Mod wanted: ThinkLight equivalent?

Flabberghasted that my SL400 didn't have the ThinkLight.
Anyone have a mod or 3d party add-on, less clumsy than the cheap USB plug-in snake-lights, to add an LED for the keyboard?
Many thanks in advance.

I use my ThinkLight a lot, therefore I can understand your disappointment in not having one. However I can also understand why your ThinkPad does not have it. Profit margins are very thin so manufacturers must watch every dollar they spend. Adding a ThinkLight to the entry level ThinkPad lineup is too expensive, thus they left it out. As far as an alternative, other than what you mentioned I'm not aware of anything.

Your sense of humor is outstanding. I got a lot of laughs out of that one... :)
