The on/off lights I bought from supercheap auto. You get 3 in a pack and run on AAA batteries. They are made by SCA and have LEDs in them so batteries last a really long time. About $10 for three lights. They have 4 leds in them and Ive put them all around the observatory where I might need them. They just attach with a sticky pad on the back of the light - very easy. Have proven very handy and usefull. The other lighting I have is solar led light from Mitre 10. Cost ~$20 but very soft light. Have several of these too. The solar panel just sits on the outside of the observatory attached with velcro.
Lastly I mentioned the flooring in the observatory and how all the cables run underneath this so no tripping over cables in the dark so Ive included a shot of that. The pier also has those little open/shut clips that any cables not in use are wound up and held to the pier with these. No hassles at all now from cables.
