Diorama lighting?

For those who photograph dioramas (or other setups that aren’t just a plain background) indoors, what kind of lighting do you use?

My eternally delayed diorama project is in my bedroom, which has zero natural lighting, because I like tomb-like darkness for sleeping. The one center light fixture isn’t going to be enough to light it well, so I’m trying to decide what to do. It will be on the “desk” part of a set of hutches, so I could use under-counter lights, strip LEDs, or maybe smaller clip-on spot lights...
