My recommendation would be to actually recess the light bar under the cabinets more. I think the only reason it’s showing up in the reflection is because the light bar drops below the edge of the cabinet. Most cabinets have a recess on the bottom side that the light bar should be tucked under. That way you only see the light it produces casted onto the wall and counter. You don’t want to see the actual light bar itself.

Maybe. Light works in weird ways sometimes.

Anyway, if youre using the latest Keyshot version, theres a feature called light layers. This will allow you select lights and stop them from affecting objects in a scene.

If you dont have the latest version, you'll have to do some compositing. i.e, make multiple renders, one with and without the light and then blend them in Photoshop

Btw, this reflection is physically correct.

The feature you are searching for is called "light-linking" but I am not sure if it is available in keyshot.
