Default Lights with low heat output

I want to light an alcove by mounting a "strip light" of some sorts on
a nearby beam. But the beam is only 4 feet above the floor so I want to
install a light which has less risk of burning or shocking the kids if
they accidentally break it.


There are many, many enclosed strip-lights.
It may be appropriate to paint the bit next to the beam brilliant white,
and mount it on the side of the beam.
