What kind of led lighting would you suggest? Shipping as I type and have never bought leds and we wanted to know what we should be looking for. TIA.

You could add a couple of these to the existing light that comes with it.

I have the strips I think you would be more happy with this http://www.modularled.ca/panorama-pro-led-module/

Would two of these be overkill?

I actually have two waterproof strips that I'm not using. I forget how many Kelvin units they are.

If you don't want to go DIY route, ecoxotic strips (panaroma, stunner, etc.) would be the best choice for you. Ebay waterproof lights strips would be useless.
