The Haunted Hangout wasn't wired for lights inside. There is a string of cheerful ghost lights on the outside. One of them can be seen dangling from the porch ceiling. The rooms are deep, so it's hard to see what's going on in the back. Viewers have used flashlights, but that's not very satisfactory.
I found some super bright LED lights designed to illuminate under cabinet areas, display cases, etc. They come in two lengths, 12" and 24". I bought two of the shorter versions to try them out. They produce a very blue light, which in this case lends a nice eerie feeling to the scene. They have adhesive on the back and a fairly compact case for batteries and the on/off button. For the upper floor, I ran one of the strips across the near side of the ceilings. If I were doing this at the time of the build, I would have cut a slit in the center wall at the ceiling and run the strip through it and done the same on the ground floor.
On the ground floor, with no easy way to share the strip between the two rooms, I ran it around the ceiling of one room. It was difficult, as the strip is thick enough not to want to bend very much on its flat plane. I was afraid to clip it to ease the curve as I couldn't tell where the internal wires were located. So, I need to get one for the room on the right.
