OKAY! So, I think this is pretty much everything that makes my setup what it is. If you see anything I’ve missed and are curious about, or want more details as to how everything came together, lemme know!
(Didn’t trust USB 3.0 with my wireless accessories, and I love the individual button on control on this guy. Plus, you can’t beat that price!)

The other two things you’ll see in the pics are more specific to my transcription job, but in case there’s any interest:
Pretty sure it was this one. (I actually got them as a gift, so I don’t have a receipt.)
If price is not an issue, a number of users reported success with these extendable beams ($70 per pair) coupled with some mounting clamps such as these ones here ($13 each).
A slightly cheaper option would be to get two of these ($26 each), though I haven't seen this one in particular used for the lighthouses yet, it looks like it should work great. Another option would be to use regular old tripods, which many users have also reported success with.
I ended up order one of those clamps (for my smaller shelf at one end of the room) and one of THESE for my Ikea shelf.
