And a couple of LED spots to illuminate my whiteboard.

Flexible Office Mini 28 LED USB Light For Computer Lamp Laptop PC Desk Reading 2$52
One should not plug those in an USB connector, its weight will kill the connector, so I modified things and fixed it to front PC with super glue:
It is still working, have it on most of the evening. Glue to any heavy object, 5V DC, no interference..
After 7 years 2 LEDs died in it, makes little or no difference in light. it is VERY bright, no way can you look into it. Easily adjustable, great keyboard light too.
