Where do you guys find power outlets for all these weird placements of LED strips? :D Outlets in my house is not in great places for something like this.

I lucked out and was simply in a relationship with a gal whom I helped purchase a house with a handy switched power outlet near the ceiling which was likely intended for seasonal decorative lights.
I co-oped the outlet once we got married but I need to replace the piece of tape that keeps the light in with one of these multi-button zigbee mains-powered switches that fit in multi-gang decora plates. I refuse to do wifi unless I can run esphome on it, and I will only trust matter when it runs over thread.

I know there are some zwave rechargeable LED strips but they're pricey
