The "LEDS on a tape" are a good choice. A resistor and LED every couple of inches, cut off what you need with scissors. Sticky tape on the back. ebay & amazon. cheap.

Hello,

Looking for recommendations for RF quiet 12 volt LED fixture, perhaps 2 feet or 
4 feet long.

Context:

        Intended use is ARES (ham) station at a hospital, to illuminate the 
work area,
        bright enough to read by (not just avoid bumpng into things)

        12 volts is readily available (600 watt solar array, 600 Ah battery 
bank).
                Yes, “12 volts” might actually be “14.5 volts”.

        We have an inverter for 120 VAC, but prefer to minimize 120 VAC items.
        We use VHF / UHF now, and plan to add HF this spring.

        Prefer something that I can “just install” (rather than a bag of LEDs 
to assemble).
        As it is a hospital, UL or equivalent is preferred.

        As it is likely to be self funded, somewhat cost conscious.

Thank you for considering.

PS:  we also need to illuminate a “100 foot” hall, so as not to trip on anything.  Just get 
12 volt “rope lights”, and string out as needed?
