I always salvage thrown away computer scanners for the light tube that's in them. This is usually a thin glass tube around 3mm diamter and 200mm long, and is attached to the scanning heading which moves along under the platten. You also need to retrieve the tiny driver board that goes with it. Plugged into 12v these give a lot of light after taking a few seconds to warm up. I haven't run one for long periods though (yet), so I don't know their longevity.

The Scanner that I recovered a CCFL bulb and driver from kept the light on the entire time the scanner had the power on.
Nice full color of light too . . .
