I've been wanting to try this for a long time, but was recently at Ikea and picked up a "LEDBERG" set of three LED light strips that plug into the wall, via an adapter. The whole package was $14.99. Two tiny screws later and voila! The strip is completely covered by a thick plastic housing and removes easily for cleaning from the brackets. The light has an inline switch on the cord and stays well out of the way of the grouphead and the PF when brewing. (Click for larger image)
