Did you add lights to your laser enclosure?
- How did you light the inside of your laser enclosure?
- What did you buy, and how did it work?

I lit the inside so I can see better with light burn camera both when positioning and layout, also I really like well lit working areas. Got a roll of 24v leds off Amazon for like $14 and stuck them around the gantry. Wired the. Start to my 24v power supply. When the power comes on the bed is fully lit in every direction no shadows. Took maybe 15 mins to install. Only thing I would different is maybe look in to a dimmer switch as sometimes it’s seems over bright.

My enclosure came with an LED light. I just use one of the Velcro straps to hold it on to the support pole.

I got the push puck lights from harbor freight. Super bright

I got a segment of 12v led strip stuck on the bottom of my module carrier, so I can always see via webcam, no need to see around...

Most people use self-adhesive LED strips. They come on a roll and you can cut them every 10cm or whatever (there are markings). Then you solder some wire to it and that's about it. There are 5V, 12V, and 24V versions available.
