So here are the notes I have so far:
1 - I feel like this would be the best place to place lighting, but I'm not sure how to mount it to the interior of the shell without damaging it. I could probably use Velcro strips for a light enough strand.

2 - I think this would probably be my least favorite of the 3 spots to place lights -- Unless the lights are really bright, they probably wouldn't be able to illuminate the areas below the ridge they sit on. One advantage is that installation wouldn't be as challenging as spot 1.

3 - I feel like this would be the easiest place to install lights because we can use clear tape to attach lights around the metal frame of the window. One great advantage is that I could use super bright LEDs and simply wrap them around so that the light is facing directly outwards from the window, so it wouldn't be directly facing us. I'm a little skeptical about how well it'll light the whole room though.

Also, many of the reviews I've seen for EL light strips have said that there's a high-pitched buzzing sound when they're on, which I REALLY don't want to deal with.

By the way, I'm posting with a name now.
