Use LEDs!
There are easy to set-up LEDs such as DIODER and such.

Although since last year IKEA changed DIODER from the old cool white to warm white (a.k.a piss yellow) so I'd suggest using alternatives.
I used 4-bar kit from http://www.barlighting.com/

I posted the differences in the Japanese 2ch display case thread I regularly lurk on.

Current DIODER

Bar Lighting LED strips

Keep in mind these are only temporarily placed for testing purposes, I didn't use triangular bars to angle the LEDs in these pictures.
It's also heck of a lot brighter than shown in the photos, I have my exposure set really low so light doesn't interfere with picture quality.

Properly tilted (using triangle acrylic rods cut in sizes) the light extends very well

I have like six glass cabinet towers for figures through out my place, all equipped with LEDs.

Oh, btw, I'm not really crapping on DIODER's yellowness... it goes very well with less colorful, subtle objects.
It's just that cool white is much more preferable for bishoujo anime figures.

warm white goes well with army figures, One Piece Grandline Men series with their faded look, Hot Toys, etc.
