Since I built my Prusa Mendel, I've been looking for ways to get more light on the bed during printing. I finally hit upon this excellent solution.
The idea is to install an extra frame vertex on one (or both) ends of the printer top bar; the vertex is enhanced to include a tab that supports one of [these great gooseneck lights sold by Ikea](https://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/00385941/).
(Strangely, you can't/couldn't actually *buy* them on the Ikea web site, but you can buy them other places, e.g., [here](http://www.amazon.com/IKEA-JANSJO-Desk-Work-Light/dp/B0055IW5UA)) Get two lights and put a mount on each end of the printer for even more light and less shadows.
The long gooseneck lets you put light wherever you want it, and it's bright enough to let you see how the print is progressing without being blinding or totally obnoxious.
You can run the light directly from your house power using the power adaptor that comes with it; I put together a simple 500mA cons
