I used the Amazon Barrina (sp) 8' LED. 3 rows of five each, 5000k color ... still a bit "white" for me, would have liked something just a tad warmer. But they are a great deal. So far so good, reviews are good on balance, but some people report longevity problems, others have them going for years. At their price point you can afford spares. And they saved me the expense and trouble of running full size wire across the entire ceiling. I also used them for the bench top lighting, but I'm going to have install some shades on the front side, they are a bit blinding at that level when you glance across at them.
Installed the hardboard on one of the benches today, seems like it will hold up nice with a minimal effort not to abuse it.
Set my 40 lb machinist tool box on four 3d printed corner "skids" and it glides extremely easy across the hardboard, so easy I was worried the box would move when I opened a drawer, but it seems good. Going to stick them on the corners of my cheapo metal parts bins that typically have some sharp edges on the bottoms. I'll be able to swap them around without scratching anything .. usually takes me a few tries to get them grouped in a way that makes sense.
