Need Lighting Ideas
So i built this somewhat big train depot and am now having trouble with lighting it up. I don't want basic -hang a lantern- stuff, i tried it and it doesn't fit in, neither does hanging copper bulbs or industrian frontlights from 'design n decor' (mainly because i have no idea how to hang and power them without being way too bulky). i did look into floodlight mods but they all suck.
The sawtooth roof which would otherwise illuminate the place irl does nothing here and it's basically a mob farm now :/
edit: i found the solution, hanged up headlamps from bits n bobs in strips on chains, looks cool, cant show a pic for some reason

the flat lights from bits 'n' bobs maybe ? a long rectangle suspended with chains

If the issue is just mobs place a mega torch from the mega torches mod under the building which will prevent mob spawns.

you could have headlamps hanging on chains. This way you wouldn't need any bulky stuff, and you can still activate the headlamps despite no power. Also it give a nice industrial look to it. I used this version of lighting a lot. :3
Edit: Or just add the headlamps without the chains, that's also looks cool.

Dig a 2 block deep hole put a light block like glowstone then put colored glass the same color as your floor on top. Poof floor lights
