If not for reading and just mood lighting....................
I would use non clear solid plastic 'c-channel'.
You can cut it to length easily and place the open end towards a wall or ceiling to allow light to reflect off such, offering a softer more spread out light but at the same time, using very little 12v power.
Doing it that way, you won't have to worry about making the strip straight inside the tube. I would plan the route so the end wires would end up being near a point close to the 12 v source for hooking into your power. (drill a hole into a cabinet then run the wire out of sight)
I would run separate 12v pos/neg fused wires from a 12v source or the battery to an on-off switch or possibly a dimmer switch if the lights were compatible with a dimmer .
