    Hey guys - just added an LED strip to my R1+. It was actually very painless. Here is what I bought:
    https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01CNLXXJS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    I actually wired up a switch as well until I realized it was fairly useless since the controller on the strip has a remote....

    I also used a molex connector (2 pin) so that it could be easily disconnected if I need to remove the top.

    The power was run to the power supply - not the RAMPS board. There is actually an extra positive and negative lug on the power supply so it was fairly easy. Only slight pain was getting the power supply up and out. It is not screwed or held in place by anything, but it is in there good just with friction.

    Here are some pics.
