A piece of plate glass with a clamp light below, or a pc of lexan with a light. Or dust a little marking chalk dust white for dark vinyls or blue for light color vinyls.

in a pinch several people use an outside window - during the day of course

This is what I do now. I have found a small table with a glass top thinking about putting lights under it.

I cut a corner out of my bench and replaced it with plexiglass and mounted a clamp light underneath.

I ended up getting a new desk about 2 weeks ago.  

I was looking for a glass top desk for this very reason.   This is my $80 purchase.
