what are you lighting up under the layout?  The wiring maybe?

The wiring is my primary concern.  Once I have the track power installed, there will still be switch buses, light buses, accessory buses, and individual structures to tie to them.  And if I have to get under the layout to do maintenance, I want to be able to see and not carry my own light source.

Those rope lights, effectively mounted, can really be nice. However, having around 215 linear feet of around the wall benchwork it seemed a little daunting to install that much rope lighting so I simply use L.E.D. head lamp and occasionally a fluorescent work light.

Plus the fact that  the underneath of my layout is not a dark solid deck island but mostly 3(+/-) foot width, 42" high avg. of free standing cantilevered legless benchwork /shelving in a brightly illuminated basement.
