I have 2 of flexible LED lights from Jaycar. They are $30 each and draw 0.2amps each. Not as bright as my fluoros but in a canopy I reckon they would be perfect.

Cheers,

Mark.

Ebay has some very good and cheap LED ones. Very little current draw with them. John

I have 3 of these 13W Narva fluoros on my canopy doors.

And one of these Narvas in the cab

You'll find them in any shop that stocks Narva - about $35-40, and Derek sells them too.

I've used a strip light (http://www.ledshoponline.com/led_lightbar.htm#650mm), one down each side, on my canopy.

Very low current draw, and enough light for me to see by for cooking, etc.

Hope the info helps.
