I bought a rear window mounted brake light from the auto shop with 8 red LED's in it. I hooked up a 9v battery and it's been running for the last 4 years. Because the LED's are mounted at about 70° I set it pointing into the box and it illuminates it more than adequately. A reed switch in the box turns it on and off as I open and close it. Simple, cost me $12 for the light, $1.50 for the reed switch and scrap speaker wire and a 9v battery.
