I would just glue a laminate on it ....quick and easy.../ local flooring or counter top places will have some remnants ...really cheap.
You might consider some kind of a gentle ...but raised "bull nose" ledge on face and sides...so stuff doesn't roll off the counter...or rip some 1 X material that you can edge it with ...make the edging a little proud of the top ...so it gives it a lip ..but not too deep.
If you pick the right bulbs - fluorescent lights are ok ...but the "cycling of them" drives me a little nuts..../ so I like them for general light ..but not task lighting. For task lighting ...I'd find a gooseneck Halogen light...something adjustable ...like for a drafting table..office stores have them../ the ones I like have 2 bulbs in them ...and a selector switch for 1 or 2 on ...something with about a 6" head on it ...
