How do *you* light your pit?
Iron Kings have been working on their pit area this off-season, and it's obvious that our setup would benefit from more lighting.
The pit was about the size of an FRC crate on its side, split down the long way on a hinge. We've cut down one of those halves to table height for an additional work surface, and the plan is to build storage and a charging station underneath. (We're still deciding if we want or need the other side--not being able to drag more crap to an event may be addition by subtraction.)
LED strip lighting seems like the obvious answer for the storage portion, but I'd like to know what other teams have tried for both storage and working spaces. What worked, or just as important what didn't work?
