand this is required to lower the voltage to the LED strip. Any idea on what kind I will need for this job? Also, is it easy to connect this to the lighting circuit? The ones I have seen usually have a socket on the end.

The switch: I know this has to be LED compatible. Anything else to be aware of?

I think these 3 things are all I need? If anyone has experience with this kind of thing any help would be much appreciated.
