LED Lighting for Large Format Printer Hood

[CanDoASign4U]

In the deep recesses of my tiny mind I thought I saw a post about LED lighting be used in the hood of a large format printer so that you could see the print as it is being produced but for the life of me I cannot find it, if in fact it does exist. Anyone out there have a set-up like this on their digital printer? If so, what type LED lights are you using?

We used just plain old white ones. There silver boxed. Little ones. I don't know. LOL I had the guys in the back do it.

Gino...In answer to your question a flashlight has been my standby since I started printing but it just doesn't light up the entire area like the LED's appear too. I've been using a Stanley LED flashlight with three heads but it won't light up the entire area under the printer, at least not to my old eyes.
