The Thing-O-Matic gets kind of hard to light externally, since one side is completely closed off. I remembered this little ring of LEDs I'd purchased a long time ago for another project, and as luck would have it, it exactly fits the wooden extruder opening on the ToM.
Here's a link to the exact light I am using:http://www.dealextreme.com/p/t10-24-led-white-light-car-angel-eye-80mm-diameter-26001
This light is SO BRIGHT it lights the entire chamber, but the EXTREME INTENSENESS of it just made my camera take horrible photos of the lights themselves when on. So I took some off, too.
You can see my power switch is just taped to the corner of my 'bot; if I were more clever with design I'd make a little housing for it. Maybe someone wants to offer some aid.
