Here's what I was thinking for a two post lift, The LED strips are manufactured in 16.4" (5m) lengths. They can be cut at designated locations along the strip so could be cut in half. Buy a couple of 8ft sections of 1/2" or 3/4" electrical conduit or PVC from Home Depot or Lowes then make some loops or hooks out of clothes hanger wire so the conduit would hang in line with the side of the car under the lift pads. Then using the 3M attachment tape, stick the LED strip to the conduit so it will shine up at the underside of the car on the lift. Think of it like two 8ft long trouble lights.

Hmmm, now that I think about it, I have a couple 3ft sections of LED strip left over from the lift so now I'm thinking I can make a couple of 3ft trouble lights to hang under the hood while working on the engine. I just need to find a couple of small wattage power supplies that I can tape to one end of the assy.
