Lighting Options for Reloading Bench?

I use a set of these on my Dillon 650:

I don't run them vertically like shown in the picture. I run them horizontally, along the back underside of the part of the press that holds the tool-head. Seems to provide all the light I need. The reloading room has windows and is pretty well lit during the daytime. Also have a 3 bulb ceiling light fixture for night time. These Hornady LED lights work fine for me.
 
I just ordered an Ikea Jansjo light from ebay, it looks like a good fit for what I need for now. Ikea doesn't sell them online and its a little bit of a drive into Mass to get to their brick and mortor store. I'll probably add more lighting and this thread has lots of good ideas rolling in. I like the press mounted strips, but my bench is set up so the presses are removable so I don't think they will work for me. My wife has been asking for under counter lights in the kitchen, some good ideas here for that as well.
 
I got the clip on version of the Jansjo. I figured it would save real estate on the bench top. We'll see how that works.
