That's similar to what I did for the lathe. I'll post more pics and a description when I get a chance.

They're cheap as chips and I shouldn't have to get my head around the resistance calculations. They have switchable battery too, so no leads etc. in the work area!?

I had an inexpensive battery powered work light for the mill at one point. But I left the damned thing on by mistake- so when I wanted to use it, it was perpetually dead. I quickly learned not to bother buying batteries for it, because inevitably I did it again. Couldn't make it work for me.
But really, calculations for LEDs and resistors are very straightforward. As long as you can solder, it's not hard to do.
