I always wanted to have a fixed installed light for monitoring the first few layers without using a torch...
This construction consists of three pieces, two of them can be printed in PLA, or maybe even better some kind of PET because of the possible heat of the printbed at longer prints. The railmount has to be printed in a more squishy material, like tpu. It has to be bent to snug fit into the rails. The tightening then happens when you screw a M3x8mm screw inside. The tpu will be pressed outside and the complete mount wont move any longer.
Just position it so that the extruder doesn´t hit it at max deflections.
The mount is made for these kinds of leds:

You have to print the angle.stl two times - one mirrored because of the inner conduit for the cables. Place the mounts so that the cables come out at the back of the mount. These can then be routed under the rails to get a clean looking printbed light.
Please leave me a like or a comment if you have any questions.
Enjoy! And happy printing :o)
