Great idea, and good quality light. 

I bought 5 metres of sticky backed led lights off ebay.   I've cut and stuck them around my work area, including as you have done, on my machines.

I 've also bought a bundle of fancy 'boy racer' cockpit switches, and plan to rig everything up with individual switches, leading to a 12v battery and solar panel.

That sounds like a good setup @LumpenDoodle2..oddly enough, my major in college is renewable energy!!! Solar definitely will help you out..very little watt usage with LED's! If you should need any help in setting things up, let me know...can draw you up a schematic and such, if need be.

Thanks, always willing to learn from someone more knowledgable.    

I bought a cheap Chinese solar panel, and regulator for my campervan, but it's off getting some repairs just now, so set up the system in my workshop.   It only produces about 2amp at best (30w panel), but I was surprised at how useful that little amount actually is. 

I have my little battery constantly charged, and even charge my phone and tablet off it.  Once the leds are all set up, I feel I'll be doing my little bit to make the world great again.
