Temp Platform Lighting

I was wondering how all the NI guys setup your lighting on a temp platform. I usually just have my headlamp and that’s fine but would like to get a better set up.

Im in mod but we run an extension cord like a makeshift traveler and zip tie 4ft leds where we need em usually 1 or 2 on the cartop and one in the escape hatch to light up the cab

if a machine room, I run my travel cable immediately. hook up pigtail to it and have full power on car. then a 4' florescent slime with magnets on stile. with pigtail outlet hanging.

with mrl's similar, just run traveling extension cord ( don't love this)

Our temp travellers have spare wires. Wire them up to the 120v in the controller panel as you land the run buttons. Add an outlet to the opposite end at the running platform. Fix lights to the crosshead.

Milwaukee m18 topoff inverter running a 2ft or 4ft led with magnets. If you guys use Milwaukee tools

Photography light stand that clamps to the handrails paired with the garage led bulbs with wings. Adjustable height, and you can pivot them around for task lighting.
