Added LED light
Purchased a 4" LED tape light strip and switch from 1000bulbs.com, and used a 12V power supply I had. Cut the strip in half so everything fit good. 3 lights shining down into the case is plenty bright. Parts were around $3, cost more for shipping than parts, so I bought spare parts also.

Re: Added LED light
I changes my "sanctuary" to LED lighting. I have both on press LEDs as well as swivel/adjustable arm LED lights on my benches. At my age there is never enough light.

Re: Added LED light
I'm the same way, seems like there can't be not enough light.
The LED bulbs are really a white light and cost much less to operate. In my kitchen the ceiling fixture used 5 50 watt flood lights (250 Watt). The LED putting out the same lumens (seems like more with the white light). These 5 new lights only use 5 watts apiece. (225 watts less.)

Re: Added LED light
The only blasters I have are on my vent hood. Sure they're bright. You can tell by the heat. I put stuff on my glass top stove with the lights on high to dry items. Heat is a major indicator of inefficiency so ....
I have LEDs under cabinet lights. That helps. Besides my three way reading lamps and the bathroom vanities, my entire house is fluorescent for cost of operation savings.
I have not yet begun to spring for the premium price LED hardware costs for my interior home lighting. I might later.
