Here's a totally crazy idea: what about a wall swing arm lamp that you can move against the wall when not in use, then swing over to illuminate the drawers? If you can find room on the wall, Besa Lighting's Kona Swing Arm 1WU in bronze seems to fit the craftsman look. Otherwise, Holtkoetter Halopar 4403/3 can be mounted on the wall or ceiling. It has three adjustable spotlights. However, not rustic in appearance. Here is a link that might be useful: Kona Swing Arm

That is a great idea. Do you still have a light switch on the wall? I never even thought of where a light switch would go, but it has to go inside the closet. I think I might get a 24" long LED light so the entire closet lights up. Thanks.

To line up the lights means electric work, box moving, ya know you can't abandon it it would have to be removed and a new one installed, dry wall patching, ceiling painting, so no this is not worth even thinking about. I would update the fixtures and yes match them so you don't draw attention to them.
