Any smart LED lights for OF2200?

I have this shiny new OF2200 - used it for rounding over some edges this weekend, and aside from excessive friction between the base and the rough cedar, worked like a champ.  There's no substitute for MORE POWER!

That said, it's a strange thing for me to remember to look through the FRONT of the OF2200 - but I can because the dust collection with my CT26 is pretty good.  Now I just want a nice LED light setup, like my wee dewalt palm router has.  It has two nice little LEDs that really light up the bit.  Any suggestions for what can be done here?  I already use a gooseneck lamp on my bench, but something shining down ON the bit would be just heavenly...

Thoughts?

EDIT: I'm kinda thinking maybe I should just jury rig something like this: http://www.amazon.com/Brinkmann-9087-LED-Grill-Light/dp/B002UKPTSQ/ref=pd_sbs_ol_1
 
I used these from Coast as they look to be the same as micro-fence. Drilled small block with 2 holes and mounted to a PC  [scared] router with hot melt glue. Cost < $10.

Check out other flex head lights on Amazon. The Coast light takes 4 AG5 batteries. Other lights use AAA and some have magnetic bases.
 
I bought one of these and love it.  I wrapped carpet tape around it and zip-tied it to the RHS column with the button right by my trigger finger.  Works awesome and helps a lot.

I'm working in the basement with overhead light and task lighting - but nothing is as good as a point light source right by the dust shroud!
