Using Lights in Upper Glass Cabs- not stacked

We have an 8' ceiling and were doing stacked cabs but recently changed to a one door plan with the top panels done in glass.

The electrician wired for puck lights (or any lights) in the top sections when we thought we were doing stacked.

Now the cabinetmaker says that light will bleed down to the solid parts of the door unless he puts a "deck" that separates that top section from the bottom. Basically he said it is a 3/4" solid shelf that would be stationary.

Have any of you done this if you have similar set up?

On the all glass doors (below) we also thought we'd do pucks at top and nothing in main cab below. However, now that it is all one cabinet cabinet maker said we'd have to put lights around whole frame of the cabinet or it would again bleed down and look bad if just at top. Unless Maybe here again we put a deck in those as well. There are glass panels on the side of the cabinet by door to outside.

We are doing all wood shelves-- no glass shelves.

Thanks- I know you are all probably sick of me!
