Thank you!
We're using 12V LED strips and spots made for car systems. We have a spotlight intended for trunks, hoods, and gloveboxes to light up vision targets, a whte 14" strip to make some shadows on the totes for detail. These were sourced at local auto parts shops. We also have some non-addressable RGB strips from sparkfun (or was it adafruit) for the "funlight" decorations, all of which show the same colors at the same time. We're switching all of these with a total of three spikes via the RIO relay ports.
