A 5050 LED strip will give you a great amount of light and they're also cheap, if you want even more light buy a 5730 (or 5730) LED strip.
Those are pretty much the three most used LED types.

You could put lights in the floor if you want, but that will involve having to make channels for the wires too. You could try making a groove and inserting pic related, which are aluminum profiles for LEDs designed for similar purposes. Not sure how the plastic will hold over time, but you can always pop it out and replace it.

You can make a hole for the strips and cover with plexiglass like:

Or buy aluminum profiles for LED.
In both cases you need to route a hole in the shelf to fit the profile.
