Lighting PVC Cages After Market

What are some good ways to light PVC cages for ball pythons and leopard geckos? I bought the cages eight years ago, so choosing lighting and letting the builders install isn't an option. I'm currently looking at color-switchable LED light strips, so that I can choose between using red and white light (cleaning is easier with full spectrum), but I'd like to hear what you all have done to light your cages.

I realize that nocturnal reptiles don't need light, but it's helpful during feeding time, to check quickly on everyone, and when I need to clean the cages. My house doesn't have a lot of ambient light.

Good Idea!

I didn't think of using the led light strips. I imagine that you could run the strips along the bottom corner along the wall of each rack slot. It wouldn't be the most efficient, but if you had a white rack, more light would be reflected into the tub.

I would imagine you could also rout out a slot and and light each tub with an led from above.

I use a blue "moonlight" LED strip I purchased from Dr. Foster & Smith online. It was around $10 and I use it for transition lighting during the evening/night. One 3 bulb LED strip lights a 36 x 24 x14 enclosure quite well.
