Aziz light!
Luvs me da Mini but it doesn't come with lights. The cheap LED flashlights from Lowes or Home Depot get the job done in a pinch but here's a better, more permanent solution to the problem. For me, 24" of LED strip lights front and back is massive overkill. Six warm analog LEDs in front yields a little over 40 foot-candles at the bed and that seems reasonable.
This clip is designed to snug fit the top frame without drilling holes or additional hardware and, angles the LED strip towards the bed/extruder so you get the light just where you need it and nowhere else. If the fit isn't tight enough just add a length of black electrical tape to snug things up.
I used two segments of this adhesive backed strip (about 120mA @ 12VDC) and printed in black so it blends in.

Consider using some Loctite super glue ultra gel as it doesn't degrade over time from the heat generated by the LEDs. If your strip is shorter or longer just sca
