Kid & baby photos are the worst, but wait 10 years & things get interesting.   Definitely been an explosion of LED lighting examples. There were virtually no examples, last year.

The trend seems to be kids sticking LED tape to their bedroom walls, near the ceiling & pointing horizontally. There's definitely less uptake of this design by our generation, the same way our grandparents stuck with paisley lampshades. The tastes we grow up with tend to stay with us for our entire lives, with 1990's halogen lights sticking with generation X. It may be that the way kids stick LED lights on their bedroom walls is the way the world is lit in 20 years.

It's not very bright, but could be with enough money. It solves the problem of wiring. Glare on the monitor from lights on the opposite wall could be problematic.

Spare parts & bench supplies allow some testing of various adhesives, positions, & power levels.  The blue strip has 10W.  The yellow strip has 8W.  It's not as distracting to have a bright strip of LEDS over the monitor as you might think.  Competely lining the ceiling might replace all the CFL's.
