Determining best path for lighting up my bookshelf

I have a bookshelf that looks like this.

The measurements of the same bookshelf. Other than the topmost rectangle which has a height of 42cm, the rest of them are equal and smaller i.e. 35.5cm. The width of all rectangles is the same i.e. 55cm and the extra non-rectangle one-side open portion is 25cm thus the total width of the shelf is 80cm. In a simplified diagram, it looks like this.

I purchased 10m USB-based string light (which has a USB port on one end and is just a linear piece of wire with bulbs on it) and this is supposed to go along the front rims of the shelf (cannot go inside as books are placed) starting from ORIGIN point (marked in red) which is where its power source is. I intend to tape over it so that when I switch it on, the shelf lights up beautifully. I'm trying to find the best path to take to cover the entirety of the bookshelf. I do not see a single straight pathway and so overlapping is unavoidable. However, since it is unavoidable I would like to overlap the main rectangles if possible to maximize the bulbs and give the bookshelf the best overall appearance. How can I determine the best pathway for this structure? Thanks.

What I have tried:

I tried reading up on dynamic programming esp. the Travelling Salesman Problem which I believe could be used to solve this but I couldn't quite figure out a solution.

A mathematical solution would be to add up the distances and then dividing it by the total, which led me to find that the wire goes twice around with 112cm to spare, which I believe would be suitable to be around the bottom. However, I wasn't happy with the solution and would love to see if a computer solution can be found.
