Thanks CF.
If you'd like an LED link, you might like this one.

I like the idea of 12VDC LEDs instead of the standard 120VAC, because LEDs draw so little power that they can be driven by single deep cycle 12VDC storage battery. I use an Optima, and have had good luck with it.
The advantage of course is, even if the power goes off, the accent lights are enough to enable you to navigate around, to attend to whatever is needed.

BTW, the 12VDC LEDs may also be great for camping.
