Bias Lighting
In the Instructables article “Bias lighting on the cheap,” an extremely inexpensive way to backlight your monitor is described. These backlights (also called bias lights), cast a pool of light behind your monitor, significantly reducing eyestrain. I’ll have to try this sometime. The interesting part that makes this all so cheap: “Most expensive bias lights are 6500K (which is the colour tempature of white on nearly all LCD and plasma screens) Fortunately, most daylight simulation bulbs are that, too.”

Aha. The clip light to which they refer in the article is called a “Dinge” — it’s available at Ikea’s website.
