My printer enclosure is already fitted with LED strip lights.
However I also wanted a smaller light which could remain on all the time and offer just enough illumination to see whats going on from my octoprint camera.
I use 3 common 3mm white LEDs connected in series along with a resistor between 750ohms - 1kOhm / 0.5W to power the LEDs from the printers power supply.
This way, the light is on whenever the printer is powered.
Note that the power supply of the Original Prusa MK3S is rated at 24V DC, so if you are using a different power supply you need to size the resistor accordingly.
I placed the light at the far left side of the main printer gantry bar in order to stay clear of the filament while printing.
