I found these LEDs that seem to match closely the philips ones on the field.

The philips ones are spaced 3 or 4 inches apart, couldn't figure out exactly which strip they were using.

I also second rsisk's statement. The light's you use really won't make much a difference, because you will need to have a pretty good filter in place that works in many different lighting environments to minimize calibration necessary on the field (I'm guessing the practice field won't have this lighting).

Also remember, you have a 50/50 chance at hitting the hot goal so it's only worth on average ~2.5 points, so take that into account when you prioritize your programming tasks.
